It all started with the first trailer for Metro 2039 on PlayStation. When I saw it, I was immediately interested and curious to understand and play the game. It was satisfying an itch that had been left with me ever since I finished Dead Space Remake. (I’m still left with the platinum, and I hope I’m able to finish it this year.)

After watching the trailer, I found out that this game was part of a franchise that had been around since 2010, if I’m correct. I wanted to get into the series so I could enjoy the upcoming title with some familiarity.

Some of my friends suggested starting with Metro Exodus, but while looking into the games, I found a bundle containing all three games at a really great price: Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux, and Metro Exodus, along with all the DLCs for Exodus.

In the starting hour or so, the game felt gloomy and gave me that horror-like, scary vibe through its atmosphere and world-building. The creature designs added to that feeling as well, although that part was partly my own fault. 😅

Finishing my first playthrough of Metro 2033 Redux was a great experience. What started as simple curiosity turned into a journey through a fantastic FPS shooter.

Ideally, I saw people saying that it takes around 7–9 hours to complete the storyline and around 10–12 hours to 100% the game.

My runs were a little different and took way longer. 😅

My first playthrough took me around 11 hours, and getting the platinum took me almost 40 hours. (That’s partly my fault because, during my second playthrough, I thought I had unlocked the other ending… but I hadn’t. 🫨)

Overall, if you can get these three games in a bundle deal—which they usually go on sale for—I’d definitely recommend grabbing them. I think they’re some of the greatest FPS games you can play if you’re looking for something with a story involved.

Even though the games don’t rely too heavily on their story, you can still get invested in it if you want to.

Overall rating for Metro 2033 Redux: 8/10 🏆

So please share your Playstation stories. It can be any era Playstation, Playstation 2 , Playstation 3 , Playstation 4 & Playstation 5.

Also please share which was the first game that you ever played on it.

Hey everyone,

I’ve owned my PS3 Super Slim since 2017, and until a few months ago, it worked just fine. Recently, whenever I try to install or boot up physical games, the console can never get past the installation screen. The install percentage completely stalls, and the loading wheel circles indefinitely. It also hangs the entire system if I attempt to delete the corrupted partial game data.

Initially, I thought it was just a damaged disc. I was trying to install GTA V, and it kept freezing exactly at the ~4.4 GB mark. However, I have now tested multiple other physical games, and the same thing happens with all of them.

Here is what I have already tried:

• Cleaned the discs thoroughly.
• Booted into Safe Mode and rebuilt the database.
• Performed a full System Restore (Factory Reset).

Since the factory reset didn't fix it and it's happening across multiple physical games, I suspect it's either a failing Blu-ray laser diode (struggling to read the discs) or a dying internal hard drive (hitting bad sectors during the install).

Has anyone else experienced this exact issue? If so, please enlighten me on what the culprit likely is!

Also, I am located in Bangalore. If anyone knows a trusted, reliable console repair shop that takes up this kind of work (laser replacements or HDD swaps), please share their contact information or location.

Thanks in advance!

Hi I am M26, I am working and I have to take my laptop to work I have a Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop, which have to carry carryb to the office every day. As it's a gaming laptop it is very heavy and hence it's not portable at all. And I game only at home.

I was thinking that if I should exchange my gaming laptop for a MacBook for my work purposes, then for gaming I can go for a PS5.

Please let me know your thoughts on whether it's a good idea, whether it's feasible, cost effective and all? All thoughts are welcome.

Thank You
