10	The game serves as the {{Prequel}} of the first game ''VideoGame/Metro2033'' and stars a very different protagonist named Serdar, who is a doctor and a survivor in the Moscow Metro. It takes place in the year 2028, five years before the events of the first game, as he has to find his wife within the Metro, and has to find the medication that she needs. But being Moscow Metro itself, a place full of threats and dangers alike no matter where he goes, his objective is by no means easy and it will ultimately test his courage and sanity to his limit... And in the process awaken the supernatural being that he destines to be.

14	!!''Metro Awakening's'' Tropes
15	* BreakingOldTrends:
16	** It is the first game in the series to be exclusively VR.
17	** It is the first game in the series to have a different main protagonist, namely Serdar, who is a CombatMedic than an ActionHero unlike Artyom and Sam, as shown in the [[https://vertigo-games.com/games/metro-awakening/ game's site]], where he is a doctor whose goal is to find his wife and the medication she needs.[[note]]While Sam in ''Sam's Story'' is the protagonist of his titular DLC, the DLC is still a part of ''VideoGame/MetroExodus's'' storyline and it is only an extension of the full game.[[/note]]
18	** It is also the first game in the series to be not adapted entirely on a book.[[note]]''Metro Exodus'', despite the canon of its prequel ''2035'' being {{Broad Stroke\|s}}d, is still connected as it is a sequel to the latter.[[/note]]
19	* CanonImmigrant: Serdar nowhere exists in other ''Metro'' works and is a game-exclusive character, like the previous characters including Silantius, The Baron, The Doctor, Olga, Tom, and Klim.
20	* CombatMedic: Serdar, the game's main protagonist, notably bucks the ActionHero trend that the series is known for, as he is not only a survivor but also a doctor braving the dangers of the Moscow Metro. His goal of looking for his wife and her medication also reflects on this.
21	* {{Prequel}}: The game takes place in the year 2028, exactly five years before the start of ''2033''.
