For anyone curious about the Metro 2033 theme, (i know, very unrelated) the song is somewhat of a cover of a classical piece named La Rêveuse by Marin Marais, a French composer and virtuoso at the Viol (or Viola Da Gamba, a Classic-Baroque era stringed instrument from the Bowed, Fretted and Stringed family of instruments). You can find it here on KZbin. Beautiful piece, i recommend you give it a listen.

Metro 2033 takes place 20 years after the bombs fell. You state Artyom is "20 years old" but hasn't been out of his station since he was a child. Obviously Artyom is over 20 years old: 24 years old.

I think the reason for Artyom to be that skilled and resilient is because of the early contact he made with a dark one. Hence the reason why Artyom was a one man army
