The DLC is of a lower quality, with more bugs and poorly balanced difficulty. While FarCr圓 stealth was also unrealistic and repetitive, it was at least much more fluid and dynamic. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly. You observe the AI's repeating patrol patterns, sneak past when an opening appears, then, when the path seems blocked, a scripted event or interactive item lets you sneak past again. This was probably done to make a stealth approach easy enough for the average console gamer.

Today’s Epic Games Store freebie is 4A Games’ post-apocalyptic FPS, Metro 2033 Redux. The AI is dumbed down with unrealistically poor sight in the dark, laughably poor hearing, and weak search behaviour. Built on the same engine used for Metro: Last Light (2013), this is a complete remaster of the 2010 classic featuring upgraded graphics, new voice acting, user interface changes, new difficulty modes, and much more. There is an increased emphasis on action and repetitive stealth, possibly at the expense of survival and exploration elements. (some of these can be fixed in a config text file). This is not a bad port, but there is still significant consolitis: the usual annoying checkpoint save system, too low FOV, mouse acceleration, unskippable intro video, etc. Some of the voice acting is mediocre, and there were a lot of recycled voices. Even with the tunnel setting, it is more linear and scripted than I would have liked.

Graphics are great, but no better than the first game.
