How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“The first five minutes of both games proceed to slay every single one of AAA's worst tendencies one after the other, until only a few stragglers remain, and they don't break the games' affecting, fatalist spell.”

“Metro: Redux is a compilation only recommendable to those who haven't had the whole experience. There are obvious visual improvements, but it doesn't make it worth buying if you already have the games. On the other hand, if you haven't entered Moscow's Metro yet, this is the perfect chance, with the choice to play your way. ”

“All in all, whether you’re new to the franchise or not, the abandoned underground has never looked this inviting.”

“The journey through the Metro is more than worth the price of admission, plus the visuals are great at showcasing the new hardware. I am really looking forward to what 4A Games has in store next.”

“Metro Redux is a good package for those who never played the original games and don't have the possibility to play them on PC.”

“This compilation is about a place. It's a place where you can hear the laughter of children long since dead, and the screams of aircraft passengers moments before their incineration. It's a place where you must fear both the hideous mutants that prowl as well as humankind--and yet it's only with humankind that you might find safety.”

“A solid story, an interesting cast of characters, and two games that make you panic in a good way. It’s worth the price of entry.”

“One of the best remasters so far makes surviving the Russian apocalypse more horrifying than ever, although none of the changes address the games’ more fundamental issues.”

“Getting both [games] in a single, enhanced package is a great way to discover (or rediscover) the Moscow Metro's unconventional charms.”

“Metro Redux gives a real meaning to the word "remastered" and if you didn't buy Metro 2033 or Metro Last Light, you should throw yourself on it. At the opposite from some studios who just upscale their games, 4A Games remade 2033 from the bottom with the engine used in Last Light. With the DLC's, new game modes and a 40€ pricetag, you already should be convinced.”

“Dark, gritty, scary, exciting and beautiful.”

“Exploring a vast and devastated Russia down in the metro as well as on the surface is entertaining from the beginning to the very end. Improved graphics and other smart features such as the ability to choose how you want to tackle each play through makes this adventure well worth a revisit. Even though the human enemies more than often act dumb, there is no reason to miss out on these two unique horror/action shooters.”
