Metro Awakening on Meta Quest 3: a Dmitry Glukhovsky-scripted prequel built around underground tension and exceptional Gunplay.
Streamlined, atmospheric, and one of the strongest narrative shooters on Quest so far.
Metro Awakening is Vertigo Games' ambitious VR prequel to Metro 2033, with series creator Dmitry Glukhovsky writing and Martin Deron directing. On Meta Quest 3 it trades crafting and workbenches for tighter gunplay, persistent dread, and a six-to-fourteen-hour story about a doctor trying to save his wife in Moscow's fallout-era subway. We look at why the streamlining works and how it stacks up against the best shooters on Quest.
