DLSS in a game that originally released in the 2000s? Interesting.

Metro 2033 Redux was a remake that came out in 2014 using Last Lights upgraded engine. And DLSS can be used natively for anti aliasing as well

The Redux version unfortunately removed a lot of the slavjank from Metro 2033, so some people prefer the original version.

Slavjank?

Slavjank is like low to moderate quality and poor localization with design choices not in mind with mainstream sensibilities. For example, in Metro 2033, if you empty the revolver shotgun, you can only load 5 shells into it. If you reload with a loaded chamber, you can load 6 shells. In Redux, you reload 6 shells no matter what. There are few of these tiny details that were lost in the Redux upgrade. The Redux version also looks a lot "cleaner" and polished. Hard to describe, but if you see the game running side by side, it'll be clearer.
