CVG: Living in the subway system of a post-apocalyptic Moscow wouldn't be such a bad thing if everything was this pretty.
I'm sure I could cope with it. Metro 2033's dank tunnels are covered in a glistening sheen: it looks as though if you ran your finger across a masonry surface, it'd end up covered in thick grime.
No time to sit and marvel at the artfully distressed environments though - dawdle in the maze of tunnels under Russia's capital, and you'll become a snack for one of the hyper-aggressive mutants that also call the subway systems home. Or, if you're really unlucky, you'll find yourself at the mercy of the Dark Ones, described by some of the grizzled tunnel dwellers as 'Homo Novus' - new humans. Creepy.
