Maps were shown in a completely different light in a brand new lighting engine. Metro 2033 Redux ported the game to a whole new engine. However, you aren’t going to get much more than that, and that’s the biggest problem I have with the game. Textures are updated and models are slightly changed. Metro: Last Light Redux does look different from the original release of Last Light. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. With this positive experience under my belt, I dove into Metro: Last Light Redux, expecting the same amount of incredible dedication to making the game feel new and different. It currently is contending for best remake of the year, and it’s likely going to win.
The options, the graphics, the weapons, and more made it feel like an entirely new game. Metro 2033 Redux absolutely blew me away with its presentation.
