The latest announcement of a brand new entry within the Metro franchise, the VR recreation Metro Awakening, means there’s by no means been a greater cause to revisit the energetic environs of the Russian mass transit system. Proper now, you may decide up the Metro franchise bundle — which options Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Final Mild Redux, Metro Exodus, and all of their corresponding DLC — for simply $9.51 at GOG (was $59.47). In the event you missed your likelihood to select up any of those titles impressed by Dmitry Glukhovsky’s grim, post-apocalyptic novels once they had been briefly made accessible free of charge, you received’t need to sleep on this deal.
The Metro franchise presents a far bleaker model of the post-apocalypse than the comparatively whimsical Fallout universe. As a substitute of buying and selling with bottlecaps, you utilize bullets as your forex; 50’s-era swing music is changed with sobbing widows; and as an alternative of outsized molerats taking on the native grocer, you’ll should cope with literal demons. It’s an appropriately grim tackle how society may adapt to residing underground, and whereas the voice performing for all of those titles is strong, I extremely suggest taking part in them of their native Russian dialect for added immersion.
Nevertheless, if you have already got any of those titles sitting in your backlog, every entry within the Metro franchise can also be accessible piecemeal for its lowest value ever, along with the post-launch DLC for Metro Exodus.
