Critic Reviews for Metro Awakening
Metro Awakening VR delivers some terrifying moments in its deep, thought-provoking story, but after a strong start, repetitive levels and pacing issues kill most of its momentum.
Metro Awakening is an admirable attempt at translating the post-apocalyptic shooter series into virtual reality, and at its best is a poignantly atmospheric marvel with great controls and an unrivalled sense of place. Yet it is also held back by poor checkpoints and combat, which quickly falls into a repetitive game of cat and mouse between very stupid enemies. It learns all the right lessons from masterpieces like Half-Life: Alyx without introducing enough new innovations of its own, and because of that, it suffers.
There's a pleasing physicality in VR as you wipe condensation from your gas mask, or furiously hand crank your little generator
Metro Awakening captures the tense horror the series is known for, immersing you in a nightmare filled with plenty of authentic ideas.
Metro Awakening is a VR outing that does the Metro series proud. With a story and setting that adds further depth to Dmitry Glukhovsky's magnum opus, incredible visual and sound design, and a wealth of mechanics that represent the Metro staples, this title is a tense, gripping and action-packed blast for VR fanatics.
Had it lasted 4-5 hours and offered more variety in locations and gameplay, Metro Awakening could have been a solid FPS-survival experience in VR. As it stands, though, it risks becoming tedious well before reaching the end.

Superbly immersive and packed full of action and chills, Metro Awakening is by far the best PSVR 2 game this year and should be in the top ten of all PS5 games of 2024.
The intensity of the Metro franchise meets the strengths of Arizona Sunshine to create an intense and well-constructed shooter.
