Metro 2033 Redux is a game with a fantastic setting and world, which creates an unmatched horror atmosphere in shooters. However, it is noticeable that the first game of the trilogy lacks a clear path, and its quality is rather mediocre when compared to its successors. The game tries hard to be like F.E.A.R., with its dark corridors, ghostly apparitions, and sudden visions in long hallways, forcing you to flee from something. The inspiration is clear, but what's cool is that you can approach many combat encounters stealthily, which takes some time, but it makes you feel pretty cool. The world is the actual star of the game, with its bombed-out Moscow, abandoned ruins on the surface, and shantytowns underground in the titular Metro, with the crowded survivors seemingly going about their daily lives. The game is atmospheric, even though some of the dialogue with Russian dialects feels a bit cringe. Some characters also behave illogically, like Sasha, a little boy whose uncle has just died. Without knowing me, he just goes off with a stranger and seems happy instead of mourning his uncle's death. When not sneaking, you shoot monsters and people with up to three weapons. The weapons are standard, but the game has a twist: ammunition is the currency to buy items and weapons. It's pretty cool, but managing ammo on normal difficulty is never really essential, but that changes on higher settings. You travel from station to station, from railway station to railway station, through dark atmospheric corridors, to reach the end. The ending is rushed, but bombastic, and it basically leads into the second part, which takes things up a notch. The journey through the Moscow Metro is still good, although it is just the beginning.
