    Best FPS for its price (2 games in one). Really good graphics, a little bit clunky controls, but ok. Really cool story and awesome atmosphere. If you are fan of FPS with a story, buy it!

    Well least these games r still in the green. 1 of the best stories in any format. Great graphics. Yes it is rather linear but way more immersive than most fps. Yes gameplay is kinda oldschool hit boxy. But its more geared towards survival horror. Which i personally prefer. Have not played it on pc. So not bias from being old news. It stands somewhere between an 8 and 9 for me. NotWell least these games r still in the green. 1 of the best stories in any format. Great graphics.

    Metro Redux is in my opinion an overrated survival-horror/action game.
    The game play is not bad and average for first view shooter games, however the horror element was not properly developed and never got me into it. In addition to the poor graphics and environment design.
    If you are a shooter lover and like easy survival horror games, you may like this.

    Overall, it's a very impressive package of remastered FPS/survival horror games. Again, it is better played with Russian (or Ukrainian, if you're inclined) dialogue with English subtitles for a more immersive feel that matches the books themselves.

The additional missions only add to the package, but they are quite difficult. Metro Redux is definitely worth the buy.… Expand

    This game is unbelievable absolutely brilliant the only things I would of liked is to have made it more open world instead of being on the one path (story mode) but the story mode is deadly makes complete sense weopons are top notch too a complete 10

    I am very pleasantly surprised with the overall awesomeness of Metro Redux.

    As someone who has been gaming since before the time of the first wave of First Person Shooters such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and so forth, I've got to admit that the genre itself has gotten extremely boring and repetitive for me - especially the past 5 years.

    As someone who has been gaming since before the time of the first wave of First Person Shooters such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and so forth, I've got to admit that the genre itself has gotten extremely boring and repetitive for me - especially the past 5 years.

    Don't get me wrong - there's some memorable titles I'll never forget such as Quake, Half-Life, Unreal, Sin, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Prey. Oh, and how could I have forgotten Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight - what a Star Wars entry that was, but I digress.

    Okay, to cut to the chase, I've owned both Metro games (original versions) for PC for some time now, but never got around to really playing them, but wanted to, however ended up putting it off once I heard about the Redux package, and I'm very glad that I did do so.

    These two games are incredible. And that comes from someone who isn't easily impressed anyone.

    4A Games did an absolutely phenomenal job with the Remastering, as both games have exactly the same Graphical User Interface, Button Layout, etc.

    Furthermore, apparently 4A Games introduced some items from Metro Last Light into the previous game, such as the watch.

    Bottom Line:

    If you are a Science Fiction fan and you don't mind First Person Shooters without a Multiplayer mode, but with a very good story + polish, honestly, this two AAA game package is a no brainer - get it already!

    P.S. - If you enjoyed Fallout 3, I must say that it really reminds me of it, but much more stable and with less RPG elements, but still a very good narrative, a protagonist which you actually care about, excellent supporting cast, excellent voice work, and some truly terrifying mutations await.

    P.P.S. - Apparently 4A Games also redid the voice work for Metro 2033 to make it sound closer to Last Light. Personally, I think they succeeded. Happy gaming, and be sure to choose Survival Mode (and not Spartan Mode) if you prefer survival horror, have fun!    … Expand

    The character models look really terrible , especially the faces.
    Also the weapons details look edgy and low polygon count.
    The only positive are the great light effects, high resolution , monster models

    -- Controls feel to damn slow and clunky, even with high sensitivity setting.

    -- LOTS of bugs , beware !!!! CE errors opening doors and certain points. Night vision not working cerain levels...Suddendly my character cant use any weapon or interact.

    Do yourself a favor , and buy it for pc for a few bucks.

    I can recommend the PS4 version only if you can get it very cheap or rental.    … Expand

Lastlight on the other hand feels much better and gives a better feeling of weapons and mutants attacking.

    Metro is a great game series, and it really shines on this next gen hardware. The story of the Metro and Artyom is an exciting thriller, and if you have not played it, now is the time.

The story of the Metro and Artyom is an exciting thriller, and if you have not played it, now is the time. The story engulfs you, but not with huge explosions and jaw dropping action. However, it is the atmosphere of this universe. The characters, the feeling of sneaking past mutants, not knowing whats around the next corner, and the visuals (especially on next gen). The first time you exit from the darkness of the Metro into the nuclear wasteland of Moscow the feeling is incredible. The outside is not any safer though as the wasteland is covered with mutants, and you survive by gas mask to keep safe from the toxic air. Metro has a very special feel to its game play as well. The series does an exquisite job of balancing the survival aspect without making you beg for ammo after every encounter. Redux also gives you the option to play the game like a more fast paced FPS like Call of Duty by choosing the games "Spartan Mode" which is good if you do not prefer the survival aspect of the series. Weapon upgrades like adding night vision scopes or making your double barrel shogun a quad barrel also play a big part to the game play. While not unique the upgrades do feel like a nice addition to some already pretty solid gun play. The different enemies and situations Redux throws at you will also allow to take full force of your weapon arsenal, whether its a silenced pistol, an LMG, or flamethrower. Even though Redux brings a lot to offer the Metro can be repetitive sometimes. The game also broke at certain points while playing as I could not advance because of game script not working or invisible walls but these problems are nothing that can't be fixed with a patch. Metro Redux is almost a perfect game, and right now one of the best games to play on next gen.… Expand

    Im not sure why people are giving this game such high ratings! If your thinking about buying it i would say don't. This is why:
    The graphics are poor for ps4 standard.
    The environments feel very basic and clunky to move around. The weapons don't feel or sound good when firing them, and they shots don't seem to connect with an enemy properly, the enemy just sort of recoils a bit.

    You get attacked by the same pack of about 6 monster things all the time.

    The plus points is it does have a decent apocalypse feel to it, quite desolate like fallout 3 but no where near the quality fallout provided.

The game is still hard as dicks on Ranger Hardcore while playing survival mode so that means if you want a challenge you will find one. And hard one at that. The gun play and weapon customization is now on the level on last light and that means more weapons such as the bicycle gun, flame thrower, Kalash 2012 etc.

    You're getting two great games with all dls for 50$! The atmosphere is depressing and super immersive, the lighting is one of the best I've ever seen! The shooting is good, there are some unique guns! The stealth also works fine! But, there are downsides: the English voice-acting is not great, character's lip animation is pretty bad! Overall Metro Redux is a great value (unless you own it on PC)
