Is this a good story driven game?

[himmatsj]

Is Metro LL a good story driven game? Is it engaging in that sense?

Also, would it make sense to get this right away, or is playing 2033 recommended/advised? Will I miss out much by not playing the predecessor?

And another thing, what is the difference between the Redux and Original version of LL? Is it A LOT different visually? Performance wise, is the original OK?

Thanks!

I would play 2033 as it's a good game and good to get to know the universe.
Also it's a very immersive game, story wise and gameplay. Remember to play Ranger mode

I would recommend getting the redux as it gives a graphicly enhanced 2033 as well.

If you have the extra money, you should definitely play 2033 before playing LL. Both of the games are absolutely amazing, and things will just make more sense if you play them in order.

As for the redux thing, as far as I know, all you're really paying for is upgraded graphics and a couple minor bug fixes. The games already looks, and plays great without the Redux version. So, it's up to you on whether to pay extra for that or not

The Metro 2033 Redux worth the money since there're considerable amount of upgrades over the original. As for LL Redux, not so much.

Dont buy 2033 Redux at all, it is a console port and graphics is actually worse lol

Are you sure you're talking about 2033 and not LL? Cuz I'm definitely seeing improvements.

That is what I have been told by my friends who are pixel hunters so I believe them.

Yeah, have you also heard about that Star Citizen. What a console port, I could see a pixel on the dynamic lighting on the reflected mirror of my Constellation !

Both Metro games are driven by story, in fact some people argue it is too chocked by story as it limits free exploration. Playing redux or original 2033/LL will suck you into the bleak, choking atmosphere of the Moscow Metro, seriously the atmosphere is so thick you will wish you were there.

The redux editions are just "HD" remakes of the original games, there is no real need to get them. Preferably one would start at 2033 to understand the story but LL does a passable job of introducting a player into the Moscow Metro.

Thanks for an unwanted heads–up, next time check if I own the games, you will save time for both of us!

Your thing about the Redux isn't true, at least for 2033. It gives over the Graphics of LL into 2033 sure, but it also adds the gameplay off it. Using the lighter to burn down the webs as example. It adds the Stealth takedowns and also edits some levels and adds new ones.

You actually do miss out on a good amount of gameplay and story by not getting Metro 2033.But that being said,Metro Last Light probably is still playable and you should be able to draw conclusions as to the actions of the last game.Metro LL is pretty story driven and really fun.

Difference between Standard and Redux is in a few cases,cutscenes were added or changed,and the graphics where enhanced along with some scenery being edited as well.Performance Wise,Its barely a little more taxing than its predecessor.

Guys, look at OP's profile. He already bought Metro 2033 Redux, and he's currently playing it. So you can stop posting in this thread now.

[himmatsj]

Yes I just bought it 24 hours ago. This thread was useful, and would still be cause I haven't bought LL.
