the absolute PEAK of gaming right here. dont even read the review just buy it you sausage. 2033 has the best atmosphere by a MILE. from dark, cold n empty moscow to stations of fire, laughter n водка. the sound engine was developed specifically for 2033 and it shows. i have not once in 100s of games heard a game sound so accurate, so real and overwhelming, gunshots recorded in ukranian underground tunnels, footsteps …

Metro 2033 Redux is one of the most atmospheric post-apocalyptic games ever made. The game throws you into the dark underground tunnels of Moscow after a nuclear war, where every bullet matters, the air is toxic, and deadly mutants can attack from anywhere. The biggest strength of the game is its incredible atmosphere. The sound design, dark environments, gas mask mechanics, and constant feeling of danger make the …

This game sucks. I couldn't even fu*k Miller. Nah, but for real, this was a fantastic masterpiece. I absolutely loved the story. It was entertaining, incredible, and exceptionally well written. The monsters were extremely well designed, both in terms of their sounds and animations. The weapons were incredibly satisfying to use and fire, especially because of the sound design and atmosphere, which this game …

It’s a gritty, dark, and occasionally terrifying journey through a Russian subway system that makes your local commute look like a trip to Disneyland. It’s got some of the most cohesive atmosphere I’ve ever seen in an FPS, and while the stealth can occasionally be total dogwater, the overall experience is a must-play.

The graphics still hold up, especially the lighting and mist. Short and linear, but the pacinng is solid and it never really got boring. Took me around 9 hours to finish. Survival normal gives you enough resources if you don’t play like Rambo. I mostly saved military ammo for upgrades because regular ammso does the job fine. Human stealth…

I played about 20 minutes of the original 8 years ago and remember none of it, and don't care about whatever issues there are with the companies, so I'll just give my thoughts on the game on its own. First, the parts of the game I enjoyed. The weapon customization stuff is cool, and I did enjoy the different feeling of all the guns. While I would…

neutral · AI labelView post →If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic games, Metro 2033 Redux is a must-play. It’s one of the best in the genre, and its atmosphere is unmatched. The world is packed with details that truly show the misery and struggle of humanity after the collapse, especially when you’re in the metro stations, listening to people talk and going about their lives. This is not a game you should rush through. Take your time, explore, and pay attention to the small details—the experience is much richer that way. I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Metro 2033 Redux is basically a relaxing weekend getaway to the Moscow metro, assuming your idea of relaxation involves gas masks fogging up like a broken vape and mutants trying to speedrun your lifespan. The atmosphere still goes ridiculously hard, the lighting makes every tunnel look like a moody Insta filter and the gunplay feels smoother than it has any right to be. You’ll still catch the occasional NPC talking like their brain buffering and stealth sometimes clocks out early, but…

Ammo is scarce, filters run out, and every bullet matters. The immersion is raw: your gas mask cracks, your watch shows time, your lighter flickers in darkness. Graphics: Not as flashy as newer games, but the lighting and shadows carry it hard. The Redux version improves textures and performance, but it’s still a “dark beauty” rather than a visual showcase. Emotion &…

I played the game on the Xbox 360 years ago and didnt have particularly fond memories of it. But since some time has passed and I wanted to play Metro Exodus, I thought I would start from the beginning with 2033 and Last Light. The game just doesnt get going. You spend half of your playtime waiting for sluggish NPCs to finally open a door. You want to progress through the…

Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel, the game follows Artyom, a young survivor who has lived his entire life in the metro tunnels…

Absolute gem. The story is gripping, the atmosphere is heavy and immersive, and the world feels genuinely oppressive in the best way. Every tunnel has weight, every choice feels tense, and the game commits fully to its tone.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my all time favorite videogame series, and it all starts with this one: Metro 2033. What makes this game stand out is, for the most part, its world. The lore is very captivating, and the setting of a nuclear devastated Russia is so immersive. Be advised though, this a completely linear game, not open-world, although it does have some very contained exploration. In my opinion, the linear aspect of it is great for story-telling purposes. Also, do yourself a favor and play it on survival…

neutral · AI labelView post →There’s something magnetically terrible about The Metro. It has dark and enclosed tunnels. The lack of quality weaponry. The even lower ammunition. It’s set in a dilapidated and decrepit environment, where the goal is simply to survive. There’s this pervasive feeling of uneasiness that lingers no matter how still the environment is. I’ve literally spent hours just walking the tunnels and listening to people and, believe it or not, some of those moments without even conflict were more memorable…

The notes scattered throughout the world gave me a fresh perspective on a story I already knew. Having the updated gameplay from its successor is a welcome addition, but there too many changes compared to the original. The new lighting completely changes the atmosphere of many scenes, and some…

The story was interesting, It maybe wasn’t very long, but it felt like enough, I didn’t have the feeling that something was missing. The shooting was satisfying if you get a weapon that works well for you. You also need to be careful about how you use bullets. I got into moments where I was short on ammo and needed to loot as quickly as I could. :D Overall,…

The atmosphere, immersion and sense of tension is amazing. Already started Last Light again as well. Highly recommended shooter / survival horror adventure game.

I like that the enemy doesnt automatically know where you are during combat. The atmosphere are engaging and the story is short enough that if you have a huge backlog you will be please to yourself that you finished a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the book. It was a slow, philosophical, and truly terrifying journey of one young man wrestling with the existential dread and politics of the Moscow Metro. The game is about that guy's twin brother, Rambo Artyom, who apparently spends his days fighting an entire communist army with a rusty Kalash and a pocket full of industrial-strength murder-farts. The game is a brilliant, tense, and polished action adaptation of a philosophical horror novel. Redux smooths out the jank from the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most post-apocalyptic games give you a feeling of “adventure”. But Metro 2033 is not like that, it feels more like a suffocating long night train ride. Dark, confined, terrifying, oppressive, endless. Most of the game’s story takes place deep inside the metro tunnels. An underground world beneath the surface. The environment is almost always pitch black. You can barely see what’s ahead, and danger is everywhere — mutated creatures lurk in every tunnel. The game fully captures the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Metro 2033 Redux is a good game. If you're wanting a relatively short linear adventure with a somewhat interesting plot then look no further. The game is filled with some monsters and interesting characters. You're Artyom, tasked with maybe saving the Metro system (Underground civilization) and in doing that, you will fight Nazis, mutated creatures, and bandits. It has a decent stealth system, coupled with great first-person shooting, and some survival mechanics. It blends these 3 systems…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best description I can give of this game is if Russian survival horror lite and 2000s FPS had a baby. This is a very unique game in a sense; if you don't vibe with the aesthetic and the philosophical theme of the story, then this game is a pretty average FPS. The good are as follows: * Amazing aesthetic for its theme * Decent gunplay and stealth * Very immersive As for negative * Gameplay itself is very average * Lots of follow-up NPC missions * Could be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing story-focused FPS that holds up narratively and visually more than a decade after its initial release. There's a nice variance when it comes to gameplay as well - from chaotic fights against mutants in the tunnels, to tense stealth sections, and hostile excursions on the surface. The game also oozes atmosphere, which makes it very easy to get immersed in. Considering how cheap the game is these days, it's definitely worth a try. Looking forward to playing the rest of the…
