Release Date: November 7, 2024
A spin-off of the popular series of post-apocalyptic shooters, developed by Vertigo Games with VR headsets in mind. Metro Awakening has us play as Serdar - a doctor trying to find his wife and obtain medicine her life depends on.
Metro Awakening is a spin-off of the FPS series launched The 7th Guest VR. The game represents the action adventure genre and was created with virtual reality headsets in mind.
The action of Metro Awakening takes place in a post-apocalyptic reality, specifically - in the Moscow metro, which is home to the remaining inhabitants of the Russian capital who managed to escape the nuclear annihilation.
The events in the game take place in 2028, five years before Artyom's adventure from Metro 2033 (which were presented both in the book and in the game of the same title). The main character of the game is Serdar - a doctor who travels through underground tunnels, trying to find his missing wife, as well as obtain the medicine that keeps her alive. Given that the metro is teeming with all sorts of dangers, the expedition quickly turns into a real struggle for survival.
In Metro Awakening we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). Traversing through the tunnels bathed in darkness and claustrophobic metro stations, we must constantly be on guard, as danger may lurk at every step.
The main danger to Serdar comes from hostile people and mutated creatures. Even though the hero can use firearms, a better solution than openly attacking enemies is to sneak behind their backs and eliminate them by surprise.
Serdar also has to deal with both deadly radiation (he can be protected by special filters) and supernatural forces.

Game Ratings for Metro Awakening Video Game.
Analog Stick Gaming: 8 / 10 by Jeff M Young
Vertigo Games may be new to the Metro lifestyle, but they pull it off with a confidence that really shows through. The VR touches to bring the series to VR are masterfully handled with only the occasional VR jank issue rearing its ugly head. The story may not always impress, but the tense firefights and threats around every corner really perform a lot of the heavy lifting. Metro: Awakening is a standout title for the PSVR2 and while that isn’t saying a lot given its barren catalog, it’s still a solid outing nonetheless and a great Metro game to boot.
Impulsegamer: 3.9 / 5 by Gareth Newnham
Another solid PSVR2 title and a fine addition to the Metro series.
God is a Geek: 8.5 / 10 by Chris White
Metro Awakening captures the tense horror the series is known for, immersing you in a nightmare filled with plenty of authentic ideas.
