Redux and last light were great. Awesome short ish stories that capture a unique vibe. The shooting is really good too. I still have yet to try Exodus due to issues running the game. but maybe I’ll try again.

Is this like a remake/remaster of the OG 2033 or its own game?
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a remaster of 2033 with a bunch of tweaks to mechanics and improved visuals.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 months ago
2033??? It’s only 2025!!!
THIS GAME IS FROM THE FUTURE???

redux is a synonym of remake and remaster.
ekZepp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
nice one 👌
samus12345@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’ll wait and pay $90 for the Switch 2 version.
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
It’s probably also the original version, not the redux.
CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Its the redux version on steam

Thanks for the info! 👍🏻

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.
pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

Well, looks like 4A is prepping to announce Metro 4.

Um, that’s pretty awesome!

Looks like GOG servers are struggling at the moment. Claiming the game isn’t working at right now.
hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
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.

On Steam as well

I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.
eatCasserole@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I can’t grab it either. It keeps telling me to log in when I’m already logged in.
30p87@feddit.org 11 months ago
Gog seems to have massive issues rn, I was able to log in but can’t change any settings now. I always get an error page. Downdetector also displays 34/43 reports.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You have to go specifically to the giveaway section.

If you like the story, read the book(s)!
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 months ago
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.
bluespin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 months ago
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.

How many of you got ripped off by the redhead, though?
