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
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in March 2026. 97 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. 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. It becomes a BANGER at $8.61, a level the record has reached 92 times.
On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Metro Exodus ($29.99, scores 67) and CONVRGENCE ($14.99, scores 48).
The press gave it 76; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. A 15-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Steam's global achievement data puts 32 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. 6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 608 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 3,167 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
To be honest, the game is even worse than the first instalment. Even more pointless rambling in front of locked doors. Even more playing time spent simply waiting for some NPC to finish their monologue and unlock the door or press some button so you can carry on. I also found the shooter gameplay absolutely dreadful. You barely notice any hit feedback, the enemies are all the same, and the enemy AI is abysmal. The...

Metro: Last Light 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/287390/metro-last-light-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 12, price as of Sep 24.
