Based faithfully on the online series/novel/interactive experiment by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 makes you Artyom, born and raised underground in the Moscow metro following the nuclear holocaust of 2013.
Blimey, but life is hard. Perpetual torch-punctured darkness, a punishing journey to be undertaken to save your home "station" from destruction, ravening hordes of irradiated mutants threatening (and delivering) extravagant violence. It's the micro-management that makes the game into an everyday hell.
Metro 2033 mechanics that would adapt perfectly to VR, and the upcoming Metro Awakening by Vertigo Games this year.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
If you're a fan of the Stalker or Metro 2033 games, Chernobylite is absolutely an experience that you don't want to miss out on.
I'm sold on it big time. I love the metro games and to me this is very much in that wheelhouse. It was very impressive technically as well.
