Metro 2033

What is Metro 2033?

Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter video game with survival horror and stealth elements, based on the novel Metro 2033. The game is played from the perspective of Artyom, the player-character. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but occasionally missions bring the player above-ground. As a first-person shooter, Metro 2033 features a variety of firearms, some fictional and some based on real weapons, which the player will use in combat. Combat alternates between the player fighting mutants and the player fighting hostile humans.
