Metro Awakening Steam Charts & Stats

An excellent VR game (so positive review), but the actual story was terrible - boring, confusing and convoluted IMO.

The game isn't terrible it's just really boring past the 2 hour mark. It doesn't do anything to change up the gameplay other than progress the story or maybe give you another gun you won't have ammo for. Also there is no weapon upgrading and the controls are really weird. Feels bad man I wanted to like this game.

5 hours of pure terror, exactly what I signed up for. This has been so fun to play, running on Quest 3, recorded most of the gameplay and caught the funniest moments on camera. 10/10, would definitely recommend getting immersed in the underground tunnels of the METRO. (Edit, not done game yet, trying to find time, so far, would def replay it)

I think overall its a good game. It is more of a story driven game with lots of unskippable cut scenes, repetitive walking parts, and a mid story. With that said, I think the gameplay and environment is what carries this game. It is very well done with realism to the survival aspect of the game (limited ammo, health, resources, etc.). The stealth is actually very well done with any noise, light source, or movement attracting guards and staying in the dark is key. The environment keeps you on your toes with spiders, darkness, quick moving enemies, and quality graphics keeping you moving. The VR controls are great and fluid and there is a decent variety of weapons you get throughout the game that you have to manage with the scarce ammo. I played on the hardest difficulty and took about 10 hours to complete, so probably worth picking it up on sale.

I liked the combat and story. Game environment is excellent even if a little creepy at times. I'm on my second play through.

enjoyable and inspiring game! i’m excited for the future of immersive single-player vr. incredible - use of audio mastering - dynamic character animation - - they look at you and look at other things as they talk and you move around - gas mask immersion, wiping off condensation - leading the players attention and subverting expectations - revolver crossbow interactions great - level design, polish, directing the player - ambient character conversations - pacing - feathering tension - everything you see is just so beautiful - real world time watch not great - interaction could be better and more interactive objects with more depth - - guitar - - plant - - keyboard - monster AI is a little janky - too tense and repetitively difficult near the end - story was a little hard i can tell it's the same tech stack as Arizona Sunshine 2, which isn't the best thing in the world, but i'm really impressed by how well they were able to scale up the polish to have near-alyx AAA perceived quality.

Overall, I'd recommend this game as a die hard Metro fan. It is a wonderful, beautiful prequel. I've always been curious about Khan's backstory, and this game is one of the reasons I finally bought a VR headset. The downsides? The game is buggy as hell. Stuttering and equipment bugs require chapter restarts to fix. Nothing like being in a firefight and realizing you can't retrieve a mag out of your ammo pouch... or the opposite with not being able to draw your weapon. Frustrating, yes, but I still recommend this game if you can slog through the bugs. Hopefully, they will be fixed in time. I certainly hope to see more Metro VR releases from Vertigo Games! Have faith, Comrades!

The best way I can sum up this game is that it's more of a "VR game set in the Metro universe" and not a "Metro game but in VR". If you go into this game expecting one of the previous Metro games, except experienced through VR you may end up disappointed. I'm not sure I would recommend it for full price, but having picked it up for around $35 AUD I feel like I got my money's worth.

a lot of tunnels and vents you have to crawl through but aside from that its graphics and ai are great

This game is pretty great, although not perfect. It never ceases to amaze and disappoint me how a good game can end up with middling reviews just because people want to invent things to complain about. There's no reason this should be "Mixed" for "Recent Reviews" or otherwise. First of all, Vertigo has made a few shooters in VR already and they know what they're doing. I was afraid this might end up being a little too similar to Arizona Sunshine but it does *everything* differently. It's definitely it's own game. For starters, make sure you have a few changes of pants. This game does not hold back on the scares. It's dark, it's tense and it makes you paranoid that something will jump out from every corner. On the negative side, I did end up having to turn on Arachnophobia Mode, even though I'm not afraid of spiders, just because they will teleport onto your face and you can take a bunch of cheap deaths that way. Very annoying. If they were more like the headcrabs from HLA, where you could bat them out of the air, they would have been a lot more reasonable. You can turn them off any time, though, so I suggest trying it with them on and only turning them off if you get annoyed. They do provide a lot of atmosphere that gets lost when you turn them off. The story is decent, but weird. I've never played a Metro game before so I don't know if they're normally this weird but, as a newcomer to the series, it was weird. It did drag a little at the beginning but became reasonable once the adventure really gets underway. The story is a lot more in depth than Arizona Sunshine but it's still not really the main draw. The atmosphere and gameplay are still the winners here. Overall, $30-40 for a 12 hour campaign from a veteran VR studio with great atmosphere, pretty good combat, some unique gameplay mechanics and a decent story is well worth it, IMO. I had a lot of fun. Check it out.
