Metro Awakening review: a survival horror adventure that'll land with the right audience, but that's not me
Metro Awakening is note quite for me. There’s definitely something here for the right kind of VR game fan; namely someone with a better connection to the Metro franchise (this is my first entry), who enjoys slow-burn stories with splashes of horror, and who can stand spiders. That’s just not me, unfortunately. Review Info Platform reviewed: Meta Quest 3 Available on: Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest 2, PSVR 2, Steam Release date: November 7, 2024 I do enjoy some good ol’ survival horror, mind. Resident Evil 2 , 4 , 7 , and 8 – including the Meta Quest Resident Evil 4 port – are among my favorite games of all time. The gameplay loop of facing your fears and exploring spooky environs to better face the dangers wandering those spaces is one I can’t get enough of, and in this regard, I think Metro Awakening does so much right. Even the smaller beasts of the Moscow Metro feel intimidating, and there’s an inescapable tenseness to wandering the claustrophobic tunnels...
