Metro Awakening VR

Very atmospheric and extremely immersive story-rich game build around post-apocalyptic METRO universe by Dmitry Glukhovsky with great visuals and atmosphere

Strong sides:

  • Authentic world details and atmosphere
  • Emotionally gripping storyline
  • Outstanding voice acting
  • Adjustable difficulty and comfortable options
  • Impressive cinematic cut scenes
  • Amazing visuals, lights and effects
  • Well-designed combat and movement mechanics

Weak sides:

  • Predictable and repetitive level design
  • Constant lack of ammo, even on easy difficulty
  • Clumsy spare ammo/reloading mechanics
  • Stealth and melee combat are challenging to execute
  • Arachnophobes should stay away till patch comes out

Summary and conclusion:

Another visually stunning game from the creators of Arizona Sunshine and After the Fall, and it’s absolutely worth your attention—not only for its captivating story, atmosphere, and graphics. While the gameplay can feel a bit repetitive at times, and there are a few minor flaws (which we hope the developers will address in upcoming patches), it remains an exceptionally immersive VR experience with a compelling narrative at its core.
