3.5

The atmosphere and world building described in the book are fantastic. One can feel the fear of the protagonist wandering through rhe darkness of the metro tunnels, and there is lots to discover.
However, the plot felt somewhat disconnected. The protagonist is thrown into one situation after another, and often those would not progress the story, but rather extend the lore of the book.
