As a child, he and some friends dared to venture into the Botanical Gardens near his home station. The unfortunate reasoning for the Dark Ones being within the Metro, however, is because of Artyom. The underlying theme is still survival and follows Artyom reaching the centre of the Metro to warn of the oncoming danger from the Dark Ones. In the game, the story sticks to the novel, but there are some differences. Saved by Sukhoi, who becomes his adopted father, or uncle as Artyom calls him, he grew up in Exhibition station, known as VDNKh in the novel. Little did Artyom know this would be the last time he’d see his mother, who sacrificed herself to save him.

This was till the station was overrun by a horde of rats, which festered and attempted to feast on the inhabitants forcing the survivors to flee. Artyom is one of very few survivors the original blasts of nuclear fire that rained from above, and although he was too young to remember, he was raised by his mother in Timiryazevskaya station. Metro 2033 is where our story starts, playing our protagonist, Artyom Alekseyevich Chyornyj. Be warned, there are spoilers ahead for the game as well as the novel. So, ready your gas mask and check your ammunition as we explore the story of Metro 2033. We’ll also take a look at the original novels Metro 2033, 20, which inspired the games, written by Dmitry Glukhovsky. But before this, let’s trudge through the tunnels of the Metro once more and delve into the story so far in both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light. With the atmosphere clearing from the devastating nukes of World War III, the light is finally breaking through and life is slowly returning to the surface, offering a desolate forgotten world to be explored.
