Metro 2039 is the next game in the Metro series, a set of first-person shooters based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels about survivors living in the Moscow underground after a nuclear war. The series is known for atmospheric, graphically detailed environments, and each new instalment has tended to push the technical limits of PC hardware at the time of release.
