Alright gamers, let’s talk about a franchise that doesn’t just scare you…
It stresses your lungs, your wallet, and your last two brain cells at the same time.
I just published a fresh deep-dive into the Metro series — the games that turned “running out of air” into a full-blown horror mechanic.
👉 Read the full breakdown here: Developer's Codex
In this breakdown, I dive into:
- Why your gas mask timer feels more dangerous than any mutant
- How Metro weaponizes silence, filters, and cracked glass to mess with your head
- The genius of using bullets as currency (because why not suffer more?)
If you love survival horror, oppressive world-building, or games that make you check your real breathing… this one’s gonna hit.
Tell me your worst “my gas mask is breaking and I’m definitely dying” moment below.
Let's traumatize each other respectfully. 😭🔥

The last mission "Dead City" where you face those mutant gorillas : o I ran out of gas there .
It's my favorite fps , it almost felt like I experienced it for real. Every game feels boring after this.
Metro Makes you realize what it feels like to run out of something other than ammo in an FPS game and it hurts.
