* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the original game is no slouch on the graphical front, ''Redux'' uses the new 4A engine, and it look ''gorgeous.''

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: The Abzats using heavy machinegun barrels converted for shotgun use has real life precedence in Russia. The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KS-23 KS-23]] shotgun makes use of barrels intended for 23mm AA guns with minor manufacturing flaws. It is pump-action instead of automatic, though.

** In 2014, eastern Ukraine descended into civil war, which is probably one reason why the ''Metro'' franchise was temporarily put on hold after the release of ''Last Light.'' One aspect of this civil war [[LifeImitatesArt is that]] [[https://news.vice.com/article/how-ukraines-war-became-big-business-for-the-underworld bullets are now being used as currency]] in the separatist regions.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The game is vastly more available and well known than the book, at least outside the former Eastern Block. Some Steam versions of the game actually try to avert this by including digital copies of the novels.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The children in the English dub are [[VocalDissonance clearly]] voiced [[DawsonCasting by adults]]. This probably wouldn't be bad if not for the fact that the photorealism of the designs and the actors' poor attempts at sounding like children badly clash against each other.

Added DiffLines:

* RemadeAndImproved: The ''Redux'' version of the game, which is essentially a complete remake of the original using the improved engine, gameplay, and graphics of ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'', is far better received overall by both fans and critics. It helps that the clunky controls and bugs present in the original have since been removed, many of the game's levels have been expanded upon and streamlined, and all of the [=NPCs=] have unique looks now from either using their ''Last Light'' models (for characters who appeared in both ''2033'' and ''Last light'') or newly created models entirely, thus averting OnlySixFaces.

** The fine print on the anvil says : "War and nukes are BAD."
** Another anvil more particular to Artyom's own story: [[spoiler: "Don't try to destroy something you don't understand simply because you are afraid of it."]]
** You're stuck in the middle between a war of Nazis vs Communists and both of them want to kill you as well as each other. "Political extremism and totalitarianism are bad whether it's far left or far right."

Woops, formatting


--> '''Bourbon''': Some call them demons, but I call them bitches.
*** It is actually more a case of NarmCharm for a native Russian language speaker, at least in the respective dub. In Russian, Bourbon calls them суки; (Suki), which means "bitches". Сука (Suka) is the singular.

That's not how Russian works; I always read it as "tsyka" instead which isn't how it's pronounced at all lol

* ThatOneLevel: The Library. There's a part where you're on a fetch quest, your enemies are Librarians, and there's no real sense of where to go because you may end up backtracking to the beginning of the section. Also, hoped you decided to stock up on ammo, because Librarians eat bullets like candy if you accidentally piss them off. Also, the entire level takes place outdoors, so if you didn't stock up on filters, it's a TimedMission.

* ThatOneLevel: ThatOneLevel:
** Front Line: Some unexpected platforming, and inconsistent autosaving means that when you die, you may or may not go back a long way.
** Trolley Combat. There is a stage where the path is blocked, and you have to shoot enemies off to one side until your railcar blows up for no obvious reason. The solution seems to be to restart the level and hope that it doesn't happen again.
