10/10 Spent Money on the game 1x . Spent Money on Medicine 4x.

This game is really amazing! Metro games are one of the best I have ever played! I am big fan!
I have finished it two times! Or seven if you count the other five times I've finished the original Metro 2033.
My review here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kosta9/recommended/43110

The history is so immersive, I felt in Artyom's boots, and it makes you want to play more and more everytime.
In comparison to the original metro 2033 game, this one has a lot more content, weapons, new areas to explore, new achievements, and awesome graphics!

Being able to fully convert the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gun into somthing a little reliable is awesome XD, and also Scopes, put a scope on everything, exept granades :( plox fix hahaha.

Jokes aside, I love this game!

this game is a 11/10, must play! Go grab your copy!

I bought this game with as the bundle whilst it was on sale. I must say that this is one of the few games that I would not have minded paying full price for.

Story:
Amazing, plot twists and moral decisions throughout which also affect the ending. I would recommend at least one play through for the full effect of the game.

Mechanics:
The stealth is amazing but can be a little too easy on the lower difficulties in the fact that people can't see you in shadow even if they are looking at you. This is a bit odd considering they live in dim tunnels.
The combat is a challenge and requires the use of multiple weapons to survive.
Survival mode is amazing; it relies on scrounging ammo, for trading and use; finding reconditioned air filters for your gas mask just to survive on the surface and I'm not sure about spartan mode but you have to recharge your torch if you want to be able to see.

Graphics:
They are amazing but may need tweaking when you go to the surface to prevent lag from shadows and light effects. I realise this is the remastered version but the graphics are still mind blowing, at least to me, today.

All in all I would rate this game 10/10.

P.S. Demons are a b****!

I've already forgotten, how many times I've beaten this gem of a game. Including the original "Metro 2033" it has to be at least 5-6 times. Why? Because the atmosphere and the universe of "Metro 2033" is amazing, it's quite literally "dripping" with atmosphere. Game is fairly linear with minimal exploration, however it adds a lot of gameplay elements, like the possibility of avoiding confrontations with human enemies, incapacitating them without killing them and so on. Also, there's sometimes alternate pathways you can choose, especially when going the stealthy route.

Voice acting in English is very cringe-worthy, I'd recommend trying to play this game with Russian audio and English subtitles. It just feels way more authentic this way, and the VO actors actually do a good job in it's native tongue. If you are a completionist, then it's VERY likely that you'll play this game more than once, so I do recommend playing the game at least once with Russian VA - it's worth it.

Gunplay is very well polished and the "Redux" in this case feels welcome, because the gunplay in the first game didn't feel so great. Gasmask system was very poorly done, and you really had trouble recognizing how much air you really had. Battery charging was extremely obnoxious and stealth was broken - however not in your favor, since if you got detected only ONCE the enemies in the WHOLE FREAKING LEVEL will always know your position, and getting detected was very easy. It felt like the stealth was an afterthought, while with "Redux" they fix the stealth so that it works now like it did in Last Light. Enemies have a very low field of view and darkness = invisibility - hilarious, I know, but at least stealth is viable.

On higher difficulties you die very easily, and game does not have a regenerating health system. You need to use the medkit to make the "bloody screen so real" go away. Guns have recoil and the sound effects are awesome. Highly recommend playing this with a good pair of headphones for maximum paranoia. Ambient music is also phenominal, which has undertones of despair, hope and eerie beauty, especially when walking on the surfice in Moscow.

The story is simple, but it's just enough to keep you going. Highly recommend reading the actual source material for the game, because it covers more about other character relations with Artyom. Lots of phylosophy about life and such. A good read. Still have to get myself Metro 2034 and 2035.

There's also a somewhat hidden morality system (you can't really know how much you have) and it's tied to the ending of the game, or at least it gives you an opportunity to choose an ending, rather than an automatic one. Still, it's disappointing, due to the fact that the next game: Metro Last Light already has a set story, based on one of the endings, so it doesn't really matter if you pick the "good" one. My guess is that the studio lacked the manpower to actually make Last Light into a two-part game, where endings mattered and had to scrap the idea, due to limited time, money and inability to make a branching story actually work, which in the end I think is reasonable, considering the crappy environment the developers had to make the game in.

In conclusion:

Would recommend this to any FPS game enthusiast and even more, to people who enjoy fleshed out worlds with tons of lore and interesting, albeit a little lacking in personalisation, characters. I do hope that more Metro games will be released in the future, because I can easily place this game together with other FPS legends like BioShock, Half-Life and the early days of Call of Duty.

This game has a long ♥♥♥ ..intense story had connection with the world ...a little scary but after killing alot of monsters u il get use to it .8/10 very good game.

If you don't care or just don't pay too much attention to all that"We atomized Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, so when a soul leaves the body it has nowhere to go, and remains here, in the Metro"mumbo jumbo, and your game runs smoothly and doesn't crash, then you'll get to see a very special detail...

Atmosphere... no. The Atmosphere.

Moments when you're alone in the tunnels surrounded by mutants or when you're outside, in the cold dead city, looking for ammo: these moments are what makes this game so ♥♥♥♥ing good.

..........................BEST...........................GAME..........................................EVER.....................

One thing I love, is shooting games. FPS in particular. I like shooters even if it isn't very plot heavy. I just love to shoot things. However, this FPS action-adventure-survival taught me how to truly love and respect those people who can make shooters that, despite their many counterparts, can bring something new to the party. As of the date of this review, those people who brought this thing to the party of gaming, have officialy earned themeselves the title of making what is now my favorite game.

Developer and Developer History:
You can read who the developer and publisher was on the steam page. So I will not bore you with something that can easily be looked up. However, it needs to be known that this game was originally adapted from a book series also called Metro by Dmitri Glukovsky. Not only that, but he actually took part in the development of the Metro game series which is cool because the man. the maker, the magnificent, has given the game version his stamp of approval unlike some other games and their authors (I'm looking at you, Witcher). Also, during development, A4 has never made any other games and this game was not incredibly known at the time of its release and did not receive much hype at the time. SO for a studio's first game to be a big hit and spark a huge cult following, is pretty impressive.

Plot:
One thing that I sometimes hate about games, is their attempt to add too much depth to the plot to where it becomes too confusing (eg. finding out you were fighting for the bad guys, deux ex machina moments with rediculous explanations, etc). However, this game kept it simple. You are fighting for the good guys, and trying to defeat the bad and restore order and peace despite your calm life before your involvment with the different Metros. Also, I love how explicit important parts of the story were made. In many games, any piece of information is usually implicitly stated and "represents" something. That is not a bad thing, but making details so ambiguous can cause hard-headed and naive people like me to have important details slip over their heads. So when this game reiterates an important piece of information via mission intro or diary entry in an obvious manner, it refreshes me on what has happened and what our goal is without confusing me. (As a side note, I personally love the addition of supernatural entities to add horror and supernatural elements to the mix as I have an interest in the Paranormal).

Characters:
The variety of characters in this game, whew. You do not just fight mutants. You fight humans, your inner demons, ghosts. You do not just get along with humans, you get along with mutants and any mutant or person can become your worst enemy or your best friend in the blink of an eye. SO do, not, fully, trust, ANYONE. Eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.

Playability:
I will admit, this was one of the downsides of the game. You cannot change computer volume in game so you have to use the volume slider built in the game. Also, if you're like me and change your controls often, you might want to leave defaults because certain combinations can make some aspects of the game unplayable (eg. Reloading BB gun air wont work without defaults). However, these aspects of the game can easily get used to within the first hour of playing.

Difficulty:
One think I love about this game is it can satisfy those who love horror and survival games and who scavenge often, while also allowing the option to satisfy those who like to go all out Call of Duty style. These options are given in the Spartan and Survival options provided at the beginning of the game to make ammo more plentiful, equipment more abundant, etc. Also, after selecting your play style, you are then given the option to choose your difficulty which I see to be pretty balanced.

Mechanics:
For the time that the game was made, these mechanics were not seen often amongst shooters. The gas masks, the guns, the movement, the agility, the endurance, the health systen, the guns' mechanisms, and how they performed were very new for its time and very unique which made me enjoy it even more when I shot somebody...or something. But you are also allowed to spare people's and mutants' lives from time to time aswell so there is that. However, one aspect I didn't like too much was the moral points system. Now I'm not saying that since on both games I was apparently a huge enough ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to not be given the opportunity to pick any good ending but because I do not think your actions early on in the game should justify what actions you take in the ending of both games because to me, what ending I choose or want at the end of the game, does not and, imo, should not coincide with my actions earlier in the game.

Graphics:
To put it simply, the graphics were quite stunning for being made in 2010 when compared to other games like Left 4 Dead 2 and CS GO and other FPS shooters. However, choosing your graphics settings are quite difficult to get used to in Metro because I have a Nvidia GTX 980 with a 144hz G-Sync monitor and I had to have SS off and graphics on medium for it to even run at 60fps. I don't know about you but I never had to do that with any other game.

Immersiveness:
This is, without a doubt, the most immersive first person shooter I have ever played. I usually play campaigns in intervals. After about 30 minutes I get bored and have to take a break. However, I found myself playing Metro for 3 hours and not even 1/4 way through the campaign. This is by far the most immersive FPS i have played and I never felt more significant than I have in this game and never have I hated or loved a bunch of people made of binary code or notepad more than I have in this game.

Entertainment:
Immersiveness is differnet to entertainment. Immersivness deeply involves and appeals to one's senses. Entertainment refers to how amusing something is when observed. This game, at first can be hard to get into as you are not quite sure what you are supposed to be doing in this game. However, the longer you play, the more the pieces to the puzzle start to come together and the more entertaining it becomes. So, this game is as entertaining as can be to me. Not in the sense of stimulating, but in the sense of appealing to your emotions and by the game almost asking you "how would you deal with this situation, how would you react?, how much do you want to live?" I found the atmosphere, the missions, the people you fight with and alongside, and just the moments looking back on what happened to your homeland more entertaining sometimes than the actual shooting of mutants and people. I found this game more entertaining in a movie sense more than a game sense as I loved just looking around and thinking about all that has happened to my character and what made me want to fight for the people of the Metro, and why this, in the matter of two days playing this game, made it my favorite game as of today!

"Artyom, go check that room"
"Artyom, HELP!!!"
"Shoot it, Artyom!"
"You have to go alone now, Artyom"
Good Game btw
Still don't know how to get the Good Ending

Metro 2033 Redux isn't just a HD re-release or a sad cash grab by the new publisher. They totally rebuilt the original metro 2033 and vastly improved everything. The game is much more optimised and runs smoother, so if your PC could run the original you'll be able to run this without any problems despite the vastly improved graphics.
