From Destructoid: “My lack of familiarity with the Metro franchise is painfully evident to everyone in the room less than 10 seconds after Im handed the controller. As my comrades on the Aurora, the massive train jettisoning Artyom, Anna, and the rest of his crew of survivors across the Russian landscape, discuss what to do next now that were low on fuel and water, Im doing my best Dean Takahashi impression, running around the engine room like a frightened bat that just flew into an open window. Its embarrassing, it really is, but any feelings of inferiority quickly dissipate as I find the open door and head out into the harsh wilderness of the Caspian Desert.”
