Metro 2033 Redux
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the Earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age. The year is 2033.

“Great game, the atmosphere was really good. It was dark, heavy and kinda scary, and there were some moments where I got scared a bit. The story was interesting, It maybe wasn’t very long, but it felt like enough, I…”
“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…”

“"Metro 2033 Redux" is probably the best start to the whole series for me, because from the very beginning it hooked me with its incredible tunnel atmosphere, darkness and the constant feeling that you are never truly…”
“Very well made and enjoyable. Voice acting, story, monsters, atmosphere, it is all great! I was going to call it cheeki breeki, but it's even better than that.”
“Oyunun hikayesi rastgele basit dünyayı evimi kurtarıyorum olayı değil güzel atmosfer bölümler konuşmalar şarkılar her şeyi güzel kesinlikle oynanmalı ama yazarı tam bir orhan evladı acılar içinde gebersin”

“10/10. Perfect game in a short digestible package. Nothing to change and no need to play the sequels if you dont want to. The game stands on its own.”

“I tried to give this game a chance, since I heard much praise for this game and it did sound intriguing. I hoped I will also play the whole series. But to be honest, after playing the first game to the end I have to say…”
“Finally, I have replayed this game, and there is not much to say. It's an old game that feels clunky, the economy is broken, and experience is linear, too slow at moments, and for sure it's not some kind of "must play"…”
“I don't know why this game has very positive review. Honestly, in 2026, this game is too clunky. Most of time I can tolerante this problem, but the plot in first hour is too fast and like you forced to skip the chapter…”

“the game is good but definately outdated also if u want good ending which in my opinion the bad ending is that u need to knock out enemies instead of killing them and try to explore a lot it would boost your moral…”
“Its a fantastic game, the world and atmosphere are hard to top, the shooting is servicible and the stealth is a bit wonky. If you are going to play this I would advise going with the bad ending since its cannon anyway.…”
“Great start to the Metro series. Solid game with good story and interesting world. Stealth could've been better but it is the first game. Good ending hard to get”

“The gameplay is pretty simple, but it works well - shooting, stealth and resource management complement each other. Not all the mechanics are perfect, but they don't interfere with the overall experience. The graphics…”
“The game has a great atmosphere. It feels pretty short, but it takes around 8 hours to complete on normal mode.”
“It's a must-play, incredibly atmospheric and enjoyable game. It's completed quickly, and that's even a little sad. I'll probably play it again later for the good ending.”

“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…”
