About the Game


Metro Awakening is a story-driven first person adventure built exclusively for VR that blends atmospheric exploration, stealth and combat in the most immersive Metro experience yet.

The year is 2028

The survivors of nuclear Armageddon cling to existence in the buried subways of the Moscow Metro – civilization’s last refuge and tomb, where ghosts and spirits haunt the living in this man-made purgatory.

You are Serdar, a doctor braving the darkness, crippling radiation and deadly threats of the Metro in the search for your wife and the medication she so desperately needs. As your courage and sanity are pushed to the limit you must learn to walk the line between life and death, the spirit and the material world, and awaken the being you will become…

Features:
  • Lose yourself in a journey of spiritual awakening in this chilling, supernatural origins story from Metro creator Dmitry Glukhovsky
  • Experience Metro’s tense, heart-pounding gameplay in VR for the first time as you put on your mask, ammo and filters run low and your torchlight flickers and dies in the darkness
  • Wield a signature arsenal of hand-made weapons, don your gas mask, and venture into the depths of the Metro where desperate bandits, mutants, and worse haunt your every step

Update. Just finished, 18 hrs. This is a bad metro game and a below average VR shooter. I do not believe this was play tested. The story is pretty crap ad predictable. Levels aren't memorable and seem to be compiled from template components. Basic mechanics don't work naturally. Update: Are you kidding me. Don't buy it, not worth it. I thought that maybe I hadn't got far enough to be 'taught' the mechanics in my first review but it turns out they gutted the core of the metro franchise. This, from a game studio that has already proved they can do those mechanics with Arizona Sunshine. Just buy Arizona Sunshine 2 instead. Lighting in this game is f@@@ed in two ways. 1. You have to manually edit game files on your PC otherwise it is unplayable as a Metro game due to the lighting being pitch black. Even in a room filled with candles you cannot see where you're going without your torch on, until you step into the candle light, you can be facing a corner and it's pitch black, then take ...

After playing all of the non-vr metro games, playing this made me extremely happy. it is all you would want from a metro game. Stealth, weapon interaction, gritty storys and environments, solid horror and lastly amazing graphics. Only thing ive not liked is the stealth takedowns/melee combat. You only have fists, no knife no opportunities for creative takedowns only a bonk on the back of the head. Luckily the weapon and gear interaction makes up for all negatives. At the end of the day, this is not what you would expect it to be but its exactly what you want it to be. 9.5/10 made me play exodus again.

For some reason the performance for this game is absolutely terrible and graphics settings either are bugged and don't work or have minimal impact. 5900x, 6900xt with a psvr2 and getting 50 percent reprojection, 40 - 60 fps

I cannot even imagine how this could be mostly positive. Especially when only a few of players got till chapter 10 (17% by achievement). At the beginning I upset because there is violent only possible way. It gets against a spirit of Metro. But as I get closer to the finish, the storyline is getting more absurd. I do not even tell about common mechanics and VR interactions. I lost minutes to find where clips are hidden at every time, while monsters are eating me. Stupid screamer. I understand the complexity of VR, but this is just a crap.

As a fan of the Metro series, I can recommend this. However, if you are a casual VR gamer, I honestly cannot recommend it. For Metro fans, it most certainly captures the atmosphere of being in a post WW3 metro. As a shooter, I honestly found it lacking and shallow. There are much better VR shooters out there. Even as a Metro fan, I did not enjoy the whole paranormal aspect of the story. I understand that the original work had paranormal aspects to an extent. But this game took it up several notches, and I honestly did not enjoy it. For past Metro games, it was simply background information while it IS the entire story for this VR game. And that took the immersion out of it for me personally.

I have a Vive pro 2 headset and a 460ti rtx graphics card and have never been able to start this game as it glitches non stop on the start screen and the controllers dont work. I can play any other game but not this. In other words its borked.

Loved the game. Graphics are great and the setting is explorable. I spent a lot of time taking in the ambience of a dingy, decrepit metro station. While i liked the mechanic of having to wind up your flashlight, I would have liked to see more of the tube at a time, instead of a thin sliver of flashlight beam. After all, I’m paying for VR, which is entirely visual. But awesome game just the same.

First off, no this not nearly as good as half life Alyx. However it is still an amazing VR Metro game. Definitely worth picking up.
