Each game offers 10-12 hours of single player campaign. Story aside Metro Redux offers veteran and newcomers alike to experience the definitive collection of everything Metro. You’ll know when you’ve done something good or bad by the screen briefly lighting up blue or darkening with the accompanying noise of whispers or ominous sounds respectively. Something as little as listening to a conversation to completion or taking ammo out of an altar has a positive or negative effect on the ending. Both games also feature a hidden moral point system which has an effect on the endings as well. There are two possible endings to the first game though the “Ranger” ending is the one that Metro: Last Light is based off. One of my favorite things about this series is that Artyom is always at odds with his decisions that you make as you journey through the story particularly with 2033’s canonical ending. As Artyom, you end up aligning yourself with the Rangers through the initial but brief encounter with Hunter in Metro 2033 Redux’s opening moments. To make things worse human nature rears its ugly head as you have to join in on the conflict of the warring factions: Red Line, Hansa, the Reich and the Rangers for survival. The surface world is toxically in shambles and the tunnels which you will spend a good deal of time in are haunted with residual memories, eerie children’s voices and eight-foot-long mutant rats. Metro Redux is the accumulative story of intensive underground and surface survival where the fate of mankind rests in you, the player’s hand, as you encounter a mysterious race known as the Dark Ones. Both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux are based upon the books by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky and tells the story of one Metro Station dweller, Artyom, an orphan surviving in the shattered subway of a post-apocalyptic Moscow. Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light are both among my list of favorite FPS titles of all time as they both contained a great story, intense moments and gorgeously bleak environments, so I was thrilled to find out that both games were getting the next-gen treatment for PC in the form of Metro Redux.įor those not already familiar with the series, I’ll lay down some backstory. We did thankfully get Metro: Last Light and it turned out to be a wonderful, yet not as intense, experience as its predecessor. It was merely a year ago that uncertainty made me wonder if the Metro series would get its sequel after the unfortunate closure of THQ.
