It’s on giveaway on Steam too: https://store.steampowered.com/app/286690/Metro_2033_Redux/
I’ll wait and pay $90 for the Switch 2 version.
It’s probably also the original version, not the redux.
Its the redux version on steam
The Redux upgrade is available for $20 or with an active Switch 2 Online Membership*.
*Additional charges may apply; dedicated servers not included
Great game. Basically a linear, cinematic corridor shooter with some cool lore and some great levels. The library level was an absolute highlight.
Definitely recommend it, especially as a free game.
I enjoyed nearly everything about this game but really disliked how bullet spongey the enemies are, especially on high difficulties. It kept me from enjoying the gameplay and bounced me from the whole series, honestly
Edit: After reading replies, I must have been playing on a lower difficulty. This has inspired me to return to the series and play on a higher setting - thanks to everyone that clarified
I played 2033 and Last Light on Ranger Hardcore and didn’t really feel the bullet sponge issue, at least in 2033 (haven’t played Exodus yet). There are some tanky enemies but I think they’re mostly meant to be avoided rather than fought.
Also I’m pretty sure on higher difficulties both you and the enemies deal more damage so while you die easier there are also fewer bullet sponges. If anything I think the bullet sponge phenomenon occurs on Easy, bizarrely enough. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Uh, enemies are actually less bullet spongey on high difficulties, just like the player. Some humans have armor that you have to either spend bullets shooting off or shoot around by aiming at unarmored portions, but enemies typically go down really quick.
Wow, I didn’t realize. I must’ve been playing on a lower difficulty than I remember. Thanks for clarifying
I feel like I’ve been slowly building a free collection of Metro games on all platforms for a decade now.
Someday I’ll play one.
You should, they are great.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy (after applying community bugfix mods) is better; with ZRP, Shadow of Chernobyl was bug-free except for the ending.
Then again, I played the original biggest known as Metro 2033, not the Redux ver. I still think there is more interesting stuff in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., though, overall. The environment is incredible in its natural, unscripted interactions and not… manufactured.
It’s a different game though, inventory, open world. Metro is a decent fps on rails.
Sure, but I’m still talking about overall bugs, quality, and presentation.
If you like the story, read the book(s)!
Um, that’s pretty awesome!
😮
On Steam as well
Looks like GOG servers are struggling at the moment. Claiming the game isn’t working right now.
this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.
Well, looks like 4A is prepping to announce Metro 4.
I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.
You have to go specifically to the giveaway section.
There’s a box on the home page for the giveaway, but when I clicked it I got “something went wrong”, but as Shimon pointed out, it’s free on Steam too, so I nabbed it there.
its on steam as well if you want to do it that way.
I can’t grab it either. It keeps telling me to log in when I’m already logged in.
Fantastic game, recommend all their Metro games.

Is this like a remake/remaster of the OG 2033 or its own game?
It’s a remaster of 2033 with a bunch of tweaks to mechanics and improved visuals.
redux is a synonym of remake and remaster.
2033??? It’s only 2025!!!
THIS GAME IS FROM THE FUTURE???
/j
nice one 👌
Great game.
How many of you got ripped off by the redhead, though?
