How it feels

A nerve-wracking trek through oppressive subway tunnels where you must balance stealth, combat, and radiation management in virtual reality.

What players say

Players are divided on Metro Awakening. Some praise the story of Khan's backstory and the VR immersion, but many report blurry textures and poor performance even on high-end PCs, with crashes forcing restarts. The game reuses locations heavily and its pace shifts between slow walking and exciting action, and players find the enemy variety lacking after the early chapters.
