This is good to hear, I've finished it 2 times now and I still love it and want to play it. I can still challenge myself tho, I haven't played it on the hardest mode yet. Ahhh why is this game so goooood 😂
I guess I should also thank the algorithm, so thanks RUclips, but more importantly thank YOU (not shouting, just emphasizing lol) very much! I haven't played all the post-apocalyptic games out there but Metro 2033 is my benchmark when it comes to atmosphere in theses types of games, it's perfect.
The original 2010 version of 2033 has none of the issues with the UI and it's arguably the better version of the two. It's much more of a passion project and has far less publisher meddling affecting it. You would be trading some of the expanded worldbuilding for it, though, but it's worth it in my opinion. Aside from a few misinterpreted plot points and gameplay elements this is a solid, well structured review, nice work.
I have to admit, I don't have any experience with the original game so I can't really comment. I did see in various places, including in the comments here, that a lot of people really enjoyed the original, so it's clear to me that even without any of the Redux changes it was a good game. Thank you so much! I'm going to be very honest, you've made me very curious and I ask this genuinely, what misinterpretations did I make? I'm always open to a new outlook on things and I love learning new things about games.
40:56 Ive only ever played these games on Survival Ranger Hardcore You simply open your Journal to see how much ammo you have. Also there are different audio cues for the throwables you select
The journal, as in the diary or the notepad? If it's in the notepad, I never open that thing lol. Since I've played Metro a lot of times, I never needed to look at the journal to see my objective or the direction in which I have to go, so I completely forgot about it. Yeah, there are distinct audio cues, however quite a couple of times when trying to select something even though I heard the cue I wanted I would get a different item. I assume it was me continuing my mouse movement for half a second and as a result moving on to the next thing, not the games fault in that regard.
I've played through this game so many times and it always seems like I find a new detail each new playthrough. Thank you for keeping the game fresh in peoples minds through videos like these. Playing the pacifist run in this game feels more right than any other.
I have the exact same feeling, every time I play this game there's something new, something I missed and it's great. It's possible that the pacifist run feels right because that is much closer to how things work in the book. The vast majority of time I try to knockout everyone but I always manage somehow to fail at stealth and the firefight starts, which honestly I don't mind, lol.
I honestly would have liked it if at lease some info was presented, I find it kind of silly not to be able to know how much ammo you have. On Ranger Hardcore you can run out of ammo so quickly and it would be nice to know when I find a weapon somewhere if I should exchange a gun I'm holding and I'm out of ammo for with the new weapon. Plus I always fumbled selecting the grenade I wanted which I found both funny and frustrating.
I did my first playthrough on S+RH in 2021, the only problems I had was finding interactable objects and guaging if i was close enough to enemies to do takedowns which led to some frustrating situations.
@@Emotional_Support_Twink I go so used to the takedown mechanic that, when I played spartan ranger hardcore, I didn't have any problems. However I did have issues with interaction part! I missed quite a lot of stuff because I forgot it was there and there was nothing to indicate that I can interact with it.
@@boinqity4621 I never though to check the notebook. I never brought that thing up since I knew the direction in which I had to go and the objectives, so I didn't see any sense in looking at it.
Here are a few differences from the original game: - Most weapons that aren't homemade have a more close design to their real life counterparts (AK's don't look like they have been made in the metro but have been scavenged from the surface.) - Almost all main character design and models were much simpler, and a few, like Miller and Ulhman received complete overhauls to look like they do in 2034. - Faction uniforms were completely different. The Rangers weren't uniformed and used standard outfits that you encountered most station guards using. The Communists used standard equipment too, the exception being their officers. And the Reich troops used a much more stereotyped uniform that made them look like german troops from WW2 (Most obvious being their german style helmets). - The frontline railcar chase was a bit shorter, you never stopped in any of the Reich's stations for a shootout with the guards, you stormed past them while being pursued and shot at from the guards stationed there. - The way to the library in the surface was a bit shorter aswell, without the mutant horde you fight in the front. You merely platform a bit and meet with Miller and the other guy in front of the building. - The spiders didn't exist in the D6 part, instead it was plate armored nosalises that were either invincible or very hard to kill. That's what I remember from way back then, haven't played the original in ages since you can't acces it easily nowdays, but I certainly agree that it is a somewhat different feel to the Redux.
Originally is way better I personally very much prefer the art style of the old game compared to the “real” look the 2 newer games have. I would love to see what would have happened if it stayed the same for the next two
Ranger Hardcore (with survival if in redux) is the definitive experience for 2033 and Last Light. The resource scarcity helps set tone and immersion in a big way.
Survival Ranger Hardcore, that sounds like a hell of a challenge. I can 100% see how that could be fun but I just like action to much to pass on it, lol.
Im gonna disagree with you there, I played and finished the entire franchise multiple times (yes in ranger hardcore aswell) and the enemy AI is just not advanced enough to justify it. You see the games color palette and the enemy NPC models blend in extremely well (not a bad thing on its own), couple this with the pinpoint accuracy of enemies with automatic rifles and you'll have to kiss firefights goodbye in most fights. Stealth all the way! the alternative is an exercise in futility for new players, and just outright fukken boring for veterans (i was at one point the former aswell). From my lengthy experience with this franchise I'd recommend survival hardcore at most, spartan hardcore atleast, anything less and its too piss easy with stealth hoarding and anything more feels like playing a janky stalker total conversion mod where a bandit armed with a 12 gauge can penetrate an exoskeleton.
For your channel, you genuinely need more views and support, this was great work. Also I remember reading the book (2033) after I played the game and I thought that khan's whole naming thing and lore behind it was a bit goofy. I think overall I like both the book series and games pretty equally, strong in there own differing ways.
Thank you so much! When I read the first book I thought that given the type of world we're dealing with sure I can believe in the reincarnation aspect and I will even go along with the idea that a reincarnated person knows their past lives and everything else. However I did have one question I couldn't find an answer for, namely what exactly is Genghis Khan doing in Moscow? Maybe it was explained more in the other books, but I unfortunately haven't gotten around to reading them. I absolutely agree with the fact that the books and the games are good in different ways. One of the reasons why I didn't want to talk a lot about the Metro 2033 book is because the book is focused more on the world and characters as opposed to the game that, as a game should, is focused on video game mechanics, action, shooting, stealth etc.
I love the metro series, both games and books. It's been a while since I last did a ranger hardcore playthrough, but I thought you could see your ammo if you pull out your notebook, unless that's the second game. Also, I know they're called morality points, but I think of them more as life experience points. Throughout the series you can get some points by doing things like having drinks, smoking hookah, or just listening to conversations.
Hmmm, it's possible that the ammo count is on the notebook however since I know the maps and objectives pretty well I almost never pull it up and even when I do it's by accident, lol. That's a great way of looking at it, life experience points, and that would explain why you get points from doing things just as the ones you mentioned.
BTW you can check your inventory on ranger hardcore, you just have to equip your notebook first, pull it out and when you press the button to check inventory you’ll raise the book up and the hud will return
It's a good review and the game is a nice time killer if you just wanna switch up your games for a week or 2. The books are a joy to read with a lot more crazy stuff in em like cults and psychic humans. What made me fall in love with the game was indeed the atmosphere of Dead City level. Game shines with it's underground levels, but that sprinkle of the surface is a treat.
Thank you! There's so much cool stuff happening on the surface, I really meant it when I said that it feels like every couple of meters something happens. The Dead City is a great level, I prefer Ghosts because I really like Khan... and ghosts.
Wow this video was great! I very much look forward to you covering last light, I just wish you'd talk more about the endings and their moral implications a bit more. Love your style!
Thank you, thank you so much! Both Last Light and Exodus are on the "to do" list. I'm always a bit reticent to cover a narrative focused games endings as I kind of feel like I'm peeling back the curtain a bit too much, especially with a game like Metro 2033, where there are some pretty heavy implications.
@GamesfromthePast-Reviews I don't disagree. I guess for me, despite the moral point system, the endings is what makes it all worth it. It provides the deepest moments of introspection that is communicated beautifully through the game, despite the flaws in gameplay. It's also crippling to get the bad ending in 2033, not know it's the bad ending, go on to last light, and suddenly the full weight of your lack of awareness hit you at once. Hunter's quote at the beginning, "If it's hostile, kill it" never left my mind, so that's what I did. I never heard Khan tell me to act more than without hesitation or doubt. Either way, subbed, your videos are of great quality, and good luck with RUclips! I'll be lurking lol
@@justaguyyouknow7139 I'm glad to have you lurking lol! That is the same thing that happened to me. I followed Hunter's instructions and completely ignored Khan, then I started playing Last Light and realized what the consequences where. I see your point though, it's something I'll have to think about when covering these types of games.
The original 2033 didn’t have a knock out move at all and you didn’t have the golden triangle. The original feels pretty unique still and I think is still worth playing even though redux has more quality of life updates.
I haven't played the original and I think it's unavailable for purchase now. I did however read that there were quite a lot of changes made with the Redux version of the game.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviews Huh, when I bought the game on steam, digitally, I got both redux and original as an option to play. Same with Last light. So I think it's still possible to play and compare the two.
@@shcdemolisher I checked my Steam account and I don't have either the original 2033 or Last Light, I only have the Redux versions. I also looked on the Steam store and the originals are not longer listed. I think it's a matter of when the game was purchased. If you're a late adopter like I am the originals might not be accessible. Unless there's a separate launcher in the game folder but I don't have the game installed in order to check that😆.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviews No when I boot up the game on the steam window, a pop up asks me if I want to play either Redux or original. I bought it a couple years ago since it said in the bundle that it would have the originals packaged with the redux.
@@shcdemolisher That's interesting because I don't get that prompt to choose which version to play. I bought the Redux versions quite some time ago, I can't remember exactly when but I think it was the first major sale after Last Light appeared.
i didn't really care much about khans name, because there's about 50 different ethnicities living in russia, different kinds of turk folks, slavics and east asians among them, also mongols iirc, so it was never strange to me.
Oh yeah, there are a lot of different groups living in Russia and a part of me always thought that given this fact, it's probable that someone in Moscow is named Khan. At the same time, up until meeting him, characters whose names we know are what I would think of as typical Russian names, Alex, Petr, Boris. In a way the name Khan helps the character stand out of the crowd, just as well as his knowledge does.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviews in metro exodus there is an american character, if you play the game with russian language and subtitles, you can hear him speak russian with an english accent. that's the only obviously non-russian character i'm aware of. but i agree, Khan is special. you can also see from his facial features that he must be from the far eastern region.
never knew there was a good end as i stealth killed almost every human, i'll have to try out a guns a blazin run for sure though, thanks for remindin me of this game dude
I'm glad that game after such a long time reached west part, I am Russian myself and it was more appealing to people of slavic blood so far. Game is truly a masterpiece, I completed all trilogy and it is just amazing. 4A games made a game where you feel all the dread, atmosphere, characters...Even if game is pretty much linear, you forget it is as you can get forgotten in various interesting stories given by NPCs. It's masterpiece that is great even after so many years that it would be worth to call classic in not so long future
I completely agree that 4A made a phenomenal game! In my eyes it already is a classic and a staple of the nuclear post apocalyptic genre. I'm pretty sure both the games and the books have been a commercial success in the West for some time now.
One thing that bugs me about Redux is all the Gucci gear everyone has now, why do all the Nazis look like they came sight out of Wolfenstein, and why does Kahn now look like he collects crystals. Honestly it used to be more pleasurable, everyone was wearing gear that looked salvaged.
Really good point. I can imagine that they wanted to make the Nazis more intimidating and unique, compared to other factions, however they do end up looking like the newer Wolfenstein Nazis. I don't know why, I love the idea of Khan just going around collecting crystals, it's just so funny.
Thanks for this; I've played the original quite a few times and still could not tell you anything about the plot. And it's not like I just forgot, I don't think I had ever paid attention in the first place, too busy playing the game!
Why are comments disabled on the Will Rock review (btw that game sucked back then and its beyond terrible now) Redux Metro its way weaker then the Original one , its way too bright at moments and at other times its way too dark for no reason , the AI it downgraded in redux , the stealth was very Very realistic and hard in the original
Oh my God! Thank you for pointing out that comments where disabled, I don't know what happened there, I must have made a mistake when checking the settings. Will Rock has a couple of fun moments but it gets old really fast. I've had so many people say that they liked the Original Metro that I'm thinking about tracking down a copy.
I think of them as humanity points rather than morality. You can get them from some simple things like playing music. So it's some attempt to stay human and not turn into a monster, a literal or figurative one like a lot of the rather evil characters you meet in your journey. A monster can't be reasoned with and would probably murder the Other ones, meaning they would get the bad ending. As for the stealth I'm a bit torn. The original was unforgivable but with the Last Light/Redux AI, it's a bit too easy. Sometimes the AI is dowright stupid.
That is a great way of looking at the morality point! I haven't played the original but I have read that the stealth wasn't great. I guess it's a matter of taste but I would rather have weaker enemies then bad stealth. Games that have bad stealth mechanics can be infuriating.
I want the metro 2033 original 2010 version but its not available on steam anymore and most of the pirating websites are full of viruses, anyone have an idea how i can get my hands on one?
I checked on GoG and a couple of abandonware sites and I couldn't find the original version. Keep an eye on Amazon or similar sites and maybe it will become available there. Sorry.
I personally loved Metro series (as in games, sadly i havent read the books). But even though I loved Metro 2033, unlike 2034, I couldnt bring myself to replay it. Oh an one importaint thing, Russian dub makes the game much more immersive and fun. Altough i can understand issues of non slavic players to understand even the slightest of russian language.
@@reiyo2644My native language is Romanian and while it does have a fair number of Slavic words, I can't understand anything in Russian. The Russian dub still is a great and interesting experience even not knowing the language.
I think it's called Hellbreath and I honestly never thought of to try it out. I just wanted something big, like the shotguns, to fight the big scary monsters, lol.
@@giovannicervantes2053 I love that weapon! A full auto, high fire rate shotgun, it's perfect Too bad it goes through ammo terrifyingly quick, but still one of my favorites.
I have completed the game over 20 times and never once get bored
I don't think I finished the game that many times but same here. I still enjoy every second of it.
This is good to hear, I've finished it 2 times now and I still love it and want to play it. I can still challenge myself tho, I haven't played it on the hardest mode yet. Ahhh why is this game so goooood 😂
I just finished Metro Redux yesterday! Thanks algorithm! The atmosphere of this game is something else and still evocative years later. Great video!
I guess I should also thank the algorithm, so thanks RUclips, but more importantly thank YOU (not shouting, just emphasizing lol) very much!
I haven't played all the post-apocalyptic games out there but Metro 2033 is my benchmark when it comes to atmosphere in theses types of games, it's perfect.
Loved how in depth your video is. You touched on every little bit of the game not skipping a single thing. Can’t wait for the next!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I try to look at as much of a game as I can.
The original 2010 version of 2033 has none of the issues with the UI and it's arguably the better version of the two. It's much more of a passion project and has far less publisher meddling affecting it. You would be trading some of the expanded worldbuilding for it, though, but it's worth it in my opinion.

My pleasure! A more "peaceful" run every now and again can be a good change of pace. Have fun!
I'm glad that game after such a long time reached west part, I am Russian myself and it was more appealing to people of slavic blood so far. Game is truly a masterpiece, I completed all trilogy and it is just amazing. 4A games made a game where you feel all the dread, atmosphere, characters...Even if game is pretty much linear, you forget it is as you can get forgotten in various interesting stories given by NPCs. It's masterpiece that is great even after so many years that it would be worth to call classic in not so long future
I completely agree that 4A made a phenomenal game! In my eyes it already is a classic and a staple of the nuclear post apocalyptic genre.
I'm pretty sure both the games and the books have been a commercial success in the West for some time now.
after rewatching this i realized i didn't even notice the glowing floating marx head the first time lol
Haha nice! Well, the nazi soldier was saying "say a prayer to Marx".
One thing that bugs me about Redux is all the Gucci gear everyone has now, why do all the Nazis look like they came sight out of Wolfenstein, and why does Kahn now look like he collects crystals. Honestly it used to be more pleasurable, everyone was wearing gear that looked salvaged.
Really good point. I can imagine that they wanted to make the Nazis more intimidating and unique, compared to other factions, however they do end up looking like the newer Wolfenstein Nazis. I don't know why, I love the idea of Khan just going around collecting crystals, it's just so funny.
The karma system is as much about exploration as it is what the game considers moral acts.
Indeed it is and it's such a great way to incentivize exploration.
Thanks for this; I've played the original quite a few times and still could not tell you anything about the plot. And it's not like I just forgot, I don't think I had ever paid attention in the first place, too busy playing the game!
My pleasure. The gameplay is captivating, there's always something going on.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. It's just so good!
It absolutely is a great game!
Why are comments disabled on the Will Rock review (btw that game sucked back then and its beyond terrible now)
Redux Metro its way weaker then the Original one , its way too bright at moments and at other times its way too dark for no reason , the AI it downgraded in redux , the stealth was very Very realistic and hard in the original
Oh my God! Thank you for pointing out that comments where disabled, I don't know what happened there, I must have made a mistake when checking the settings.
Will Rock has a couple of fun moments but it gets old really fast.
I've had so many people say that they liked the Original Metro that I'm thinking about tracking down a copy.
So are you playing Last Light next?
I plan on making videos on the whole series but I don't exactly know when I'll get to the next games.
Well shit, I guess I'm doing another playthrough of the Metro games again
Have fun!
Good stuff!
Thank you!
I think of them as humanity points rather than morality. You can get them from some simple things like playing music. So it's some attempt to stay human and not turn into a monster, a literal or figurative one like a lot of the rather evil characters you meet in your journey. A monster can't be reasoned with and would probably murder the Other ones, meaning they would get the bad ending.
As for the stealth I'm a bit torn. The original was unforgivable but with the Last Light/Redux AI, it's a bit too easy. Sometimes the AI is dowright stupid.
That is a great way of looking at the morality point!
I haven't played the original but I have read that the stealth wasn't great. I guess it's a matter of taste but I would rather have weaker enemies then bad stealth. Games that have bad stealth mechanics can be infuriating.
I want the metro 2033 original 2010 version but its not available on steam anymore and most of the pirating websites are full of viruses, anyone have an idea how i can get my hands on one?
I checked on GoG and a couple of abandonware sites and I couldn't find the original version. Keep an eye on Amazon or similar sites and maybe it will become available there. Sorry.
I personally loved Metro series (as in games, sadly i havent read the books). But even though I loved Metro 2033, unlike 2034, I couldnt bring myself to replay it. Oh an one importaint thing, Russian dub makes the game much more immersive and fun. Altough i can understand issues of non slavic players to understand even the slightest of russian language.
Ohhh yeah the Russian dub makes the game a lot more immersive, but since I don't don't speak Russian, for me English was the clear choice.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviews I don't either, I speak czech but since both are slavic languages, they do have few words in common.
@@reiyo2644My native language is Romanian and while it does have a fair number of Slavic words, I can't understand anything in Russian. The Russian dub still is a great and interesting experience even not knowing the language.
I forget its name, but there is a railgun weapon in the game that makes mince meat of librarians
I think it's called Hellbreath and I honestly never thought of to try it out. I just wanted something big, like the shotguns, to fight the big scary monsters, lol.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviewsi had some issues getting used to the hellbreath so i used an azbats shotgun cause who doesn't like a dshk 12x70
@@giovannicervantes2053 I love that weapon! A full auto, high fire rate shotgun, it's perfect Too bad it goes through ammo terrifyingly quick, but still one of my favorites.
@@GamesfromthePast-Reviews i didn't understand why they added a burst fire of it since you can semi auto fire it pretty quickly
@@giovannicervantes2053 I have no idea why they did it but I like it lol.
I like this game
So do I.
Redux are no match for original metro 2033, I play all metro game on ranger haardcore except exodus, My pc is potato.
Ranger Hardcore is a fun difficulty.
ГОЙДА!
