Critic Reviews
Metro 2033 Redux (Nintendo Switch)
While certainly an interesting game, Metro 2033 won’t be for every first-person shooter fan. However, if you enjoy a more thought provoking, story-driven adventure you’ll most likely enjoy yourself. With all of the game’s DLC included, there’s a good amount of content to keep you busy.
70%Metro: 2033 Redux Review
Metro: 2033 Redux is one of the better single-player first-person action games to come out. It's got some flaws and some questionable pacing choices, most egregiously the oftentimes tedious scripted story sequences that pepper the game to a fault. The core gameplay and mechanics are realised well enough when the game lets the player play around and explore its possibilities. It is no mistake that Metro: 2033 Redux's best chapters are the ones where the player has the most agency over the action. While a scripted sequence isn't a bad idea per say, they are too frequent and too many in Metro: 2033 Redux, which is already not a long game. This game is best described as the companion to Metro: Last Light Redux, where users are better off getting the retail compilation. The amount of visual fidelity and craftsmanship displayed in this game is unparalleled considering the lack of budget and absurd working conditions the crew had to endure during its development. It is a testament to the work of 4A Games and visionary Dmitry Glukhovsky.

Metro 2033 Redux is a top-class first-person shooter/survival horror game, a breathless experience that's been almost flawlessly ported to Switch by 4A Games. Artyom's desperate, haunting voyage through the irradiated remains of Moscow is every bit as engaging today as it was when it first released back in 2010, and this Redux version benefits massively from overhauled AI, gameplay mechanics and visuals. In terms of first-person shooters or survival horror games on Nintendo's console, this is one of the very best.
