🎯 Rating: 9/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

📜 Overview
Metro 2033 Redux is a remastered version of the original Metro 2033, developed by 4A Games and based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel. This post-apocalyptic first-person shooter combines stealth, survival horror, and immersive storytelling in a dark, atmospheric world. Players take on the role of Artyom, a survivor navigating the Moscow Metro’s underground tunnels, battling mutants, hostile factions, and environmental hazards. The Redux version improves graphics, AI, mechanics, and lighting, making it the definitive way to experience the game.

🌟 Pros
✅ Incredible Atmosphere – The oppressive, haunting environment makes survival tense and immersive.
✅ Strong Narrative – Story-driven gameplay with great world-building.
✅ Remastered Visuals – Improved lighting, textures, and performance over the original.
✅ Gameplay Variety – Stealth, gunplay, and survival mechanics blend well.
✅ Survival Horror Elements – Resource scarcity and the need to manage ammo, gas masks, and filters add depth.
✅ Two Game Modes – Survival (harder, classic horror feel) & Spartan (faster-paced action) cater to different playstyles.

⚠️ Cons
❌ AI Can Be Weak – Some enemies behave predictably, reducing challenge.
❌ Linear Structure – Not as open-ended as other post-apocalyptic games.
❌ Limited Exploration – Outside of story moments, you don’t have much freedom.
❌ Gunplay Feels Clunky – Some weapons lack impact and responsiveness.

💬 Player Sentiment

Positive: Fans love the immersive atmosphere, storytelling, and survival mechanics. The Redux upgrade is widely praised.
Negative: Some find the linearity and AI issues frustrating, and combat could be more refined.

🎯 Final Verdict
Metro 2033 Redux is a must-play for fans of post-apocalyptic shooters and survival horror. The Redux version enhances visuals, AI, and mechanics, making it the best way to experience this gripping story. While it’s linear and has minor AI/gunplay issues, its storytelling, atmosphere, and world-building make it one of the best single-player FPS experiences available. Highly recommended!

yes, quite the playable game

perfect !

Great game. Awesome story, cool atmosphere and a somewhat satisfying game-play. Recommend for people who love Apocalypse games such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Fallout!

Очень атмосферная и интересная игра. Стеллс иногда такой себе, но это не супер критично. За всю игру встретился лишь 1 баг, и то в конце игры. А так, игра супер!

my dih hurts :( the pain in my dih :( fweh :(

I love the 'Reign of Fire' energy I get from the world

It's kinda fun thinking this is just how Russia is in the fallout universe

While I have a soft spot for this game, the amount of walking and talking forces me say that Metro: 2033 isn't very good. There is also a fair amount of QTE's and [press E to do X] that gets pretty tiresome. I've been playing the Survival mode, and there hasn't really been too many instances where I'm worried about running out of ammo because it's everywhere. Perhaps Spartan mode is where the real challenge is, so if you play this game I'd recommend that to actually get a proper Survival Horror experience. The combat itself is fine, I love the story and the world, but I'd just recommend skipping this one and playing Last Light and Exodus instead.

edit: now that I've finished my replay, I gotta say that the story is very meh. The characters are super thin, so when characters die, I feel nothing, even though the music is indicating that I should be broken up about it. They're also incredibly stupid, and make absurd mistakes simply for drama and prolonging the story. The world is very cool, and I like the different factions you come across that make the world of the Metro feel larger and realistic. This game really makes me want to read the book, and while I enjoy this game, I stand by when I say that anyone who hasn't played these games should skip this and play the following two games [but maybe I change my mind when I replay them].
