Metro Redux (PS4)

Metro Redux is essentially an HD remaster package of two (PS3/360) games Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. These games are heavily influenced by the best selling novel Metro 2033 by russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. (I have yet to read it though plan on reading both it and it's sequel Metro 2034 after playing these great games.) The basic premise for the series is that in 2013 there was a nuclear war that essentially ended human civilisation as we know it. Russia has been turned into a land of the dead with radiation and mutant creatures having taken dominance. The sole human survivors were 40,000 people that fled into the deepest parts of Moscow's Metro carving out little settlements at each station, scavenging on the surface for anything of use to survive. You play the role of one such survivor called Artyom 20 years later in both games. The series plays as a mixture of survival horror and a flat out first person shooter. There is a great variety of weapons to choose from including standard revolvers, shotguns, and rifles to more scavenged built air powered rifles that fire balled bearings. Ammo for these guns will largely be found through exploration around the dilapidated buildings, corpses and railcars in the Metro. In the quiet moments between when in some of the metro station towns gas masks filters, ammo, guns can all be purchased as well as upgraded with different scopes and barrels. These quiet moments are some of the series best parts with lots of dialogue between settlers to listen to, describing their lives in the metro, their worries, their fears. It's a fascinating insight into this dystopian society that brings life to the otherwise dead world. The visuals to both games are fantastic with some beautiful lighting, and fantastic art and environment design. I understand they have both had a visual upgrade, especially 2033 though having never played either I can't give any details to the differences but the games look good regardless. The voice acting is also of high quality, especially the character Pavel in Last Light. There is one issue though in that a couple of the voice actors are used repeatedly as some of the background characters or soldiers which gets quite repetitive. Metro Redux is nothing if not value for money, two full games including all of Last Light's added mission pack downloadable content adding up to a good thirty hours of gameplay, more if you aim for the platinum trophies. To sum up this is a fantastic collection with interesting narrative, great atmosphere, fun weapons as well as some genuinely freaky moments. If you haven't played these games I recommend you do. + Sorrowful dystopian atmosphere. + Excellent visuals, art design. + Compelling dialogue in the station towns. + Great value for money. - Some overly used voice actors for many parts.

I was a huge fan of Last Light on PS3. So when the two remastered games (+all DLC) came out I had per-ordered at £25.00, which was great value for money. I loved these games, the post apocalyptic setting, the creepy/supernatural atmosphere, everything. I'll quickly list positives/negatives: Positives: - Solid game-play, with no bugs (In my experience, and I've played each game multiple times) - Very realistic at higher difficulties, makes the game challenging, and awesome. - Hidden objects are not impossible to find. in some games (Tomb raider) I spend ages looking for crappy useless items. In Metro, if you look for it, you find it. and when you get it, it's a key that opens a cache or something advantageous. - Actually runs 60 fps at 1080p, 2033 looks a lot better, and metro Last Light is now less monochromatic, and has more detail/depth. - Great storyline (especially in Last Light) with two different endings. Negatives: - No way to adjust sensitivity on Metro 2033 (very minor, I got used to it quickly) - On ranger hardcore, no HUD at all, which was really cool, but meant that no prompts are shown for ANYTHING. you may want to familiarize yourself with the controls on an easier difficulty. - Back to the no HUD thing, quick-time event prompts don't show up either. This meant that in a quick-time sequence, you have to guess which button to press and when. (usually it was just square, so no biggie.)

I've been contemplating getting this game/games for a little while now. Finally gave in and ordered it! First of all delivery was spot on! No issues at all on that front, even had it earlier than expected. The game itself... I feel a little let down. I've only played a small amount of the first game (Metro 2033) and I'm finding it really difficult to get into the game. It seems very slow in bits and doesn't deliver the action I was expecting. I understand the game is a remastered version which originally came out a while ago but it still leaves me feeling left short. The gfx are decent but the gameplay itself feels slow and almost laggy. The story so far is decent but I feel as though it's too broken up in bits. You start to get into it then the chapter ends and you almost find yourself trying to rebuild that momentum every time. Overall it's a game you should try especially with the different ways to play the game with survival giving you a tougher time and spartan mode trying to give it more action. And if you're looking for a game to span out over a bit of time this might be for you. 6.5/10 Yet to try out last light however so I'm hopeful it'll be better. Hope this guides you all a little!

I've bought this game back in 2014 and never really got to play it due to the backlog I've had and other games which came out, so it stayed in original wrapper until a couple of months ago. For the price, getting 2 remastered games in full 1080p and 60fps is great. I've never managed to play the Metro games when they came out on PC so this was a great opportunity. The graphics are great, story is interesting but attention needs to be paid to what is happening, as some things are left to your imagination. On the higher difficulty levels, Metro 2033 does get hard, especially running out of filters in certain parts of the game. I've only ever run into a bug once, where an event didn't trigger and I had to resort to the last checkpoint (game tends to save quite often so wasn't that bad). Artyom( the main character) for some reason never has any spoken dialog in Metro 2033 (only loading screen voice-over). This game definitely isn't for everybody, compared to shooting games nowadays, it does feel dated (for some) because there is no online multiplayer or local multiplayer.

I never got the chance to play this game on the PS3 as the reviewes weren't great and the game sounded mediocre; however, I decided to give it a go when its price dropped on the PS4 that combined with the fact that there weren't many games on the PS4 at that time. I think I was wrong..!! The game was really great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Interesting story, gloomy post-apocalyptic environment and great gameplay. Don't get me wrong, as a shooter, its an average 1st person game (don't expect a DICE or Source engine quality), characters are blah!! I didn't give a fudge about any of them or their death (if applicable). Weapons and upgrades are fun (again basic), ** spoiler** there are some good bits when you see monsters fighting each other or even Nazis vs Communists vs Aliens vs Dark ones..etc... too many enemies which makes it more fun. I would definetly suggest playing this game if you finished all the great titles e.g. Farcyr 4, TLoU, Alien:siolation, Evil Within..etc

First off, this game bundle consists of two games that originally released for the last gen consoles and the PC. Metro 2033 for PC and Xbox 360 and Metro: Last Light for PC, as well as PS3 and Xbox 360. So this bundle is a great chance for anyone who missed out on the initial releases and has been eager to try these games out (on the current generation). Or anyone who already knows how great these are, and has the extra cash to spare. I count myself to the later. I'll go into detail about the changes in both games, but only as far as I have played them, since I have not finished them just yet. If you wish to know more in detail about the settings of the games, you'll have to look elsewhere. Metro 2033: The good: + Largely improved Visuals. The Resolution now runs at 1080p and the frames are at an almost constant 60fps (there have been some tests about this, but if it ever did drop, then only 2 to 4 frames, and I for one haven't noticed this once). Also, the lighting engine has been completely overhauled, which is noticeable especially in the indoor levels. + New (Imported) Gameplay-mechanics. I write imported, because a lot of mechanics are not exactly new, but have been brought over from Last Light. These include the ability to wipe your visor from any dirt or blood, a display for your stealth-level (whether you are seen or not), sound queues about the enemies' level of alertness, as well as some modified weapons (not sure if there are any completely new weapons, but I have not come across any yet). Also, you can now use your knife at the press of a button (in the standard game it was a seperate weapon you had to get out). + Improved Character Models. Some Models have been replaced with models from Last Light, for greater detail + Two gameplay modes. The player can now choose whether he wants to play the game in "Survival Mode" or in "Spartan Mode". The former is a more action-oriented mode, where one finds more ammo and has more hitpoints. Survival Mode is the other direction, where the player needs to manage their resources. This choice of gameplay modes is also available for Last Light. + Stealth Gameplay is less quirky. Emphasis on less. While the stealth passages are somewhat manageable now, they're still not very easy. But I guess that's a matter of preference and playstyle. I sometimes had the feeling that the enemies were randomly alerted to my presence, but like I said, might just be I'm no good at stealthing :) One way or the other, it IS an improvement over the original Metro 2033, where it sometimes was just a matter of luck whether you were spotted or not. The bad: - Still the occasional clipping error. Every once in a while I'd have an enemy who got stuck in some wall or obstacle, but this happened very rarely. That's pretty much it for Metro 2033. Overall greatly improved. Metro: Last Light This game did not get such an in-depth treatment like Metro 2033. But why change something thats not "broken"? The good: + This game also runs at 1080p and 60fps. The Visuals haven't been improved very much, but this game is not very old, so there wasn't really that much to improve upon. The bad: - The AI didn't see much of an improvement. I haven't noticed a big difference really, but then again, that might change later into the game. My Verdict: I got this game at £27.89 (pre-ordered), which is incredible for what I got. I can certainly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the series. Oh, and both games come with seperate Trophy/Achievement lists, so that's cool too. This was my first review, so I'm thankful for any constructive critique. (English isn't my first language either :) )

This is one of the best game purchases I ever made. Two spectacularly tense post apocalyptic horror games for £15 is an absolute bargain. While not very long (each game is roughly 12 hours-ish in length), the quality of these games is astonishing. I'd never played either of them before, so I took a chance on the Redux version to pass some time on the PS4, and I'm so glad I did. These games make my beloved Fallout games look like a day at the beach! There's a sense of horror, loss and devastation in these that Fallout never managed to make me feel and it's wonderfully disturbing. The gameplay itself is great and very realistic (too much so at times), and the need to keep an eye on your gas mask filters and use ammunition sparingly makes the experience very authentic and frightening. If you want an intense, gripping few days of gaming, then you won't do better than these. They deserve far more publicity, and I'm looking forward to the new game out next February. A new dedicated fan here for sure! Enjoy :) Oh and for those newbies amongst us, play Metro 2033 first, followed by Last Light.

Very good service and very good game

Metro Redux Double Pack es una auténtica joya para los amantes de los juegos narrativos y atmosféricos. Este pack incluye Metro 2033 y Metro: Last Light, dos títulos imprescindibles que te sumergen en un mundo postapocalíptico lleno de tensión, misterio y emociones. Ambos juegos han sido remasterizados con un nivel gráfico impresionante y una jugabilidad fluida que mejora la experiencia original. Las historias están brillantemente contadas, con personajes memorables y un entorno que realmente se siente vivo (y aterrador). Cada rincón del metro de Moscú está lleno de detalles que añaden profundidad al mundo. Además, ¡dos juegos por el precio de uno es una oferta increíble! Es difícil encontrar un pack con tanta calidad y contenido a este precio. Recomiendo Metro Redux a cualquier jugador que disfrute de una narrativa envolvente, desafíos emocionantes y una ambientación que te dejará sin aliento.

Not the best. Dull game. You need to google most of the weapons instructions. Canister tracking is frustrating. Only buy if it is heavily discounted.

Great game works as it should

Je l'ai reçu assez rapidement et qu'elle plaisir de me refaire tout les metro

Fk yeah!!! Love metro, such an engaging story with immersive worlds. The atmosphere is insane, you will forget it’s a game especially when you have your mask on.. you will never forget the Library... You need to play this game on the hardest difficulty(the one where it gives you the least ammo). You will then truly appreciate and finally feel that true relief when you make it to a safe place.. temporarily.. always temporarily.. and sometimes you’ll learn while fighting in a world of monsters that you’re no different.. but we all have a choice and I’m glad the game allows you to handle situations a multitude of ways. oh and the second game has boobs so 11/10.
