2.5 hours in and this is one of the best VR games Ive ever played. No hyperbole. The adaptive triggers on this are the most crazy immersion. Now i just want bhaptics support.

I’ve try to get access to big flat games but developers are hesitant since this is a vr channel and by the time I get a key the videos have all gone out but I will keep trying. Thank you
Nice ! Waited for some review before buying. Picking up the Deluxe version on PSVR2 right now. We're off to a good start with Metro. Hoping Behemoth and Alien next month deliver as well.
Man that spider level with the screaming coming through the yellow pipe next to you was pretty terrifying especially with the 3d audio on my pulse elites. I felt like a was tripping balls the entire time, hearing voices and pulling spiders off my face
Been playing today on PSVR2 and its absolutely amazing. Thursday my PS5 Pro arrives and I'm gonna give it a 2nd playthrough on that. And we still got Behemoth and Alien on the horizon, great times to be a VR gamer
@user-mg3xr9tz7m Haha aggro much? No mate, I am just an avid games collector. Not just Sony, got Series X (and S) and Switch as well and a ton of older consoles in storage. If you don't want to get the Pro, hey mate that's fine! Don't really see why you'd trash people who do though.

@@GAMERTAGVR With 2x the power of Q3 + eye Tracking & FR will probably get games looking PS3-tier or so maybe? Because as is, Q3 games at best look somewhere in between PS2 & PS3. Hopefully Meta will use Dual LCD displays with high quality full array local dimming for deep inky blacks and richer colours too. Expect around 2300x2500 per eye and close to 120d FOV. Oct 2026 is a long ways off though, probably best to not even think about it! and hopefully they'll be able to trim the visor down even more, get it much lighter, to the pointer where it's almost glasses-like. That's one of VR's biggest friction points right now. The fact that headsets are still headsets, as sleek as Q3 is compared to something like the PSVR2.
@thelordoftime803 get a life you pathetic id1ot. Its a completely normal comment and GT is the last person you accuse of such an action. You got too much free time. Maybe get this game instead and play it
2024 best year for vr scince 2016? 2020: - Medal of Honor A&B - Half Life Alyx - Walking Dead S&S - Star Wars Squadrons - Quest 2 - Population 1 - Star Wars TftGE - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
@GAMERTAGVR Its almost certain that the Pro will eventually be a graphics bump. By how much is anybodies guess If we are lucky that might even happen at Pro launch Fingers crossed for that PSSR coming sooner rather than later
The regular 2D Metro games make me motion sick faster than just about any other FPS, I can not imagine how bad it would be with this. But, glad to hear it looks good, just wish I could play this stuff.
You should keep trying until you get accustomed to VR. Little stints that last longer and longer. Once you get ya VR legs you'll ne able to play allmost anything without feeling dodgy
@@riansillett2771 I've literally been using VR since the 1990s, owned every Oculus unit since DK1. It's not an issue of not trying hard enough, it's an inner ear balance that about 20-40% (no one knows for sure) of people who use VR can not overcome. I have friends who use my VR stuff without any issues, but for me, any slightly movement forward that doesn't match what is happening in real life is almost instant sickness. Also, as stated above, just regular 2D FPS games often do the same thing, just like how I get easily car sick, etc. With that said, I can take prescription drugs, these patches meant for cruise ships, which let me use VR without motion sickness - perhaps that is what people mean by VR legs, because with that patch I feel like I'm going to get sick but I don't. But without that patch, I'll literally throw-up and be sick for half a day if I try to push it at all.
Great review GT as always. I am having the best time of my life in gaming currently. I am drowning in into the radius greatness on psvr2 and will be playing this next!!!
OK heres my 2p worth. Started playing. Thought yeah... graphics are not bad. Pretty much what Alyx looks like. Soon found out that's NOT the case. Hardly anything is interacterable. Just a few bottles and switches when allowed. They could have started the game from the when you get your gun. Cos the story is boring to start and extremely linear. The gun is ok but nothing like Alyx which I felt was more fun and accurate. Tbh I felt this game is seriously overhyped and Alyx is a AAA title and this is not even close. On the plus side... it can be emersive at times and it is beautiful to look at.
Psvr2 has an absolutely ridiculous amount of mura so if that and reprojection/vr2 blur bugs you. Go quest 3. I bet with games optimizer you can get it looking incredible. And use content adaptive brightness for quest 3
@森里螢一-f3c Thank you..I did look again and realized there was more options, I just had to scroll down lol. I was wondering why I was dumb enough not to notice there was more options by scrolling down lol...usually on games on the right side of settings, there's some type of lines or dot that moves that shows there's more settings below.
So I'm a psvr2 user and been waiting for this game since day 1 and got to say I'm a little disappointed. I'm on chapter 9 and the last couple of chapters have been so slow with hardly any action "But the story you say?" Never hit me I had clocked out by chapter 3. Think it's the Russian accents for me they sound a bit cheesy like you're watching a bad film. Graphics are pretty good but I've definitely seen better, I also don't get the horror vibes as a comparison I never finished Resi 7 but Metro ? even the spider part wasn't that bad and I'm certainly no fan of them. I'm also playing on hardest difficulty and been zero challenge so far. Don't get me wrong some of the few fights I've had with human enemies have been pretty cool with above average AI but the mutants are weird sometimes your bullets seem to do zero damage and the on rail parts are as boring as hell as all on rails parts are in most games. I would also say that you back track a lot so far half my playthrough seems like stuff I've already seen. Also I get a weird bug with the gas mask and the condensation texture some times it looks like the glass on the mask and the texture are about 20 ft in front of me and very off putting also had an enemy put his gun through a wall and killed me. Overall I'd give it a 7/10 maybe even a 6 but not a game I'm looking forward to playing through again unlike Resi 4 still the GOAT shooter on PSVR2 finished it 4 times in a row.
@Adam-mo2qw because I'm well lazy. I'll start playing on PSVR2 for the graphics, and over time I'll get annoyed with the wires and start on Quest. I have a PC with a 4080 graphics card, but i get annoyed at the constant updates required for virtual desktop streamer, but it's cross buy if I get the Quest version.
@ dang kind of disappointing tbh. Especially for a game like metro, it would have been so cool to have to manage your gear/make sure your mags are loaded before heading out on a mission :/
Nice, nice. Reprojection. For all the good things there are to say about this game, reprojection takes them all away for me personally. I equally hate reprojection as much as I love the psvr2 and I really love my psvr2
One I will be getting for sure. Im glad to hear that it runs well on the quest 3. Giving me the choice to buy on psvr2 and quest 3 knowing I'm going to enjoy the game on which ever platform I choose. Thanks for all the info GT
Great review GT 😊 I did my preorder on quest 3, so I can't wait to see how it looks 😊 I was hoping there was a ranger mode as in the flat versions. Ranger mode and play on hardcore was my dream.
@@YoBrand15 If you got the enhanced versions of 2033 and last light, you could enable ranger mode, which added some difficulty. And did you then play on hardcore too, it was even more hard. Less ammo and filters, so you had spend money careful in the shops to buy items you needed.
Idk if he mentions this but this game is cross-buy for Quest/PC for anyone who isn't aware.. For some reason a lot of the time cross-buy games don't seem to get added to my library automatically so just giving people a heads up. Also seems silly to buy it on Steam if you have a Quest, might as well get 2 versions for the price of 1
I was a little shy about buying it on Quest 3 since I have a pretty strong feeling that Santa is gonna hook me up with the PSVR2 this year, but I had a Quest coupon so I went ahead and grabbed it anyway. I am glad the Quest version holds up well. After I wrap up AZ Sunshine Remake this afternoon I am going to dive in!
Subjectively, is the overall difference in graphics quality between psvr2 and high-end PC versions worth loosing the potentially nice PS haptics support?
A handy tip..if you’re being attacked by those mutant rat things and you’ve no ammo you can use your backpack like a shield to fend them off ..they still attack but you won’t take any damage
Thank you for again a wonderful review! Are you getting the PS5 Pro? It would be nice if you can make a post on what effect the ps5 Pro will have on psvr2. They have mentioned that psvr2 will benefit from it. I am getting the ps5 pro, but would also like your expert view on this.
I understand that price is high for a lot of people. I think for all the good work you do for promoting VR and also seeing the positive things for PSVR2, Sony should give you one! You earn it! I think you are putting a lot of effort in your work
I just installed the PS5 Pro this evening. Fortnite and Rocket league look a little smoother in 120 FPS. But no 'wow' moments. Will try some more specific Pro games in a while. For now, if you have no Pro, don't think you really miss out on anything. Hopefully there will be some improvements for PSVR2 soon!
This wasn't my type of game (short, linear.and too much story cutscene) But I'm very happy this doesn't bother most people. VR needs to keep up this standard
I can't stand cut scenes either. I skip every single one but I think all games should be somewhat linear and have a basic story. Or they feel pointless. The old Double Dragon arcade had the perfect amount of story. Marion got kidnapped. Go rescue Marion. No need for a boring C-rate movie between levels. Games already use a ridiculous amount of storage these days.
Top tip: To avoid the spiders, crawl around with your torch off and they go undisturbed. Then you can shoot them with the dart gun and one shot kill them
Hey GT. How do you assess your approach of playing on quest 3 first and then PSVR2?? I think this is very interesting choice that you got to make. On one hand you play on quest 3 and then you can appreciate the improvements that psvr2 adds. But on the other hand playing a game like this in not its best possible state with most impressive experience with haptics, does it not make you miss out on a amazing 1st impression?? Yeah and going from psvr2 to standalone version might ruin the standalone impression similar to how 60fps first to 30fps makes 30 fps undesirable.
I’ve read all of this and the approach was in the order I got access. That’s all there is too it. When it comes to your point on ruining one platform to playing on a another, for example would playing on PCVR might ruin PSVR2, it’s not really an issue for me unless there is a technical issue. I still play my gameboy, master system, ps5 for call of duty. I know the strengths of all the vr systems. I know the current best examples and worst so I speak on each platform individually for strengths and weaknesses. Personally I think playing mobile VR with this freedom at this quality is incredible.
@GAMERTAGVR fyi GT i know sometimes typed comments can sound negative. I asked the question in complete good faith and as a curiosity as to how handling multiple versions impact your experience as I dont get to deal with that. I completely have 100% trust and faith in your honesty and integrity :)
I have the game in pc . I can´t play it because i don´t have headset glasses. If i buy the headset, can i play it even if my monitor is a normal lcd? Thanks a lot!
Great review, just got it on steam, texture pop in is really annoying. I got it set on medium and even tried high but textures take a second to load in???
Great stuff GT. Would you recommend PCVR or PSVR2 fir the haptics? I'm leaning towards PCVR So I can play PCVR version on Q3 pancake lenses. What do you think?
I want to buy this today but am still deliberating! I have a PSVR2 and a decent gaming rig with PCVR using Quest3 so which platform should I purchase this on?
Excellent review GT! This got me pretty hyped actually. I was a bit on the fence about this title as it would be my first time dipping my toes into the waters of the Metro series. After watching your review however this looks like the perfect title to tide me over until Behemoth drops. Batman was incredible. Add in Metro and Behemoth and it is just a fantastic time to be a VR user. We are eating good this season that is for sure!
I wonder if I can switch the difficulty to hard. Now you have me wanting to play on hard. I played for 2 hours early and it’s a blast! Can’t wait to get off of work and play more!
Started playing and found the Mura on PSVR2 impossible not to notice, like looking through a net curtain. No idea why it's so much worse than any other PSVR2 game I played. Thankfully the VR Rock lenses I have when not using contact lenses seem to clear this up a lot assuming due to the coatings on them I added
The mura on vr2 is absolutely ridiculous. It’s insane. Like, you have to know that sometimes it’s hard to see the game through the mura. It’s not deep blacks like Madison vr. It gets dark, but always with mura. Always. Reviewers should say it. If mura bugs you and you have q3. Get it on q3
Why do the graphics on this video look better than my pimax crystal but I think it's because there's more fog effects and stuff in my game and the game that you're playing is like no fog
I'll be getting this on the 7th cause I don't preorder, but I'm glad to hear it's solid. 👌 I still gotta finish Batman, Nomad 1.0, and the Arizona Sunshine remake, but I'll still be buying Metro even if it takes me a week (or more) to get to it. I love a good shooter with unique environments/enemies and the Metro series has *always* had great (and usually creepy) atmosphere.

@@YoBrand15 If you got the enhanced versions of 2033 and last light, you could enable ranger mode, which added some difficulty. And did you then play on hardcore too, it was even more hard. Less ammo and filters, so you had spend money careful in the shops to buy items you needed.
Idk if he mentions this but this game is cross-buy for Quest/PC for anyone who isn't aware.. For some reason a lot of the time cross-buy games don't seem to get added to my library automatically so just giving people a heads up. Also seems silly to buy it on Steam if you have a Quest, might as well get 2 versions for the price of 1
I was a little shy about buying it on Quest 3 since I have a pretty strong feeling that Santa is gonna hook me up with the PSVR2 this year, but I had a Quest coupon so I went ahead and grabbed it anyway. I am glad the Quest version holds up well. After I wrap up AZ Sunshine Remake this afternoon I am going to dive in!
Somebody said you get the rift PC VR version if you buy on Quest is that right?
Yes
what a stellar of a game anyone stop and just listen to the conversations dont remember doing that this much like console
Thanks for the Review
Thanks for watching
the 10% off does not work. it says it will apply at checkout but the only discount is the already 10% off pre order and nothing else gets applied.
Link will work at launch
Man I was interested until the spider bit, I've got bad arachnophobia so I'm not sure I can handle it 😂 I might never sleep again after this 😂
How are the stealth sections ? Do you get night vision 😅
No night vision but I played pretty stealthily on hard mode
@GAMERTAGVR awe man. What a missed oppurtunity , seems like there is no silencers either , oh well . I still bought it so I cant wait to play it
Subjectively, is the overall difference in graphics quality between psvr2 and high-end PC versions worth loosing the potentially nice PS haptics support?
Pre-ordered and can't wait! Finished Batman last week and now another great game on the way!
Great review dude! Just getting setup to stream it myself 😁✌️☮️❤️
Hope it went well.
Great game so far and Hybrid grip makes me extremely happy! 😁✌️☮️❤️
A handy tip..if you’re being attacked by those mutant rat things and you’ve no ammo you can use your backpack like a shield to fend them off ..they still attack but you won’t take any damage
Guys, where's the Standard Edition on the Meta Store??
I can't find it either
So how was it on PC?
To all the people who already own a ps5 and are buying the pro just know YOU ARE THE PROBLEM lmao 😂😂 Metro looks great thuogh 😂😂
Would a swivel game chair be good or is their specific game chairs vr? Great review GT btw.
Swivel chair/stool would be the best. Some gaming chairs have wide backs is all. Sometimes just a normal chair is better
I cant figure out how to take the gas mask off
Not sure if its a glitch
Anybody else managed to do it?
😂 I don't use mine. I hold my breath.
I will enjoy this game on my Somnium vr1 headset that I recently received 😍
Oooh fancy
@GAMERTAGVR it's my most favorite headset of all time 🥰 you will love it . Hopefully you can get somehow one for a review 🙂
Thanks GT.
Cheers Ron
Thank you for again a wonderful review!
Are you getting the PS5 Pro? It would be nice if you can make a post on what effect the ps5 Pro will have on psvr2. They have mentioned that psvr2 will benefit from it.
I am getting the ps5 pro, but would also like your expert view on this.
Unless they actually patch the games, it will just be smoother performance due to the extra power.
I haven’t got the money right now but I will try
I understand that price is high for a lot of people.
I think for all the good work you do for promoting VR and also seeing the positive things for PSVR2, Sony should give you one! You earn it! I think you are putting a lot of effort in your work
I just installed the PS5 Pro this evening. Fortnite and Rocket league look a little smoother in 120 FPS. But no 'wow' moments. Will try some more specific Pro games in a while.
For now, if you have no Pro, don't think you really miss out on anything.
Hopefully there will be some improvements for PSVR2 soon!
two top notch AAA games in less than a month, vr is making a comeback. Let's hope Rogue Incursion is good.
🙏 we need Behemoth and Alien to be winners
Can't wait to play this on my PS6 with PS VR3.
Thanks for the review! Does the PSVR2 Version make use of the headset haptics like when the spiders crawl on you? Being torn between PSVR2 and PC.
Yes the PSVR2 has the best haptics
This wasn't my type of game (short, linear.and too much story cutscene) But I'm very happy this doesn't bother most people. VR needs to keep up this standard
I can't stand cut scenes either. I skip every single one but I think all games should be somewhat linear and have a basic story. Or they feel pointless.
The old Double Dragon arcade had the perfect amount of story. Marion got kidnapped. Go rescue Marion. No need for a boring C-rate movie between levels.
Games already use a ridiculous amount of storage these days.
Wait, so there is retrojection also on PC?
I just figured out The Quest 3 version and the Quest 2 version are the same version.
There's no graphics upgrades on Q3... What a shame...
Oh! Really? As a q2 user that makes really excited, but I'm sorry for you guys who can afford q3
Hey man, did you pre-order PS5 Pro?? Just interest Upgraded VR games or not?
I haven’t got the money right now but I’ll try and sort something out
@ same 🤝
Good times!
The Best
Do you think this is better than Batman: Arkham Shadow? Currently around 2 hours into the game and am absolutely loving it.
If I had to choose between this and Batman it would be Batman still
Very excited for this. Just need to make sure it works in a standalone quest 2
Don't know when I'll be buying this but I'm 100% sure I will.
Loved the vid as always, would love to know which version you recommend the most, trying to decide between PSVR2 and PCVR
Top tip: To avoid the spiders, crawl around with your torch off and they go undisturbed. Then you can shoot them with the dart gun and one shot kill them
Watched a few reviews but this is the one that matters!
Hey GT. How do you assess your approach of playing on quest 3 first and then PSVR2?? I think this is very interesting choice that you got to make. On one hand you play on quest 3 and then you can appreciate the improvements that psvr2 adds. But on the other hand playing a game like this in not its best possible state with most impressive experience with haptics, does it not make you miss out on a amazing 1st impression?? Yeah and going from psvr2 to standalone version might ruin the standalone impression similar to how 60fps first to 30fps makes 30 fps undesirable.
I’ve read all of this and the approach was in the order I got access. That’s all there is too it. When it comes to your point on ruining one platform to playing on a another, for example would playing on PCVR might ruin PSVR2, it’s not really an issue for me unless there is a technical issue. I still play my gameboy, master system, ps5 for call of duty. I know the strengths of all the vr systems. I know the current best examples and worst so I speak on each platform individually for strengths and weaknesses. Personally I think playing mobile VR with this freedom at this quality is incredible.
@GAMERTAGVR great insight GT. 👍 always respect your opinions :) I am getting this next month. Still finishing into the radius currently!
@GAMERTAGVR fyi GT i know sometimes typed comments can sound negative. I asked the question in complete good faith and as a curiosity as to how handling multiple versions impact your experience as I dont get to deal with that. I completely have 100% trust and faith in your honesty and integrity :)
I have the game in pc . I can´t play it because i don´t have headset glasses. If i buy the headset, can i play it even if my monitor is a normal lcd? Thanks a lot!
Great review, just got it on steam, texture pop in is really annoying. I got it set on medium and even tried high but textures take a second to load in???
Great stuff GT. Would you recommend PCVR or PSVR2 fir the haptics? I'm leaning towards PCVR So I can play PCVR version on Q3 pancake lenses. What do you think?
Great video. I go to PSVR without Parole for the PSVR2 review and then to you to understand whether to get it for Quest 3 or PSVR2.
I want to buy this today but am still deliberating! I have a PSVR2 and a decent gaming rig with PCVR using Quest3 so which platform should I purchase this on?
pcvr2 on pc
Excellent review GT! This got me pretty hyped actually. I was a bit on the fence about this title as it would be my first time dipping my toes into the waters of the Metro series. After watching your review however this looks like the perfect title to tide me over until Behemoth drops. Batman was incredible. Add in Metro and Behemoth and it is just a fantastic time to be a VR user. We are eating good this season that is for sure!
I wonder if I can switch the difficulty to hard. Now you have me wanting to play on hard. I played for 2 hours early and it’s a blast! Can’t wait to get off of work and play more!
Started playing and found the Mura on PSVR2 impossible not to notice, like looking through a net curtain. No idea why it's so much worse than any other PSVR2 game I played. Thankfully the VR Rock lenses I have when not using contact lenses seem to clear this up a lot assuming due to the coatings on them I added
The mura on vr2 is absolutely ridiculous. It’s insane. Like, you have to know that sometimes it’s hard to see the game through the mura. It’s not deep blacks like Madison vr. It gets dark, but always with mura. Always. Reviewers should say it. If mura bugs you and you have q3. Get it on q3
Guys, do you all have very grainy image in dark (or especially in totally black) places on PSVR2?
I really hope they do a ps5 pro patch. This game could shine on psvr2 without RP or 15% bump in reso
Why do the graphics on this video look better than my pimax crystal but I think it's because there's more fog effects and stuff in my game and the game that you're playing is like no fog
This game has already been cracked and free for the quest 3...downloading it now!🎉
I'll be getting this on the 7th cause I don't preorder, but I'm glad to hear it's solid. 👌
I still gotta finish Batman, Nomad 1.0, and the Arizona Sunshine remake, but I'll still be buying Metro even if it takes me a week (or more) to get to it. I love a good shooter with unique environments/enemies and the Metro series has *always* had great (and usually creepy) atmosphere.
Am I the only one disappointed by lack of forearms? floating hands breaks immersion so much..
This game isn't as good as advertised. I've played 5 hours and I'm kinda disappointed, starts off well but soon falls off.
Sadly on pre-order for quest 2 😢
Yeah it’s damn shame for sure but not long to wait
@@GAMERTAGVR definitely 👍
