Metro Awakening by Vertigo Games plunges players into the eerie, radiation-tainted depths of post-apocalyptic Moscow. Set in 2028, this compelling VR experience is rich in narrative and powered by an engaging first-person shooter mechanic. Players follow Dr. Sedar as he explores the dark tunnels of the Moscow Metro in search of his missing wife, confronting supernatural threats along the way. The game's storytelling is further enhanced by exceptional voice acting, which creates a strong emotional bond between the characters and the player.
