You are Serdar, a doctor braving the darkness, crippling radiation and deadly threats of the Metro in the search for your wife and the medication she so desperately needs.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel 9th gen i7 (i7-9700), 16 GB RAM and RTX-2070 8GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines.
