A Haunting Journey Through Post-Apocalyptic Russia Metro Redux Review

Mr. Fore

Updated: 2 days ago

Metro Redux drops players into a brutal, apocalyptic Russia, where classic Soviet architecture and detailed environments create an atmosphere that’s both immersive and haunting. Every inch of this world feels meticulously crafted, and from the very start, the game establishes a unique tone that stands apart from other post-apocalyptic settings.



Metro Redux's Visuals & Detail quality

Though Metro Redux’s graphics reflect its 2014 origins, the level of detail is outstanding. Every structure, from abandoned tunnels to destroyed buildings, captures the bleak atmosphere perfectly. Despite the graphical limitations, the design team’s dedication to detail makes each scene feel immersive and realistic.

Combat & Gameplay Mechanics

The combat in Metro Redux is one of its highlights, with some of the most unique weapon designs and mechanics that make really diversify your encounters. Ammo scarcity, ammo being a currency, and various tactical options creates an unique survival and gameplay experience.

Storytelling & Characterization

Metro Redux offers a compelling story that benefits from its Eastern European roots, with a raw humor and cultural authenticity that set it apart. Engaging NPC conversations and small, everyday scenes—like children playing amid ruins—add depth to the narrative, making the world feel both lived-in and grueling.

This sort of detailed world and atmospheric storytelling made Metro Redux a very compelling game.

I do not have nostalgia to push my review any higher, playing it in 2024, I believe it's still a fantastic game. For those who love atmospheric games that transport you to another world, this is a must-play! Thanks for reading our Metro Redux Review!
