Metro Redux brings together two of the most brutally immersive post-apocalyptic shooters ever made, remastered and rebuilt for PlayStation 4. Originally released in 2014 and developed by 4A Games, this package includes both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, throwing you into a claustrophobic underground nightmare where survival isn’t guaranteed and ammo is basically your second form of currency.

Set in the ruins of Moscow after nuclear devastation, you play as Artyom, navigating dark metro tunnels filled with mutants, hostile survivors, and enough tension to make you question every step forward. This isn’t your typical run-and-gun shooter—Metro Redux leans hard into survival mechanics, forcing you to manage gas mask filters, conserve bullets, and decide whether stealth or chaos is your best option. Spoiler: neither goes smoothly.

The Redux version rebuilds both games using the improved engine from Metro: Last Light, delivering better lighting, upgraded AI, and smoother gameplay while keeping the oppressive atmosphere that made the originals hit so hard. It’s gritty, unforgiving, and doesn’t care about your feelings when you run out of filters mid-mission.

If you’re looking to buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, Metro Redux is that perfect mix of story-driven immersion and old-school difficulty that refuses to hold your hand. It’s not here to be fair—it’s here to test you.

1. The gas mask system isn’t just a gimmick—filters run in real time, and cracked masks will absolutely ruin your day mid-level
2. Ammo doubles as currency, meaning every shot fired feels like you’re literally spending money
3. Light and shadow directly impact stealth, with enemies reacting dynamically to visibility and sound
4. Two distinct playstyles: stealth-focused survival or aggressive combat, both equally stressful
5. Multiple endings based on subtle moral choices that the game never clearly explains (good luck figuring it out)
6. Ranger Mode strips away HUD elements and makes the game brutally realistic for players who enjoy suffering
