Before buying Metro 2033: Redux (PC) you probably want to know what is the difference between Redux and the original version of Metro 2033. Within the context of a plot, we still are playing the same FPS game based on a novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky. You play the role of a protagonist a young man known as Artyom. Artyom is living in the post-apocalyptic Russia in the year 2033. After the apocalypse, Earth is basically inhabitable and survivors are living in the Moscow's metro system. There are currently 40 000 people living in the metro system but the place cannot be considered, a safe heaven. People are dying, suffering from shortage of food and water but it is far from the worse thing that happened. There is a new species of mutants known as the Dark Ones. They were able to find the entrance to the metro and started to attack humans. Artyom with a few other Rangers have to go on the surface in order to find a way to protect their people. The game was changed though in the context of both mechanics and gameplay itself. The entire Metro 2033 was rebuild with the use of the Metro: Last Light engine. In other words, both games look the same and mechanics which you might know from the Last Light are now available in the Metro 2033. For example you are able to wipe your mask. Weapon customization is finally available in Metro 2033, as well as silent takedowns.
