Okay so, been reading all the reviews and I can see why some people are disappointed. They wanted al Alyx-like game in Metro. I've played 3 hours so far and here is my honest review. It's not a Alyx, maybe Alyx from Temu, buuut as a Metro game, it does fine. Not excellent but fine enough. The story is simple yet good enough. The ambient music is on the loop so when it gets tense, you think that something is coming but there is nothing. The weapon handling and interactions with different props are nice and activating a circuit or cranking up your flashlight feels satisfying so that part is right. The atmosphere is also good, finally we get the good ol' Metro vibes that we were missing in Exodus, and it's in VR. Yea, sometimes creepy places can get tense but so far not a single serious jump scares because at least the developers understand what is the Metro franchise about. Do I recommend it? Yes, it's something you should play if you own a headset. Full price? Ehhh... maybe wait for some discount unless you really want to go for it.

I don’t understand why people say the graphics look bad. This was one of the most artistic VR games I’ve ever seen. Sure, it doesn’t look like Half Life Alyx but which game does? This was a Quest 3 first game. They knew their limitations and tried to mask it with a really good art style, just like back in the day when PC games were optimised. I like the story. The atmosphere and acting were great. They reused some maps and assets throughout the story, but it didn’t feel cheap. I really like how the mask looks. The water droplets looked so good, and it even fogs up when the main character gets excited. I left it on all the time. The spider mechanics were really creative and well made. The controls are a bit janky. I felt so restricted when playing. They were clearly inspired by Half-Life: Alyx, but it feels like they only borrowed the weaker parts of Alyx’s control design. I don’t like how some interactions are bound to specific hands, like holding bags only with the left hand. I wanted to rack the AK-47 with my right hand because that feels most natural to me, and it makes it easier to check if a round is chambered. But as soon as I let go my right hand, the gun snaps into a very uncomfortable angle, and I have to bend my wrist too far just to see the other side of the gun. Also, I don’t understand why it grabs the charging handle automatically, I keep wasting bullets by accident. If they wanted to add a mechanic for racking it without grabbing, it should have been physics-based because the grab area is huge. For the first half of the game, during emergencies, I was constantly greeted with a pistol that has no magazine. Because you can yank the magazine out without pressing the release, and when I hold my gun with both hands I naturally hold my grip buttons. So whenever I put my gun down, I frequently removed the magazine without noticing. There also weren’t enough sections to actually use all my bullets. I kept hearing, “I can’t grab any more magazines,” so I rarely bothered with stealth. You read all my rant about the controls, but despite all my issues, I’m still incredibly immersed in this game. It’s one of the few that truly achieved that for me. It was really cool to be in the Metro universe.

Is this the best VR game ever? No Is this a bad VR game? NO This is a GOOD game, not great, but its worth playing, i think most people complain everything is the same didnt play the first 2, its the metro, everything looks similar. no its not super detailed, there is not tons of loot to dig for, drawers to check etc. its set up like Metro 2033, ammo on bodies, or in ammo cases, that's about it. Also like Metro the enemies are bullet sponges if you dont AIM! Headshots people, makes a huge difference. This game does not deserve all the hate. No its not half life alyx, but its still worth playing on sale for sure. Full price? only if you truly love VR and Metro 2033-2034 Fans of Exodus only, you might want to look elsewhere.

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.

Pro: Combat is tight and responsive, VR controls are intuitive. Creeping around in the dark feels like a metro game. Flashlight and oxygen management add a solid VR layer to encounters. Con: Too much repitition and backtracking. Came back to the same area multiple times. Road on the gun cart more times than felt meaningful. No upgrade path for weapons like previous metro games had. Conclusion: buy on sale. It's not the next Alyx.
