One of the reasons the Metro games are so appealing is their strong dedication to immersion. That is also why there is no franchise in this entire world that would be a better fit for VR. Metro Awakening is an awesome Metro game, a great addition to the series and a good VR game on top of that, one that is unfortunately held back in some key areas. The VR adaptation is extremely solid. Vertigo games have put all their experience in making games of this genre to use here, resulting in a technically nearly flawless VR shooter. The one area where the game unfortunately fails to deliver is: immersion. While the little immersive elements, like the cranking of your flashlight or the wiping of your gas mask, work great, the game world as a whole feels awfully static and flat. There are very few things you can actually interact with, very few things you can touch and pick up. For a franchise where immersion is front and center, a VR adaptation could have offered a lot more in this regard. And the fact that they did not include any pneumatic weapons borders on criminal negligence. Additionally, the world design is somewhat repetitive with very few stand out set pieces, which makes the 10-12 hour playtime feel a bit stretched out at times. Nevertheless, I would absolutely recommend this game to fans of the franchise and to newcomers alike. The most impressive thing Awakening achieves is that it stays true to the series. The original assets provided by 4A games as well as the Glukhovskys writing will make everything feel immediately familiar if you have played any of the Metro games before. Khans backstory is well written, the voice acting is phenomenal, the score even more so. This is a very good game, despite its shortcomings, and you should absolutely play it.

It’s absolutely criminal this game is sitting at a mixed review score. This is a fantastic VR game. Not a tech demo. Not early access. A fully fledged game. Great atmosphere, good story, very immersive, scary and weird. Worth the $40 but an absolute steal for when it goes on sale. VR would be in a way better place if we were getting games like this more often.

This game is getting unfairly review bombed by people who expected this to be the next HL Alyx thanks to the ridiculous hype cycle of YT influencers. The reality is that this game is NOT as good as Half Life Alyx but it is (so far) a really good VR game. There are some standout positives that I feel are worth mentioning: ============== 3 HOUR UPDATE ============== The game is getting better! I got the AK and it feels GOOD. Here's a few more positives about the game: * The AI is some of the best I've seen in VR. The rat things are great at hiding and flanking, calling in more support. And the human AI feels really good. They react to light, will hide, communicate, investigate, etc... I'm not saying this is the best AI ever, but its definitely a league above most VR games. ========== 1.5 HOURS ========== * The music is amazing. It seems this game not only has some of the original Metro music, but also some original and very beautiful and emotionally moving tracks that are wonderfully interwoven into the scenes at the right times. * The voice acting is 10/10 excellent and all of the dialogue feels natural and AAA * The story is great. Its a metro game so you already get a setting that is baked with atmosphere... The opening scenes are dramatic and emotionally full. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone but, the girl with the guitar :( * The controls are mostly great. There are a few odd choices for sure, like not being able to jump (the game jumps for you), but for the most part these are all standard controls that worked as you would expect. * So far the guns feel good but an hour in I only have a pistol. The negatives: * An hour in and already the game feels a little repetitive. I've walked through a lot of mostly linear spaces, charged some switches, shot a few mole things... but yea, I'm definitely ready for this to pick up a bit. If it keep this pace for the rest of the game I will definitely be bummed. * Linear. The new batman game is pretty linear too... I guess thats just the nature of VR these days.

Soo... Its not like AAA Half life Alyx quality sadly. After first 5 hrs already feeling repetetive mechanics that starts to be more and more anoying. Flashlight work only in 2 meters. Characters in many places look the same, and quality is faaaar away from Exodus but still better than most indie VR. If you like metro series it is something worth a try to really fell it but don't set expectations too high. That may change as game progress i will update comment then. For now 5/10

This is not real PCVR, but phoneVR - that is, the game was made for the ultra-weak Adreno 650 phone gpu inside the Quest 2. This means that many textures are very low-res, and levels of polygons (geometry) are similar to a 20 years old PC game. That said, the game has been nicely enhanced with real-time lighting and sometimes detailed dynamic shadows. Note that these detailed shadows aren't enabled in the intro chapter, but are enabled later in the game. The gameplay is mediocre. Due to the Quest 2, there is close to no physics - you cannot even open drawers or pick up close to anything apart from ammo. I'd rate the game 6.5 - 7 out of 10. The real-time lighting, some enhanced textures and the dynamic shadows do make a significant difference. And we can increase res for much better image clarity than standalone Quest users. Compared to the best PCVR games, I do not think this game is worth more than $25. Performance using Index is fine/great. With an RTX 3090 I'm getting solid 80 fps in 80 Hz using Index res 275% with TAA and all other graphics settings maxed. Do not use TSR for antialiasing, unless you got an RTX 5090, lol. I disabled motion smoothing. The game is very limited, mostly just one way forward, but I do enjoy such simple shooters. Btw, do not compare this game to Alyx. Alyx is light-years ahead of Metro Awakening in every way. I had no issues starting the game or using the Index controllers. The game never crashed. My rig: i9 10900K (10 cores and 20 threads, 5.3 Ghz), RTX 3090, 32GB 3200MHz, Samsung 8TB SSD, Win10 Pro.
