In 2036, Artyom and a band of Spartan Rangers leave the Moscow Metro aboard the Aurora, a modified steam locomotive, to search for a new life in post-apocalyptic Russia.
Travel through large, explorable regions and more linear story sequences, searching abandoned places for supplies and facing human factions, mutants, and other dangers. Approach encounters with tactical gunfights or stealth.
Scavenge materials to craft equipment and customize handmade weapons, while maintaining your gear and managing gas-mask filters. Decisions during the journey can affect the fate of Artyom’s companions.
Players often praise the tense atmosphere, detailed environments, and the emotional story of traveling with the Aurora crew. Reviews especially value the companions’ conversations and the sense of a shared journey, alongside exploration that rewards searching for supplies and upgrades. Some players find the open regions more constrained than a true open world, and opinions differ on the silent protagonist and technical reliability.
