Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is interesting, enough to keep me hooked up and make me care about the characters, but it lost me at some points, probably because it's been a while since I played all other Metro games and don't remember the overarching story that well, but there is a lot more paranormal then usual.

Level design (the second half throws varied threats at you, forcing new playstyles)
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the fact that while you don't get a melee weapon, you can bash enemies with your gun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics are surprisingly good for a game that is designed to work on a Quest.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

So far a very quality feeling vr experience, voice acting is great, performance is great around 85% of the time although scenes with dynamic shadows tank performance heavily (hoping this will get fixed in patches).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Now, I'm only only Chapter 3 and I'm playing on hard difficulty, which makes the game more engrossing and thrilling.
