GPU; 9070 XT OC RAM: 32GB DDR5 So I've had this game about 6 months & just completed it on Hardcore Difficulty. I tend to play VR for a few hours at a time and then put it down for a month or so, due to limited free time. I've logged 18 hours game time, so it works out about right. This is my second favourite of VR games: HL:Alyx being first. Story telling was brilliant. It wasn't mind-blowing or shocking, but it did just enough to be unique and interesting, whilst keeping it simple for what is a short game. This game has the right balance for horror games: most of the time exploring, some short but intense combat scenario's, progressively increasing danger and gear upgrades. Limited ammunition, relying on being frugal with bullets and forcing you to take time. It sticks closely to the Metro environment, but not the lore. Its a side-story to the main games, which I think compliments it being VR and not restricting main story from most gamers. Enemy AI is simple. Its not the best, but its enough to meet immersion. They respond to you moving too loudly, they respond to you knocking things over, or shooting and not killing enemies. There were a few scenes that had me stressing (especially as an arachnophobe - do not turn off the setting, the panic attacks are part of the experience). My only negative comment for this game is the soundtrack. It doesn't take long for you to know when you're safe and when you're in danger by the music playing. Its a horror. I don't want a heads-up that somethings about to happen. As far as VR single players go, I give this overall experience 9/10. Graphics 7/10. Gunplay 8/10 Combat 5/10 Story 8/10. But when you put it all together, it works better than it should.

I'm 53 years old. Haven't really been into video games much at all other than playing very, very occasionally since I was a teenager. I got a Meta Quest a year ago to make working out more fun, which it has. I finally decided to start checking out some games a few months ago. After reading quite a lot of recommendations from people, I decided to get this game. Oh man... what an amazing experience that was!!! This is the first video game I have ever completed start-to-finish in my entire life except maybe the original Mario Brothers. It was a real challenge! I basically had to learn how to manage weapons and boost my health for the first time with this game. Once I figured all that out, I was off to the races. The depth and breadth of this game is outstanding. There were many nights when I got lost in my Quest headset playing this for what seemed like half an hour, but was really two or three hours. It was so much fun! I even had some dreams that found the game creeping into them. Hopefully none of those spiders get into my dreams! The story is captivating, the world is enormous, the challenges and fights against humans and monsters are adrenaline inducing, and the graphics are <chef's kiss>. I know my lower-tier graphics card is my bottleneck, but it still looked incredible playing via Virtual Desktop through my dedicated PRISMXR wifi6 router. I really hope there are more Metro VR games to follow. This was worth every penny and every moment. This game has definitely... awakened... a new interest in gaming, especially VR gaming.

Great game! Borrows a lot from alyx, exploration and combat is nice, it maintains that great balance of horror thriller and shooter. I have really only one main gripe with the game. While the game does balance tension well, I do feel like it's lacking the downtime in between sections that the metro series is known for, and it does make the segments blend together a little. Story's a little underwhelming, but I liked the ending. After finishing the game, I'd say it definitely overstays it's welcome. Recommended only if you're itching for a good VR campaign shooter OR you really like Metro.

Yes if u compare this game to Half-Life Alyx, the game pretty much lacks in everything. But if u look at it as a standalone vr game in its self its basically perfect. Would recommend buying it if u have a vr.

I literally karate chopped my face when a mutant spider jumped on the head in game this game is really cool and does a great job on certain features like the grabbing a spider thats on your face and throwing it, having to wipe your gasmask when it gets dirty to clean it, etc. but then cuts back on other features like being able to grab your backpack with your right hand, it always has to be your left. overall if you like the metro games you'll like this but if you haven't played the other metro games you should play those first to see if you'll like this one. Also this game is scary as hell.
