In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the Earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age. The year is 2033.
What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 97 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.76. The record reaches that level 92 times.
Value puts it in the top 13 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Metro Exodus ($29.99, scores 67) and DOOM Eternal ($29.99, scores 64).
Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 580 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 5,760 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 9.1 hours; clearing it takes 24, which is 2.6 times the campaign.
It came out 12 years ago and 1.2K were still playing it at the last check.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
Metro 2033 Redux was my first introduction to the Metro franchise and honestly, it was confusing. The game throws you into a post-apocalyptic Moscow with barely any explanation and expects you to understand the different references, mutants, the Dark Ones, psychic visions and whatever the ♥♥♥♥ is going on with Artyom The atmosphere is also really good. The underground sections are dark, claustrophobic and genuinely...
Story is interesting, I can say our character is very lucky, some of the cutscenes are kinda silly. I had many times where I got no text when it isnt by important people, also found out 6 hours in I can charge my flashlight.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Metro 2033 Redux scores 71/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/286690/metro-2033-reduxThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 10, price as of Sep 24.
