Metro 2033 Redux

I know this game is great. I know it's graphically superior to the release. I know it's chock full of content and fascinating consequences. I believe it is superior in many ways to the original release. I understand it is infested with extra pixels and smoke effects. However the phenomenal, almost mystical, failure of the game to run under windows 10 prevents me from experiencing this. No. Reinstalling everything, including your OS, graphics drivers, sound card and the entire universe will not fix this. No. Mucking around with your PC, it's drivers, registry, settings or sexual orientation will not fix this. No. Mucking around with back-level DirectX, PhysX or VC will not fix this. No, mucking around with game specific configs, the planetary alignment or Jerry Spunkmeyer's political leanings will not fix this. The game is now, effectively, a black hole into which you can toss your cash. As additional features go, this is - without a doubt- a not-winner. You don’t get to enjoy the "game as it was meant to be played". Instead you get to run the EXE and.. .do nothing. Congrats! Welcome to the real hardcore play-through.

This is a good game with a nice story and atmosphere, however it suffers from some really irritating bugs. Sometimes if you want to continue playing from where you left off then the game will continue but it will stay "paused" at that point, but there is absolutely no way to resume the game. The only way you can get past this is by restarting that entire chapter. This issue has been there since 2014 when 2033 Redux was released and it has never been looked at by the devs, so I don't think they will ever fix it. But to be fair this bug only happens sometimes and not always. Another bug is the graphical bugs. Somewhere in the middle of the game, the game will suddenly get random freezes and then eventually the game will crash to the desktop. This is fixed (for me) by disabling advanced PhysX and tessellation. When you play the game for the first time the game will also sometimes crash to desktop at certain points in the beginning. This happens only once each time at that specific point of the game. Last but not least, frame drops. They occur rarely, but they are there. I have an i7-6700, 16 gb ram and a gtx 1070ti, so this is really not to be expected from this game. Other than that, the game is pretty fun and the story is great. I really want to give a full 5 stars, but the bugs just irritated me way to much.

Playing this remastered version of "Metro 2033" in the year 2020 and i am loving it. the game play and graphics are very good as well as the controls and immersion within the game. This game is very worth it and i highly recommend getting it and trying for the trophies in this one even if you are not normally a trophy hunter it certainly forces you to look out for extra things and discover the depth of effort that went into this game.

well I really enjoyed the game; yea the filters stuff is annoying if you're running out of it but I had no problem about the bullet/money: I ended the game in Hard stealth mode with a lot of money left.. what I really loved btw was the post apocalyptic atmospheres, the beauty of those depressig landscapes and the darkness of the metro tunnels; the game is pretty hard and I had to restart a checkpoint from scratch a bunch of times because I played it real stealth and killed very very few enemies; that was very funny and I prefer stealth to classic shoot'em all gameplay mode. What I did not like was the Italian translation of the game (it completely removed the Russian accent) so I left English audio and some of the stealth mode aspects: often if you put off all the lights you can direct approach an enemy and he doesn't see you at all; also the animation of the stealth knock out is kind weird: if an enemy is sitting on a chair and you try to knock out him you'll see him get up just to let you knock out! that's very weird.. What I REALLY didn’t like is [POSSIBLE SPOILER] the inconsistence of the "positive" ending and the fact that it is not considered at all in the sequel of the game, Last Light, so even if you chose to save the Dark ones in Metro 2033 it will as you actually killed them all in Last Light! That was kind of meh, to me..

I am a horrible FPS gamer. I generally don't touch these kinds of games because I don't find getting killed all the time fun. This game, though, actually has a story and a reason to keep going. The only reason I played this at all is because I read the book. I wanted to experience the things that happened in the Metro and I wasn't disappointed. For a actual good FPS gamer this game may be a little short, but for me it took about 12 hours or so on normal. I am looking forward to playing the next one.
