In the original Artyom had gloves, in the Redux he doesn't. RIP hands 2cold4me

I'm kind of at a loss to be honest. The original's atmosphere was more bleak (making it more appropriate) but I find that the surface sections in redux created this unique contrast between beauty and desolation.

It's odd how it's so inconsistent. Some parts look loads better but other parts look significantly worse. Lighting in particular was much better in the original, but some textures and models are better in Redux.

The graphical improvements are very minor. And in some places the original looks even better. The point of the Redux version was to optimize the game. Because the original one was very poorly optimized. And it was hard to run even with the most powerful GPU's at it's time.

redux has much better graphics, but doesn't have that atmosphere like in original.
Original has fucking creepy atmosphere :o

[prietovich]

Not only the atmosphere was lost but also several animations and functions of the original that I would have liked to see in the Redux, it is as if they had transformed the survival of the original Metro for more mechanics of a call of duty

The og is free on steam till the 15th, go decide for yourselves.

[doggoonxbox]

both of these versions of the game are absolutely amazing

[fluffyman]

Its very simple:

Original = Much better atmosphere, scary and depressing.
Redux = Slightly more eye candy, better weapon damage and better ki.

I will go with the original since i want to experience the dense atmosphere, already read the book a few years ago.

[minihalkoja]

They should have made Metro: 2033 Redux with LL graphics, but with the same atmosphere and lighting from the original.

[russel]

While I appreciate all the work that went into Redux I find myself loving the original far more.

[orangypteco]

It triggers me so much that Artyom lacks his tattered gloves at the beginning of Metro 2033 redux.

[Globbified]

Payday 2 needs a redux, so they can fix fucking everything

[SuperFaceStomp]

Why did they change the humans so much. And why make the iris so pronounced., ., ., ., fnggg

[hushamfusion]

Honestly, it feels like you're watching 2 different games based on the same scenario. They both do the job very greatly, and sometimes I feel like even if the original looked a lot better in certain aspects, that just makes it more cozy, and takes away from the uncomfortable atmosphere of the game. Although to compensate for that, the outside seemed to be way more dark, in a way contrasting it.

[FirebonE_]

The original looks darker, scarier and much more desolate, like it really should be. The redux version's ambiance looks almost cosy, at times. Also, I find the mutants much more terrifying in the original, especially nosalises and demons. For instance, when that nosalis lands on the train cart, it looks a lot scarier in the original.

What makes metro so awesome is the level design, the environment, and how they made the metro look, feel, and sound like the factions also feel like they fit the environment very well but overall the level design and the environment are probably my favorites

[mastertochi]

I always love the original since it was the first metro i got that got me into the books as well. The first felt a lot like how the books described the metro, dark and everyone living like rats.
