About this episode

The episode explores the themes and elements of the game Metro 2033, including its portrayal of the apocalypse and survival in a subway system.

We're back, and visiting a new part of the world! Today, let's take a look at the Russian response to the apocalypse, in 4A Games' 2010 game, Metro 2033! We'll talk about psychic mutants, bullets as currency, and winged demons. And we'll ask ourselves, could we actually survive the apocalypse in a subway system? All this and more in Metro 2033 (and its remaster, 2014's Metro 2033 Redux)! Join us there, at the end of the world. Metro 2033 is available on PC, Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles.
