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 motive to revisit the energetic environs of the Russian mass transit system. Proper now, you possibly can choose 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). If you happen to missed your probability to select up any of those titles impressed by Dmitry Glukhovsky’s grim, post-apocalyptic novels after they had been briefly made obtainable at no cost, 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 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 should take care of 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 enjoying 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 obtainable piecemeal for its lowest worth ever, along with the post-launch DLC for Metro Exodus.
