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 vigorous 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). When you missed your likelihood to select up any of those titles impressed by Dmitry Glukhovsky’s grim, post-apocalyptic novels once they have been briefly made accessible totally free, you gained’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 an alternative of buying and selling with bottlecaps, you utilize bullets as your foreign money; 50’s-era swing music is changed with sobbing widows; and as a substitute of outsized molerats taking up the native grocer, you’ll must take care of literal demons. It’s an appropriately grim tackle how society may adapt to dwelling underground, and whereas the voice appearing for all of those titles is stable, I extremely suggest taking part in them of their native Russian dialect for added immersion.
Nonetheless, 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.
