Greeted with an enthusiastic cheer at the Microsoft press conference, the latest title in the grimly post-apocalyptic Metro series is another mix of first-person action, stealth and survival skills. Once again you’re navigating the wastelands of Russia battling mutant creatures and feral gangs while crafting weapons and exploring a vast sandbox landscape that changes with the seasons.
Elevator pitch: Far Cry meets the Last of Us on the Russian road-trip from hell.
