Metro Awakening makes no compromise. After playing all the other Metro games, I can honestly say this is a true Metro game. If you are a fan of the original series, and you're a little brave, you will love playing this game. If you have played half-life: Alyx, this game isn't as long or engaging, but it gets damn close. It is, however, significantly scarier. Main takeaway: this is a solid VR horror-survival game.

I recommend it with a giant caveat. Only on sale for less than $20. The reason is that it’s too repetitive and uses the same environments and assets over and over to drag out what is for the most part a boring slog of a campaign. It is also far from a AAA game like you would expect from this franchise. It is indie through and through and plays like a Quest port even on PC with effects turned up. Many textures feel like low res JPEGs, pop in happens frequently and some assets just flat out disappear. The physics are not great and not everything can be interacted with which kills immersion. There is nowhere near as much depth as the flat games and the part I disliked most: it didn’t feel like an adventure. It felt like a slog through a very boring repetitive environment for 16 hours! The environment never changed and never let you explore the outside world… In my opinion, a VR mode of any of the existing Metro games would be far superior to this game. That being said… There are SOME good moments and the gameplay is genuinely fun at times—particularly during some of the more challenging stealth segments, which admittedly were pretty difficult on normal difficulty. This was probably due to the brutal checkpoints and frustrating artificial scarcity but they worked nonetheless. In summary, if you have nothing else to play and you’re a fan of Metro or long, single player campaigns, this game may scratch the itch just don’t expect anything close to its flat, AAA counterparts.

A superb Metro experience, beginning to end. Some of the stylistic choices the Vertigo team made were insightful and risky, and although some people won't like that, I thought it was a lot of fun (ie. third person panning cinematics). Story was well written and voice acting was great. Although the story wasn't the deepest, it still matched the somber atmosphere of the Metro universe and was engaging enough for me to follow along with. Surprisingly the music was A+. It just hit different when a nice strings orchestral piece fades in during a dramatic moment. Sound design was excellent and really helped with the immersion factor. Gunplay is tight and fun, and unforgiving if you don't aim. Survival/scavenging mechanics were present, but not entirely difficult. The frugality of ammo did have me counting my bullets during enemy engagements though, which added some difficulty. There isn't a ton of enemy variety but the immersive gameplay allowed me to look past that. I just enjoyed stealthing around regardless of what i was murdering. Enemy AI was surprisingly good, as they would attempt to flank you and also take cover from your shots. The spider enemy mechanics were super cool and interactive. It really made you feel like you were fighting something actively crawling all over you and helped build suspense during heated moments. Pulling it off your face and sticking your gun barrel in it's fangs and just blastin' was definitely a top moment for me Give the game a try! It scratches that immersive shooty shoot FPS itch with added atmosphere and lore. Lots of fun and a wonderful 15 hour experience!

I like the game so far and will change my review once I finish the game, but for now my thoughts are mixed and I wish I could rate the game mixed. Pulling out the backpack to do stuff feels very clunky (Dominant right hand) and the interactable world feels very much dead? Apart from boxes none of the shelves can be opened and the loading screens being pitch black void just... kind of takes me away from the world very often, and the world feels more disconnected cause of this and I hate the immersion being ruined. I love all metro games, but I wish they cared more about immersion here. Story so far is intriguing.

Metro Awakening was a great experience. I can recommend this game without a doubt. It is not as long as HalfLife: Alyx nor as complex, but somehow it came close to HL's greatness. Shooting is great, the whole backpack mechanics is also great. Finally, I witnessed an improvement in VR games. I wish more games had packpack mechanics like this one instead of body mechanics. The story is okay. It is sad and in typical Metro tones. During the travels, I saw a lot of devastated metro corridors and trails. Personally, I had only two issues with this game. The first one was objects, a lot of them were untouchable, it seemed to be normal, but sometimes a chest with supplies was a decoration, and sometimes it was not. So, some objects could be more distinguishable. The second issue is related to cutscenes. It was weird when out of nowhere I became a ghost floating over the character's body, or when I had to witness a scene like from Metro 2033, only in first person on VR. The worst case was during a ride on the rails. I have lost the ability to look around and almost fell irl due to the dynamics of the scene. This should not have happened in a VR game. The game also requires some backtracking. I understand that it makes sense in the story, and it is a metro, so usually there are only two ways, forward or backward. The same locations are reused, but this story (at least for me) is not a journey like Artom's journey. It is more about running in circles in madness. In conclusion, great experience and I recommend it to anyone who likes Metro

IMO this game receives a lot of hate it doesn't deserve, but it's not perfect. It doesn't feel like a Metro game in that I never had to debate if a potential resource cache was worth the filter I would burn to go get it. It's very linear, has too many "sit on the cart and shoot nosalis" sections, and there's no parts on the surface. The plot with respect to the wife and the cult is kinda meh, but watching the main character's growth to become one of the most iconic characters of the series was very well done. They also completely nailed the feeling of wandering around the Metro, having to charge your batteries, wipe the sludge off your gas mask, etc. If you've ever wanted to experience the Metro for yourself, it's well worth the money.

After playing Half-Life Alyx for like the 12 time, I needed something new to scratch the itch. As a casual fan of the Metro series, I wasn't even aware there was a VR game. It was on sale, I was fiending for something new, so I pulled the trigger. First, it felt like a Metro game. I'm not a big enough fan to know how fitting the story was to the universe, but it mostly worked for me. One of the only negatives I have is that it felt like it leaned a little too hard into dreams/hallucinations, but it's a minor nitpick. The story was satisfying. While not as polished as Alyx, the gameplay is very smooth and intuitive. I actually prefer the way Metro handles using weapons over Valve's solution. If you want to draw or holster your side arm, you reach down to your side as one would in real life. It really gives the impression that you're drawing and firing a pistol. While there are multiple secondary weapons, you can only quick-access one at a time. You have to grab your backpack (another cool thing,) and select the secondary weapon you want. Then, you can grab that weapon by reaching over your shoulder. The backpack itself is a very cool concept for VR. Your gas mask, extra canisters, secondary weapons, grenades, lighter, and power charger are all attached to your backpack that you can grab. It is really annoying in the heat of battle, but that's how it would be in real life if you didn't plan ahead. While there are some more minor complaints, all in all this is a very good game AND a very good VR game. Nothing is lost for people who haven't played the other games. It is a stand-alone story, so people who haven't played the other games shouldn't be confused. If you liked Half-Life Alyx, but wished there was a bit more realism, then Metro is absolutely worth the money. Heck, if you like games and have a VR headset, Metro Awakening VR is worth it.

Most of the gameplay itself is okay, there are a lot of good ideas, good gun handling, some really interesting game mechanics, and it's all bogged WAY down with tons of bad ideas, flaws, and missteps, including the game being so dark that you can't see anything in front of you, they keep pulling the "oh no your flashlight is dying" scripted sequence that does nothing but make you think you have to charge your flashlight battery, which drains way too fast even in normal situations anyway. But it's even worse when your flashlight keeps flickering for about a half hour of gameplay nonstop and you can't even charge it. This isn't even getting into the fact that this is the worst story in the series, the story has almost nothing to do with the original series except that it takes place in the same setting, and introduces completely ridiculous silly story elements. Not to mention that there are several giant unskippable scenes that you simply have to sit through, which aren't interesting or funny or anything, they don't build on the Metro setting, they're just there. If you love the Metro games and want to play one in VR, and you HAVE to get this, try to get it on the biggest sale you can. I had a few good times in this game, it's about half a good game mixed with half a bad game. Giant disappointment.
