In 2028, you play Serdar, a doctor searching the buried Moscow Metro for his wife and the medication she needs. Nuclear devastation has made the tunnels a refuge, while supernatural dangers haunt their depths.
Explore the Metro’s stations and tunnels, find supplies, and face bandits and mutants. You can use stealth to get past some enemies or fight with firearms and other weapons.
Survival depends on managing equipment and supplies. Reload weapons by hand, use a gas mask and filters in hazardous areas, wipe condensation from its visor, and crank a device to recharge your flashlight and power equipment.
In these supplied reviews, players who enjoyed the game often praised its claustrophobic Metro atmosphere and the added presence of VR, especially during tense exploration and horror encounters. Hands-on actions such as reloading weapons, managing the backpack, and maintaining the gas mask or flashlight were also appreciated, as were the story and Serdar’s connection to the wider Metro world. Other players found the story, controls, or repeated settings less compelling, so these positive impressions were not shared by everyone.
