Just have to ask, are you using a controller? or have one connected at all while playing?
Had that bug on GTA: Vice City when my joystick was connected, so this time around I already made sure no other peripherals besides the keyboard and mouse where connected.
Oh, well. In that case I am sorry to say I can't help much.
In my case this issue occurs because the game binds something like the left trigger axis of the controller to the camera. Then because it incorrectly assumes that the center of that axis is 0 the player camera spins endlessly. That is unless I can hold it in the center, which is a trial by itself.
Exact same problem with my gaming mouse.. Can only play Metro titles with my crappy bluetooth spare mouse :-( ? It has to be something dodgy in the games, doesn't happen anywhere else and i've tried removing xpad and joystick modules withouth effect.
Oh I should add, I'm running on latest Manjaro distro (Arch based w/ KDE flavour)
I had this identical issue. In my case, the kernel was interpreting my mouse as a joystick
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft®_Nano_Transceiver_v2.0-if02-event-joystick: symbolic link to ../event8
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft®_Nano_Transceiver_v2.0-if02-joystick: symbolic link to ../js0
To temporarily stop the issue, you can remove the file. However, you you cannot remove the by-id or by-path symbolic links, you must delete the file. In this case event8 and js0 (This will change!)
If you unplug the device and replug it, it will return when the kernel probes it.
This shouldn't be considered a method of solving the issue, just a workaround so the game is playable.
Hello @MaxPayneFH, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Closing pending feedback.
Nothing extracted yet.
While playing any game of the Metro franchise (Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light and Metro: Last Light Redux) on Fedora 21 or OpenSuse Tumbleweed the first person camera keeps rotating endlessly to the left, rendering the game unplayable, also on the options menu, things like the volume bar keep decreasing on their own to left.
This bug isen't present on Ubuntu 14.04LTS and in the past it wasen't present on Fedora 20, however I can't rectify whether or not this bug is present in Fedora 20 nowadays.
