Metro 2033 PC Game Review

+Raiden shit im dsp, i guess i should do stea... oh in the video he says the stealth sucks. hope its improved in redux

[@antiparrot2483]

[@TeewooLP]

[@DrdrGames]

Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light are some of of the best games I've played in a long time. Decent story, good stealth, great combat, incredible atmosphere. I played the redux versions, which greatly improve the stealth and make the combat a little bit more dynamic and ballistic.

[@Dover939]

Redux improves stealth and combat? I don't think so. They cut down a lot of the nuance to it. The enemy's accuracy was based on your visibility, if you were green, they couldn't hit you for shit. If you were yellow, they had decent accuracy, if you were red, you will probably die. In redux, there's just nothing and then visible. Not an improvement. Enemies don't care about your visibility.

[@simkas]

Actually, the redux version completely overhauls the entire stealth system. It adds one button stealth takedowns and makes the stealth overall far far more forgiving and easier.

[@Tucher97]

What i read that in the original the stealth is much much harder and harsher as well as feeling as if its tacked on

[@Dover939]

@@Tucher97 you read wrong, the original stealth is harder but it made way more sense and was directly tied into the combat as the enemy's accuracy was based on your visibility level.

[@Tucher97]

oh well regardless there is challenge and there is a pain in the ass

[@Dover939]

@@Tucher97 It honestly wasn't. It's one of the best features of the game, and it set it apart from every other hitscan shooter. If you used lighting to your advantage, and actually paid attention to your surroundings, you'd win most encounters.

[@leeboonkong1021]

I just play original and the stealth mechanic was crazy hard, especially with human enemies like nazi and reds, they all wear helments means silent, one head shot kill is just impossible. Alarm raised will never go away by hiding, you have have to restart the whole section if that happens.

[@TheIGplayer]

the book somehow scared me more than the game (library part)... it was completely different from the game...the "librarian" was able to talk 😐

[@OffTheSpot22]

Just a note to people deciding between the original and the Redux: If you care about performance, go with the Redux. 2033 was one of the first DX11 games and it plays like it, meaning it performs like absolute liquid ass. If you're averse to variable framerate, then you will not enjoy the original, the Redux is worlds ahead of the original from a technical standpoint.

[@santiifm]

SpookyKid94 After finishing dark souls multiple times on console i think i dont care for varying fps

[@TheOther19]

Agreed.. it runs like shit for my pc.. and my pc is a monster of a rig

[@yarpen26]

I pllayed it on a gaming laptop with RTX 2060 in it. The framerate fluctuated between 140 and 210 throughout the whole game which to me is absolutely bananas. Too bad the credits were part of a cutscene and thus kept roling at 29 FPS which looked awful.

[@commiebeater824]

hearing the actual native language of the people and their most honest and heartfelt voice acting is what malkes it immersive

[@yosefyonin6824]

while being russian definetly helps. the voice acting is still fantastic even if you dont understand the language. thats why so many people prefer to watch anime/french movies etc. in the original language

[@yosefyonin6824]

having to listen to shitty voice acting breaks it more fo me

English speakers are a bit too spoiled when it comes to subtitles. When you get used to it, you'll always want to listen to the original voices, regardless of the language it is.

excellent, top notch review, for an amazing game. thank you. and by the way. being a Russian speaker i can safely say that the russian voice acting in this game is PHENOMENAL :D a side note that i must add. i really enjoyed the stealth approach in this game because of hos risky and difficult it is. if you miss with a throwing knife, it SHOULD alert nearby enemies.

[@DrearierSpider1]

A very fair & balanced review. I actually prefer the original to Redux. For all the improvements they made in Last Light, they also dumbed down the stealth, making the AI blind as Helen Keller. Also going from 3 different detection states (green/yellow/red) to just 2 was a poor choice. It felt like they took the easy way out rather than made genuine improvements. Playing LL, I missed how intense it was sneaking around and the genuine feeling of dread when you got caught from 2033.

[@wes8723]

+DrearierSpider1 I like the Redux version more, because even though now 2033 is easier, it's more enjoyable, more fair, better gun handling, more options to weapons and upgrades, the AI in gun fights is better than in original, less loading screens, every cutscene is now from 1st person view which is great, new rooms, new paths, more things to do in human stations, better optimalization and even though some of the graphics effects are missing, as whole Redux version looks far better - mostly outdoors

[@EldritchAugur]

+DrearierSpider1 I have to agree, and I prefer the visual style of the original as well. Redux looks better on a technical level but it also looks very "gamey." It looks fake, with a bright bloomy style instead of the dark and grainy look of the original. I especially dislike the changes they made to D6, it looks like a level from Super Mario Bros. with bright green mushrooms instead of this ancient metallic sarcophagus it was in the original. Plus the wonky mechanics actually contributed to the games' atmosphere, nothing in the game felt certain, whereas in redux everything was so smooth and polished that I just felt like an ultimate stealth badass instead of the terrified clumsy oaf I was in the original.

[@peppermillers8361]

+Kolbe Howard I agree some parts look kind of out of place, but then again some parts look pretty good. The original was pretty unrealistic with its over the top darkness to be honest.

[@Zelousmarineinspace]

A note about the MGR currency ammunition. In real life it's called 7n6 and it's a loading of 5.45x39mm for the AK-74 that's full metal jacket and has a small hollow space in the tip with mass in the back of the bullet, so that when it hits something, it tumbles like crazy, creating a much bigger wound than would be possible otherwise without breaking the Geneva Convention rule about expanding bullets. It's good stuff, and even though I don't have a 74, I have a few packets of 7N6.

One of my favorite game series ever...

[@invisuu710]

Corridor-like gameplay makes sense, since you're literally in a corridor world...the metro. I think the level design captures the books really well. You can finish metro without killing a single person (except prescripted person here and there), stealth IS completely viable. Hell, there's even a karma reward system for doing so in the game and your ending will be different depending on your playstyle. You can even buy sneaking suit like armor. I've played through each of the games at least 5 times and I keep finding new stuff - the game is linear, yes, but there's lots and lots of stuff to explore, you just miss them at first...or second or third time.

[@JmanRising]

Never played the metro games before but the game seems to be up my alley. I wouldn't mind playing more games like this now a days.

Very good and fair review - all points considered. I really enjoyed the game because I love this type of dystopian point of view from Eastern Europe. Luckily, I can speak the language so that is helpful when playing the game. There are a few extra changes in the Redux version such as more places you can explore when you're outside (Dead City 1 for example) as well as the obvious graphic upgrades. Anyway, It's a game I love to play in the dark when it is raining or snowing outside. Good review!

I realize this is quite late to the party, but Redux has a lot more changes than just weapon handling, UI, and graphics. The whole stealth system was overhauled, and many levels updated to account for it. Beyond that, a small but welcome change was the connection of several levels that had previously be separated by a loading screen, which in some cases involved adding "connective tissue" in the form of small new levels.

[@theaether3124]

Late to the comments but yes 1 or 2 bullets is all there is sometimes in Metro, in the book Artyom sometimes only had one mag or even a handful of bullets at a time, the army and hansa would have more than enough ammo but the people had next to nothing.

[@raoulduke2924]

I beat Metro 2033 Redux on ranger twice, and both times I had the same criticism. The auto saves don't always work when you are moving through areas. More than once I lost 10-15 minutes of progress and exploration to bad autosaves only to come back through that area and get two saves in half the time. I didn't find 2033's ranger mode as difficult as Last Light's, where I was nearly out of oxygen on the surface at all times.

[@b0glextra]

The only problem I had with this game was the default FOV. I was feeling sick after only playing for 20 minutes, and I had to bump it up to be able to continue playing.

I found that when playing any of the metro games in Russian the background characters speaking to each other would overrule the subtitles of the main person you're speaking to face to face. This made it impossible to pick up key plot points or clues.

[@felisasininus1784]

For a game with so many freaking awesome and powerful weapons, this series sure did a good job creeping the shit out of me time and time again. Because I normally am too scared to finish any survival horror game with limited or no weapon supply. But in the Metro games, they always gave me a sense of security and power when I was between exploration until they started to throw creepy shit at my face for another around. For an easily scared player like me, it was almost masochistic to finish those two games. But damn wasn't it a hell of a ride.

[@yarpen26]

Yep. To me the heart-pounding culmination occured inside the Library (those fucking apes...), as it well should. Other than that I found that the further I progressed, the more comfortable I felt around the dark. Nosalises (and the surface type, whatever they're called) make plenty of sounds before they approach so it's hard for them to take you by surprise. Lurkers are annoying af but they appear so rarely it doesn't even matter. I started out crouching basically all the time but later on felt secure enough running around like a crazy person.

+Steven Benson wot?

[@dannymartinez8133]

[@mandrews6282]

Redux actually completely overhauls a lot of the game. Especially most of the complaints at the start of this vid. Stealth is much better. But it also adds multiple difficulties as well as the choice between ‘Survival’ which is more like the original 2033, or ‘Spartan’ mode which is more like Last Light. Playing on Spartan, which has a ton more resources for those who like to run and gun over stealth, and Normal difficulty combined make for a pretty easy, but not too too easy, experience. You can totally play Metro as a run and gun shooter having full ammo and resources the entire playthrough as long as you’re thorough. And even if you’re not thorough to be honest as ammo is everywhere. And on Normal, your health regens out of combat or even in combat if you can not get shot for a few seconds. If you want the challenge, it is there for sure on higher difficulty modes in conjunction with survival mode as well. But if you want more of a shooter experience, you can have it. You can have a harder shooter experience on Spartan Ranger or Hardcore or you can have an easier experience on Spartan Normal or you could go Survival Normal or Survival Hardcore. There are enough difficulty options to suit anyone’s playthrough. If you get frustrated then your difficulty is set to high most likely. I rarely stealthed my first two playthroughs of the game and it was a blast.

[@gremli-noid]

Did you have to do something in order to fix the stuttering issue?

[@matternicuss]

Having played both versions I have to say I prefer the Redux version. The lighting is more appealing if not more 'realistic' (I found the original too brown for my tastes, but I can understand those who prefer it that way), the performance is much better, and the cutscenes are mostly kept in 1st person, adding to the immersion. Stealth may have been 'dumbed down', but honestly it wasn't great in the original either (it was no Thief). Both versions are worth playing, but it's definitely more 'survival horror' than FPS.

What was that track in the beginning? It sounded familiar.

Yes! I was hoping you would review this! Its one of my favourite games, im also a fan of the books. Have you played the second one, metro last light? The stealth actually works imo (i dont have too much experience with stealth games), you can go a lot quieter than the original. If you havent played it yet, you should

[@Gggmanlives]

+SgtKolea Yeah I didn't like Last Light as much.

I've enjoyed most of your reviews but I am curious about one thing, which fps games that is recently released (from seventh generation until now) might become a classic 10 years from now?

[@Gggmanlives]

+Arsyan Sugiri There's plenty. Bioshock for instance, FEAR, Deus Ex HR, Wolfenstein TNO...

[@GeorgeRasoulisMusic]

Gggmanlives Bioshock for soure!

If you stare at the librarian just before he engages in combat there is a chance that it will walk away. It's supposed to be some kind of challenge to them.

Thanks, this video just reminded me I have this stashed somewhere in my closet. Good game asides from ammo annoyances and what not. Definitely would've played this at least one more time but I got so many games sometimes it's a bit hard to catch up. Worse yet, I have a regular job so don't have as much time for gaming as I used to but now I got an urge to go dig this game outta my closet...

I read the novel and damn it was a good read.I've played the game and I can say that... both are equal.I liked both.

If you like atmosphere, then you should check out Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason. It gives those similar vibes like Metro does for me, though it is notorious for having sub-par performance even on modern PC setups. Despite that, it's a very interesting game.

[@Gggmanlives]

+Juicy Hostage I'm playing it atm. It's like Condemned meets STALKER.

[@JuicyHostage]

Gggmanlives That sounds pretty accurate alright

[@skyborne80]

After a few false starts, I really got drawn deep into this game and it's everything gmanlives says it is. It's just simply a fantastic game.
