You will get:

Metro 2033

Metro Last Light

Both in remastered better graphics.

Below is the description from Greenmangaming:

"The Metro Redux bundle includes both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux.

Both games have been remastered in the latest 4A Engine, and boast two unique playstyles - Spartan and Survival - plus the legendary Ranger Mode.

Items included in this bundle:

Metro 2033 Redux

In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the Earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.

Metro Last Light Redux

It is the year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above."

I think this is a good price for both games with remastered better graphics. If you don't own either game, this is definitely a pretty good bundle. Don't forget to use the voucher.

  Stay away from the Redux versions. They're 2 steps forward and 3 steps back, in much the same way that the Doom 3: BFG Edition had so many consolised handicaps that it was a total downgrade from the original game. The Redux versions were created solely to be able to run on last-generation consoles (why else would they re-release a game that was less than 4 years old at the time?), and hence had to have much eye candy removed to be able to run on ageing hardware.

  Full comparison video here; long story short, the original has higher resolution textures, but worse lighting, while the Redux version has blurrier textures but better lighting and global illumination (which arguably kills a lot of the horror pretenses, as the shadows are far less dramatic, the environment is less "gritty", the game is overall brighter and visibility distance is much higher). The Redux versions also have volumetric lighting stripped out, Tesselation mostly removed, PhysX removed and Smoke/Fog/Particle effects severely reduced.

  Also note, many of the game-crippling issues that Metro 2033 suffered from have not been resolved (crashes, terrible optimisation even on very high-end hardware, stuttering, long load times, etc.)

    Interesting information. Revamped versions are supposed to be superior, but yes, when PC Master Race games get consolized, they are always Fubared.

    Some revamps are apparently golden though, like ResEvil 4. There are probably others.

        I think you just need to watch more Zero Punctuation.

    I've finished 2033 Redux and am onto Last Light Redux and haven't experienced any of the issues you've mentioned. The game loads very quickly, I haven't experienced any stutter, and that's running it with everything maxed except AA which is on 0.5x. Perhaps some of the textures are lower resolution than the original but in terms of performance I've never come across any issues…
