I recently purchased the Metro bundle while it was offered at a lower price.
Since these games are listed as compatible with Windows 7 I was eager to play them on my older (but quite powerful) i7-970/24GB/RTX2060 system which refuses to run Windows 10 or 11.
While Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux both work perfectly fine on this PC, Metro Exodus Enhanced refuses to run. Metro Exodus (not Enhanced) will work OK.
So if you want to play Metro Exodus Enhanced, please be sure to use Windows 10 or 11 also make sure to avoid using an NVidia RTX 5000 series GPU as these games all use PhysX. While PhysX is still supported on these GPUs, support is through software emulation only and the performance is really poor.
PhysX performs well on all RTX 4000, 3000 or 2000 series of GPUs.
