I quickly lost my grip on the handcart and fell onto the ground, just managing to scramble into a gap for safety. Unfortunately, a nosalis dropped behind me and knocked me down. One of them grabbed the new guy - glad I didn’t learn his name - and eventually Eugine tossed me a shotgun.Īfter blasting several more nosalis, Boris woke up and laid down covering fire with me as we sped towards a checkpoint. Unfortunately, I didn’t have many rounds, and several nosalis began leaping aboard the handcart. I woke Eugine, and he began pumping the handle to get us moving, while I provided covering fire. I awoke in my seat on the handcart, and spotted some mutants at the opposite end of the tunnel, heading for us. It stopped after a few seconds, then began to walk off - where it was shot several times in the back and dropped to the ground. Seemingly immune to bullets, it did something to him and he collapsed, joining a couple of other people on the ground, and then touched me. Someone was firing at a being that I can only describe as a bulked up Grey alien (think a Roswell alien who has never missed arm day in his life), most likely one of those Dark Ones. I pulled the trigger on my rifle to shoot it, but there was a flash of light and I was transported to a white space. Then Boris and the new guy started commenting about a “whispering” - and an anomaly began to chase us as they became unresponsive. Since the new guy had been pumping the cart the whole way by himself, a short distance in the guy next to me was told to pump as well to get through this creepy tunnel faster. We reached a checkpoint, and they told us that we had to take another tunnel due to a tunnel collapse near Alexeyevskaya. Nameless guy and Boris wore their most colourful "journeying" outfits As we travelled, I couldn’t actually see what supplies we were delivering anywhere on the cart, and we weren’t escorting another handcart… Someone joined us at the last minute, and we left for Riga. Into the next chamber, Boris summoned me to a handcart, and instructed me to take a seat next to Eugine. A short distance away was the armoury, where I was given a bastard gun (so-called because it overheated far too quickly), some ammo, medkits and a gasmask.

I didn’t realise this until I was already handing over a couple of High Grade Military rounds. As I made my way through Exhibition, I listened in to some conversations and knocked on some doors, actually interrupting a couple getting busy.Įntering an assembly area, a man told me about his sick child and asked me for something.

I was going to guard the caravan, so I needed a weapon or two. I picked up a note and some supplies before heading for the armoury to get loaded up. The caravan was taking supplies, but my reason for joining it was to use it to get to Polis, and fulfil my promise to Hunter - tell some guy called Miller what the Dark Ones were doing. We were leaving for the neighbouring station Riga.


Having survived an attack on the metro station Exhibition, it turned out to be a diversion for the Dark Ones to lure Hunter the Spartan away from the station…Īrtyom was woken by his friend Eugine because I had to get to the caravan. I will chronicle my playthrough of each title in turn and discuss any recurring themes and noteworthy events. This is my ongoing exploration of the Metro games, played in release order.
