Did you read Metro 2033? It’s been compared to Roadside Picnic and has spawned a sub-culture, too (exploring abandoned Soviet subways lines and stations)

- glangdale 5y agoMetro 2033 is a solid SF B-grade actioner. Not great, not terrible. It's not even vaguely in the same league as Roadside Picnic.
- f1refly 5y agoMetro is to roadside picnick what mcdonalds is to your local high end steakhouse. You can enjoy both, but in different ways. Besides, the st. petersburg trilogy set in the same universe as metro but written by Andrey Dyakov is, in my opinion, far superior to the original series in almost any way (the second book is way too slow). You should give it a shot if you enjoyed the original novels.
