So I've played Metro 2033 heaps and love it but is the sequel any good?

Yeah its pretty good, I would get the original version though and not the redux.

what's the difference?

How horror are these games? I'm not really into the genre or games with shit like frequent jumpscares.

More tense than horror
The library was great

i hated those freakin' librarian things or whatever theyre called. so hard to kill

I eventually had to resort to just sprinting through there in terror, because I somehow fucked up the pacifying trick

It's just a very typical FPS game, no survival aspects/limited resources like the original. It's alright.

If you play it on the hardest difficulty ammo is very scarce and you need to spend your currency wisely to get more

Why is this.

I've played the originals not the redux's

I always hear this but nobody lists details as to why the original is better

the rail car and the city of the dead levels were really spooky. i really like how metro depicts the supernatural: mutants created by radiation and ghosts created by the war. the war "broke" the barrier between the world of the living and the dead. it feels so mysterious and scary.

I both appreciate it when people on Sup Forums try to help each other out from personal experience and hate it when they don't elaborate on any of that experience.

I find 2033 better than Last Light. But Last Light is still pretty solid.

2033 has a lot of tense and just plain creepy moments as you run around in abandoned metro's and buildings. It's pretty subtle for the most part, which works really well for the type of game it is.

Last Light is a bit more heavy handed in trying to make things creepy, which worked against it in my opinion.

I own the original Last Light and I was under the impression that all Last Light redux did on PC was add all the DLC and a couple new features.

Metro 2033 and it's Redux is what they may be talking about because they're radically different.

I've never played the Redux versions of either game, but the main complaint I see is how the stealth is changed. Redux make the stealth easier as sight lines are reduced, among other small tweaks, to throwing knives, lighting, and such. Which breaks 2033, because it was obviously not built around the tweaks. Yet works well with Last Light and improves it.

The main thing I've seen is OG 2033 is best
Redux Last Light is best.

But then again, I'm only going on what rando's online have said.

Gotcha. I have Last Light Redux on PS3 (never finished it) when it was the free game, but wasn't sure if it would be worth it to buy it again on PC

Eh, I'd just try for the PS3 version again. If you don't enjoy it because of the controls then maybe get the PC ver. If you don't enjoy if for other reasons then nah, PC ver. Would just be a waste of money.

If you haven't played it however, I'd give 2033 a shot. I played the original on the 360 and loved it. While Last Light was pretty meh.

I personally hated Last Light as it removed/changed everything I loved about the first, but idk to each your own I guess

I own the original and Redux versions of 2033, and redux last light. There's a noticeably difference between regular 2033 and redux 2033 but my understanding was that last light / last light redux was not as significant of a change.

I thought the game was pretty good and didn't mind the controls, but usually I prefer using my PC over consoles. I was gonna buy it during the steam winter sale, but just spent money on games I didn't already own

if your PC is decent you should play it on PC again, or even PS4 or Xbone if you have either of those platforms. I played Last Light on PS3 due to PS+ and I actually own the redux for Bone, PS4, and PC. There's a massive difference in playability between the PS3 version and the redux releases. We're talking like 25fps on PS3 vs 60 on PS4, Xbone, and PC. Plus the visuals are much better on the newer consoles and PC since you're going from sub-720p to 912p, 1080p, or whatever you can run it at on PC.
