Experience the Metro world in VR
Metro Awakening is a story-driven, first-person action-adventure game built for virtual reality. Developed by Vertigo Games, this title is the VR addition to the Metro game series adapted from the novel Metro 2033, which puts players in the familiar post-apocalyptic and war-torn fictional Russia set in 2028. This game highlights the grit and nasty evolutions that the apocalypse has brought, giving a dire and depressing atmosphere.
Metro Awakening continues the tried-and-true formula of the Metro series with its scarce resources combined with tense shooter gameplay battling morphed animals from the era far long gone.
Unique gameplay meets familiar world
Metro Awakening shifts perspective from Artyom to Serdar in this VR installment. You’re a doctor battling the deadly threats and radiation of the world in search of your wife. Lose yourself in the masterfully executed story combined with the dire gameplay and limited resources that force you to think outside the box to survive and find the love of your life.
The game exhibits unique gunplay mechanics and creative makeshift guns with multiple upgradable options for you to use against the dangers of the world. The enemies in-game are also effective in giving thrilling action as humans are the enemy. However, when it comes to it, the environment becomes your toughest opponent with its radioactive-filled world, forcing players to manage their gas mask filters, and the products of nuclear war.
The environment completes the storytelling narrative of the game with its strong display of post-apocalyptic thematic. Combined with VR, this world becomes more true-to-life. The music and voice-acting further immerse you in the world, plunging you deeper into the anxiety-filled circumstances and dangers that lurk in every corner. However, the fast-paced action and wide environments can make players dizzy after a long gaming session.
Step into the Metro’s apocalypse
Metro Awakening offers a gripping VR adaptation of the Metro series, immersing players in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world with compelling storytelling and survival mechanics. The detailed environments, intense gunplay, and atmospheric sound design add depth, making each encounter memorable. Though demanding and potentially dizzying, the game is a must-try for VR and Metro fans alike, delivering a haunting journey through a world ravaged by nuclear fallout.
