Most of Metro 2035 is bland dialogue and chapters that have no meaning or impact. Unfortunately, Metro 2035 has none of that except just a okay story (the story wasnt nearly as good as Metro 2033). I gave Metro 2033 five-stars because of its amazing and riveting story, interesting and distinguishable characters, horror and creepiness of the metro, and ultimately a problem-solution story. I'll review this book by comparing it to Metro 2033. Metro 2035 goes back to follow Artyom's adventures in the metro from Metro 2033. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. It's been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space. It's there that they created a new world for themselves. It's there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world's largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits.
