    Um jogo bem diferente, uma experiência bem legal. Mas, a história é bem confusa, o radar também e como o jogo flui no geral. Mas de resto é bem bacana. Tem uma dificuldade bem legal, equilibrada e a jogabilidade é bem legal.

    Metro Redux offers the ultimate Metro experience in all it's glory, but with enhanced graphics. The graphical upgrade -- as is so often the case -- enhances the entire experience. The claustrophobic and tense atmosphere, combined with some engaging -- altough sometimes clumsy -- gunplay, makes this a game which stands out from the rest of the FPS-shooters out there.

The way the story is presented isn't exactly superb, but it is engaging enough to keep you going through the game, to keep you waiting to see what the next chapters presents to you. Metro is very much a classic shooter experience, and that's a good thing. Despite the humble budget of the producers, Metro sucks you in to its world, its characters, its story. Metro occassionally suffers from it's linearity, and the story and its characters can get a bit cheesy at times. But my overall experience with the game was a positive one, and would happily recommend it to anybody who is into a classic shooter experience that at the same time offers a captivating story.… Expand

    The interactions between NPC's feel real and make you understand how bad their situation is. The atmosphere is amazing, and the plot is not too complex but well carried out. My complain is that even if everyone in the game tells you that the threat that mutants represent is huge, I feel like Rambo playing on survival mode and normal difficulty. I know I can get to the most difficult mode playing on commando, but I think a game must be criticized on the normal mode, hence I think that ''normal'' difficulty is the difficulty that the developers built the game around.
    Another problem is that if you haven't played the whole game you don't know how many filters you'll use, so personally I thought that the develop team made every level feasible without buying filters, so I got stuck in the last level, but I'll say that's my fault.
    I give it a 8/10 in the Xbox One edition because I had 3 crashes and had to replay the same level 3 times until I could finish it.
    If it wasn't because of crashes it would be 10/10. Even tho it's a MUST PLAY.    … Expand

    Metro redux may be amazing, exciting, cruel, fearsome and so many other things but in the end it may seem a little bittersweet.
    It nails it in the atmosphere of a post apocalyptic world. The way your mask gets dirty, the dialogues of hopelessness, the cruelty of some people make metro one true experience in the game's inmerssion.

    The storytelling is easily meant to be loved or hated. Sometimes it has really interesting situations but some other times it feels boring and simple.
    The gameplay is a little bit awkward, The guns don't feel that unique as they could have felt, your movement is very slow, they are very generic. Overall in terms of game play it feels generic and has an awful AI; except for the gas mask, a very good concept, and the survival horror aspects. The stealth sections are a very great miss.
    If you like slow paced shooters with survival horror aspects, this could be your type of game. Beware of the A.I. if this would have received an improvement as well as the gameplay, this could have been one of the best franchises of the last gen. It was a great opportunity with a bad gameplay and level design.    … Expand

Having replayed both on Survival Ranger Hardcore, i truly believe and hope that some of the people involved in the Redux remake, must be fired and hopefully removed from the industry completely. The people responsible for the totally infuriating changes in levels like Outpost, Pavel boss fight, Chase, and some more, accomplish nothing but destroy the hard work of their colleagues, responsible for creating the unparralelled atmosphere and immersive setting of both these games. Definitely give these games a try, but beware and be prepared for your gaming enjoyment to be shattered frequently, due to ridiculous and childish design choises, masqueraded as difficulty spikes, made worse by the buggy ai, very bad hit detection, stupidly placed checkpoints (sometimes thy work, sometimes they don't), uninspired gameplay scenarios, not to mention the countless glitches i encountered for the first time in this release, with the night vision, character becoming unresponsive, and more.
    I really hope that the people responsible for these bad design choises, and also for the general tuning of the game, stay away from the upcoming Exodus, being replaced by more creative and capable individuals, along with the inspired people responsible for the world building and setting, so that this franchise will finally shine.    … Expand

So when this remastered pack was released, it was a perfect opportunity to get the whole story.
    While some may say that COD or Battlefield are the best FPS' to play, I would have to disagree 100%. Sure, they for the most part have slightly better fluidity when it comes to the game play, but what makes the Metro series special is a mixture of the shooting, the stealth elements, the atmosphere, and the story. I wouldn't call it a horror game, but it definitely has an eerie feel to the environments. The story is pretty good with the whole Dark One's concept and the factions fighting for control of the Metro system. Nothing too revolutionary, but it keeps you engaged nonetheless. The weapon selection is pretty cool and the fact that you can customize them is a nice bonus.
    I will say that this game is not forgiving on the higher difficulties, but that makes the game appeal to both casual and more hardcore gamer's. What keeps this game pack from getting a perfect score is the short campaign is both games and the lack of graphical improvement on Last Light. Overall, these are slight nitpicks that shouldn't keep you from playing both games. Highly recommended.    … Expand

Ranger hardcore is great mode when you don't have hud and can check your stuff just in diary. Everyone is also more powerful that make from this game big challenge.

    I didn't like it. Way to linear for my tastes and buggy as hell. The story was semi interesting. The controls felt sluggish. I just in general don't have anything nice to say about it other than it looked good. I suppose seeing the little side conversations was kind of cool, added to the atmosphere. Overall though just a waste of money.

    Metro Redux is the remakes for the first two Metro 2033 games that were released on last gen systems. What started out as an under-the-radar survival horror FPS has turned into one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. While it's not perfect, the game is easily one of my favorite games I've played in awhile.
    The two games here are fairly different. While the first game    Metro Redux is the remakes for the first two Metro 2033 games that were released on last gen systems. What started out as an under-the-radar survival horror FPS has turned into one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. While it's not perfect, the game is easily one of my favorite games I've played in awhile.
    The two games here are fairly different. While the first game introduces you to the world and characters of the series, the second game really lets loose the shackles on the world and gives you a memorable plot filled with characters that were well suited for the world they live in. The Metro games are set in a post-apocalyptic Moscow in the year 2033. Humans have to live underground in the Metro stations underneath the city itself to avoid radiation poisoning. Both games work very well to deliver a great story, moreso the second game than the first, and both really try to put you a realistic situation when you encounter some of the hideous monsters in the game. The survival horror parts of the game are really well done and do an adequate job of dealing out the scares while immersing you in the dangers of every little thing you encounter. The game really sucks you in and tries to keep you firmly in the belief that, no matter comes, you really can't do much of anything in the long term to save anything. It becomes the players job to push forward to hopefully find a way to save the human race. It's really good and the main character you play as through the game narrates the story as you go along. He does an admirable job in keeping the suspense going, even through the down times when you're in a town resupplying. Pretty much everything that deals with the story is wonderful and very suspenseful.
    The problems with the game lie in more of a technical design. While Metro 2033 is really old at this point, the second game, Last Light, was only released last year. However, neither game looks very good in the graphical department. In fact, both games look like they'd be at peace as a high-end PS2 game IMO, obviously moreso 2033 than Last Light since it is quite a bit older. Plus, getting English voice actors to play people with Russian accents was not a very good idea. Most of the characters in the game come off either over-the-top in their delivery or just phoning it in. It probably would have been better to just let everyone speak Russian with subtitles or lose the accents then leave us with what they gave us.
    Neither of these things are much of a reason not for me to recommend this game though. It's wonderful and I will be recommending it to anyone I know plays games in the future. Also, one final note: While children should not be playing these games in the first place as they deal with very serious topics and are very bloody, Metro: Last Light has a pretty good amount of Nudity in it, and at fairly surprising times. This is a warning for anyone who might be offended by something like that in their video games.    … Expand

    Despite the impeccable atmosphere, flowing framerate and gorgeous environments, this game doesn't stack up to that tier of game and honestly the whole experience feels very unpolished.

    The game can wipe the floor with you on the hardest difficult but can feel incredibly easy on one difficulty lower. You go from getting maybe 20 bullets in a section to getting practically 60 or 70 and the game literally needs an entire legion of enemies to kill you.

    Hard difficulty doesn't have to be a problem in a game if the sections feel achievable but these chapters really don't feel like they are well-made. Thrown knives miss enemies constantly, bullets sometimes do more damage than other moments and the game just feels inconsistent. Plus, the animations are clunky despite the well done atmosphere. Honestly the entire game feels reminiscent of games from the early 2000s with the awkward reactions and strange faces on the character models.

    I can get past these kinds of problems if the story makes up for the gameplay or the performance doesn't impair the experience. However, here the story seems entirely average and the script really feels staggered. Because of that, the dated mechanics stand out to me.

    I'm very surprised these negatives are never brought up in other reviews I have read because it is really all I notice from this game. Plus, the core gameplay really doesn't have anything interesting to set it apart from countless other apocalyptic titles except for some nice puzzle sections and moments where you use unique items.

    Pros
    -Beautiful, detailed atmosphere coupled with surreal music and pretty landscapes
    -Interesting puzzles and sections involving gas masks or lighting

    Cons
    -Script is often awkward and oddly written whether read through subtitles or spoken through the English setting
    -Enemy reaction and animation feels strange and very jagged
    -Steep difficulty spike or laughably easy, no in between
    -An inconsistent stealth system featuring no parameters of what will kill someone    … Expand

    There’s no doubt that Metro Redux represents real value for money. Neither game is perfect and Metro 2033 does show signs of aging, despite the improvements, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an entirely playable game which serves as a sort of hors d'oeuvre to Last Light’s main course.

    Metro Redux sets the bar high for what a HD remaster should be – not only a visual upgrade, but a gameplay touch up as well. Metro 2033 benefits the most from this, and owners of Last Light will have a tough time finding many improvements. Still, if you’re yet to visit the bleak world of the Moscow underground, there hasn’t been a better time.
