Metro 2033

A first-person shooter with survival-horror elements, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel. You play Artyom in a post-apocalyptic Moscow, moving mostly through underground metro tunnels and sometimes up to the irradiated surface. Ammo and gear are scarce, the levels are fairly linear, and some sections can be played stealthily. Is it your kind of game?
