- **Atmospheric and Immersive:** The game offers a dark and atmospheric experience, immersing players in a hauntingly beautiful but dangerous world where survival is a constant struggle.
- **Story-Driven Gameplay:** The game is heavily focused on its story, which is based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel of the same name. Players follow the journey of Artyom, a young man on a mission to save his home station and its inhabitants from a mysterious threat known as the Dark Ones.
- **Limited Resources:** Resources such as ammunition, gas mask filters, and medkits are scarce, requiring players to manage their inventory carefully and scavenge for supplies.

**Gameplay:**
Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter with survival horror and stealth elements. Players take on the role of Artyom as he navigates the dangers of the Metro tunnels and ventures to the surface, facing various threats, including mutants and hostile human factions.
The game features both intense combat sequences and quieter moments of exploration and storytelling. Players will have to manage their resources and make strategic choices during encounters. In some situations, stealth may be necessary to avoid detection and conserve valuable resources.
Players will also need to manage Artyom's gas mask, as the surface is heavily irradiated. Gas mask filters need to be replaced regularly, adding an additional layer of tension and realism to the gameplay.
