Opening scene from Metro Exodus (2019)

So after starting up the game there is a nice introduction to the would to recap what's happened. This is presented on train journey where the camera as well as the train are both moving to the right, this allows the story to flow much better because a it progresses both the camera and train are telling two different stories.

While the train is moving we see outside and what is happening in the world, from when the missiles hit to people running in fear to the safety of the Metro tunnels to the eventuality of the Metro becoming small civilizations.

The camera moving on the other hand shows the passage of time on the train, showing the degrading of the train and slowly the abandonment of the rail line system until it's eventual stop. 

After this scene we get a establishing shot of post nuclear Moscow, expressing how silent and 'dead' the whole city is. 

All these add to the story as we see the downfall of Moscow as well as the eventual rebuild of civilization in the underground Metro as well as the emptiness of the surface.
