Metro 2033 News

Free deal makes classic FPS Metro 2033 explode on Steam, and it's still cheap

Metro 2033 Redux is having a birthday to remember. Marking 15 years of the apocalyptic survival FPS series, developer 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver gave away copies of the original game's remastered edition, and it's had a surprisingly big impact. Previously peaking at just under 15,000 active players back in 2018, Metro 2033 has just reached a new high of more than 50,000 concurrent users on the Valve platform, and it's looking likely to continue that success for a third day straight as players discover its charm.

Classic post-nuclear shooter Metro 2033 Redux is now free to keep on Steam and GOG

15 years on from the release of Metro 2033, I still think with fondness and yearning of the Uboinik automatic shotgun. It’s a six chamber cylindrical affair with mouthwatering red shells that dangle before your trigger finger like pert, juicy plums. This is just to say / I have shot / the shells / that were in / the shotgun / and which / you were probably / saving / for the mutant round the corner. / Forgive me / they were murderous / so sockety / and so round. Ahem.

Reloading the shotgun is an intricate process of 1) sliding four shells into the available chambers while tossing the weapon jauntily from hand to hand, and then 2) cocking it again to expose and fill the remaining two chambers. You can also chamber a single shell and cock the weapon, if you don’t have time for a full reload, which means when you load another four shells and fire them, there’ll be an empty chamber to reckon with midway through the next burst. That empty chamber has gotten me killed a dozen times, I think.

A free-to-keep PC game is always worth getting hyped about, but when it's an atmospheric, must-play FPS game, my excitement levels go up to a different level. Sharing a similar tone and survival-based focus to the Stalker series, the Metro franchise has produced some sensational shooters, and now the remastered version of the game that started it all, Metro 2033 Redux, is being given away for free.
