Spartan Mode in 2033 is totally fine-you’re given more ammo, (presumably) more health, and it generally makes the game a bit easier. I’m not sure Survival Mode really makes sense. The changes are minor at best, such as the way this sign is illuminated in Last Light Redux: Metro: Last Light Metro: Last Light Redux This is SpartaĪs for Spartan and Survival Mode, the gas mask wipe, and the rest of the feature changes in 2033 and Last Light Redux, some are great and some are middling, but nothing felt objectively worse than the original versions. Metro: Last Light Metro: Last Light Redux It’s the smallest change possible, but I was excited to see this version rectify the problem. As an AMD user, the original 2033 confused the hell out of me when I first bought it because Nvidia’s proprietary PhysX technology was (unbeknownst to me) tanking my system. First of all, I rejoiced that 2033 Redux doesn’t default to leaving PhysX on.

Metro 2033, on the other hand, receives a significant boost.

I assume the developers touched up a few things here and there, but Last Light’s only a year old. Both games use Last Light’s engine, so the difference for Last Light Redux is unnoticeable. Each game can be played in either mode, so I played 2033 Redux in Spartan Mode and Last Light Redux in Survival Mode just to see what happened.įirst off: The graphics. I also made use of the game’s new mode selection-you can play each game in “Survival Mode” or “Spartan Mode.” Survival Mode is supposedly more akin to 2033’s survival-horror style pacing, while Spartan Mode emulates Last Light’s run-n-gun action by making the player more durable and doling out more ammo. That being said, I played through the first two hours of each game, and then went back and played through the first forty minutes of the originals to make some comparisons. While I love the Metro series, I have little desire to go back and revisit both games in their entirety, back to back. I didn’t play through the entirety of the Redux versions.
