4A Games' Metro series is undoubtedly one of the best post-apocalyptic shooter franchises you can enjoy today, with each game sporting excellent writing based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro novels, tense survival shooter gameplay, and stellar visuals and audio. Each one is easily worth their full MSRP, but right now, you won't even have to come close to paying that much to get them. That's because a special Metro Series Sale has officially kicked off on Steam, offering each title for massively reduced prices until May 25.
The highlight of the sale is an incredible deal for 85% off the Metro Saga Bundle, giving you access to Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux, Metro Exodus, and each game's DLC for a jaw-dropping $12.49 (down from $84.96).
Metro 2033 introduces players to the story and setting of Metro, putting them into the shoes of series protagonist Artyom. It tasks you with making your way through the underground Moscow Metro that various communities took shelter in when nuclear bombs fell in 2013, with occasional dead ends forcing you to ascend to the irradiated, mutant-infested surface. Your goal is to reach the metro's "capital" station of Polis — something you'll only be able to do with careful management of ammunition, gas mask filters, and other supplies — to get help and save Artyom's home station from mysterious supernatural dangers.
Metro: Last Light continues where the first game left off, with several of the metro's factions learning about a special military facility Artyom visited in the first game. You, along with "Spartan" peacekeeping companions, must travel through the tunnels and on the surface to discover their plans and stop them if possible. Then, in Metro Exodus, Artyom and the Spartans discover shocking information about the outside world and commandeer a train, exploring the Russian countryside.
Notably, the non-Redux Complete Edition of Metro: Last Light is free for a limited time on Steam, as the developers at 4A Games are celebrating the game's 10th Anniversary. If you download it now, you'll own it forever, even after the promotion ends on May 25.
All three of these games are phenomenal, though Metro Exodus is my favorite of the bunch. Between its fantastic storytelling, its engaging and polished non-linear open world gameplay, and its top-notch presentation, it's nothing short of a must-play masterpiece. Not only is Metro Exodus my favorite open world shooter, it's also one of the best PC games in recent memory.
