Metro 2033 is a 2010 first-person shooter survival horror video game developed by 4A Games and published by THQ. The story is based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel of the same name, where survivors of a nuclear war have taken refuge in the Metro tunnels of Moscow. Players control the silent protagonist Artyom, a man who must save his home station from the dangers lurking within the Metro. In the game, players encounter human and mutant enemies, who can be killed with a variety of firearms. Players must also wear a gas mask to explore areas covered in nuclear radiation, both underground and on the surface.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I still remember that desperate feeling of dread when I played this game for the first time back in the day. It was such an immersive and realistic depiction of a post-apocalyptic world, unlike any I had experienced before. Even though I played only a couple of missions then, that emotion is still in my mind. Now, 15 years later, I finally got to play and complete it. My adult brain is less easily impressed, and I felt only a glimpse of that emotion, though it was bigger and more powerful than any recent AAA game. Writing and story are overall pretty simple, but they are sincere and have а soul. This is more important for me.
Nice game! Great athmosphere and story. This version is more jankier than the redux version of this game but still holds up, it's even more fun. During the game you need to ammo conserve and pick up enough filters for your gas mask so you won't be out of the next time. Creepy metro stations and city and some jump scares will make your game enjoyable. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3707997128 The game can have game breaking bugs but will usually work after a chapter restart.

My personal favorite Metro. I have 100% every version of each game (except VR, I'm working through it) and I genuinely don't get the same feeling this one gives me. It's janky, it feels a bit disjointed, but there's nothing quite like it. It all around feels like a game made from passion. It's a bit old for a review, but I'd definitely suggest it if it looks even a bit interesting. Not to mention this version is unavailable through Steam without going through a 3rd party seller. Obviously, the game runs flawlessly on modern hardware.
