    Looking to replay 2033, and then play Last Light for the first time. Original or Redux? Original looks more atmospheric. Redux has first-person player shadows. Also other stuff. Does anyone here have feelings on both versions?

      Editing … Redux would probably be better at this point, because the polygons are a little smoother. However, neither looks as bad as Red Faction 1. Again, I don't know how I got that far in that game, because...bleh.

      Editing … ORIGINAL, if only for the much better voice acting. I like the more diegetic UI elements in the original as well. I really hope Metro: Exodus manages to hit the same emotional tenor of the original because Last Light and everything after just haven't felt the same.

      Editing … I love the original Russian voice track, just for the fact it makes everything much more like...a Russian apocalypse? Anyways, it made everything much more real. I thought that the new version would improve everything, though. Bummer.

      Editing … Now I dunno whether to play the Redux or original when I get to Last Light. Or was that answer for both?

      Editing … Do you already own the games or are you buying off the grey market? Because unless you're getting the console version you can't even get the original versions on digital storefronts. Anyway I never finished Last Light or played the redux, but I don't think it's as stark a difference. Only a year passed between Last Light and Redux vs the four that passed between 2033 and Redux, so I'm pretty sure they kept the same VO, and the visual differences are more subtle. Last Light Redux does include all the DLC though, including Ranger mode which was considered a glaring omission from the base game, so that might be the way to go.

      Editing … How weird. I bought the Steam version two or three years ago. And now it disappeared from the storefront. I have it in my downloads though. Hmph.

      Editing … Yep, the original is still available for download for people who bought it before, but everyone else is SOL, just like Dark Souls Remasters, SMH.

      Editing … Ach! I don't get notifications for your posts here. I own every Metro except 2033 Redux. They were all gifts too, lucky me. From direct comparisons, the lighting changes between Last Light Redux and the original are pretty big, again with a loss of atmosphere.

      Editing … I'll play through the originals for now, and then if I replay the series some other day, I'll give the Reduxes a try.
