Metro 2033 Redux App Reviews
Once I got the right driver from Nvidia the game ran amazingly on max settings. Looks amazing, plays amazing and is scary as hell. Well made game, to bad there is no co op.
Exceptionally slow with tremendous latency. Near impossible to play as everything is in slow motion, even at the lowest resolution/settings. I have the highest spec’d Macbook Pro and it can’t keep up. Tech support is a black hole, so buy at your own risk
This game really needs improvements. The frame rate is so awful that for all intensive purposes, it is not playable. I have a good system (3.5 ghz intel core i7 with 16 GB 1600 MHZ DDr3 ram and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M with 4 GB of ram and this game skips way too much. They need to patch this game and do a lot of optimization before this will playable. I want a refund.
This game could probably be really fun; however, it is so laggy on my system that it is impossible to play. I have one of the newest macs and the game is still coming up extremely laggy with my processor. Until there is an update on the bugs and all of that, do not buy the game. I would gladly change the rating on the review had the lag gone away. I want a refund on my purchase because this is not what the game should be.
The Initial release date: March 16, 2010 - Why is this being sold on App Store when no consumer mac will play the game, unless you consider a current 4K iMac Retina or Mac Pro as a machine marketed to the avergare consumer. Who do I contact for a refund.
I have the most recent MacBook Pro 15” laptop (maxed out hw) and this game - at the lowest possible video settings - runs like a slideshow. It’s pitiful. Total waste of money.
I’ve purchased other Metro games and enjoy the storyline, but the performance of this game is horrible. For example when you turn it’s like the game is in slow motion, and this is using a new Macbook Pro computer that runs other games, including another Metro game, without any issues. If they can get the technical issues fixed I’m sure it would be good, but at this point it’s unplayable.
This game is one of best shooters to give good gameplay and an immersive story. Many people say they have issues running Metro 2033 on their computers. Though the loading times for each level are long and the audio before each level gets cut up, performance is not an issue. I have an 11 inch MacBook Air with a 1.4 GHz processor. This game runs fine with the setting the computer already set up. Issues with performance occur because people demand to much out of their computers. Lets face it, Mac’s are not meant for gamers. But this game only runs into problems when I try to set up graphics that are to high for my computer to run. Even on the lowest settings, the game looks superb, far better then the original Metro 2033 on the PC. Final points: This is a great game with long loading times, but if you use the graphics set up for you on the game launch, you will be fine. If not, lower the graphincs a bit. I play on the lowest settings possible, and my God does this game run fine.
Thanks to MzGaming1’s review, I took a chance, and I’m glad I did! I experienced exactly the glitches he mentions, and a few more here and there, but this game is so worth it! The actual gameplay at the default settings is superb. (MacBook Pro 2013)
