    Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition is an amazing upgrade that no one will think they wanted until they play it. The free nature of it allows fans to return to a more immersive world, while those who have yet to play can experience the best version available. This is the way Metro Exodus needs to be played. Sadly, the PC requirements are high, but those who can play will be treated to some serious eye candy.

    Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for PC is an add-on that enables advanced ray tracing effects and it works only on RT-ready video cards from AMD and Nvidia. While it does look impressive on PC, it may be more interesting for next-gen console users, since it makes the most of advanced graphic capabilities of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

    Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition is a solid introduction to the ray-traced future of gaming, barring minor technical hiccups.

    For anyone who missed Metro: Exodus in its original release and can scale the graphics card barrier to entry, the Enhanced Edition is definitely a must-buy. Thankfully players without the requisite gear can still enjoy the game’s other, less major, improvements and fixes too.

    Metro Exodus was already a graphic yardstick in its basic version, but this new edition manages to raise the bar even higher. This progress is mainly due to a more advanced integration of ray tracing, which brings in particular an extremely realistic light.

    Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition presents the original game along with all the DLC and greatly enhanced ray tracing technology.

    Metro Exodus is back in a high-octane enhanced edition to push your new gaming hardware to the limit. Had the Enhanced Edition demanded a price for everyone, we wouldn’t be nearly as excited or impressed. Since the enhanced version is free for current owners of Metro Exodus on both PC and consoles, this is a great reason to dive into the game again.

    Graphics improvements aside, the title of 4A Games confirms itself as the excellent shooter that we praised a couple of years ago.

    Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is, simply put, the best way to experience the game. The hardware requirements are steep, but if you’re lucky enough to have a ray-tracing enabled graphics card, there’s no reason to play the original release instead of this version. Sure, ray-tracing was a feature in the base game, but the Enhanced Edition has been built from the ground up with ray-tracing in mind and it absolutely shows. Whether you’re trapped in the series’ staple claustrophobic tunnels or staring out across an expansive vista in the new open-world sections, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition looks absolutely stunning thanks to its significant graphical overhaul.

    Metro Exodus is not as perfect as one would have hoped.

    Metro: Exodus PC Enhanced Edition is, without any doubt, the version you have to get if you get to this installment for the first time. Incorporating ray tracing, the DLSS 2.0, the ability to play 4K and extreme graphics options are a huge added that make it seem like the game has just been launched to the market. In addition, the presence in this edition of the two downloadable expansions of the game make this a complete edition that you should not miss. [Recommended]

I fell in love with the gripping story, soundtrack and brutal combat. The story is about human connection and sacrifice. Without giving too much away, the great lengths that Artyom goes for his wife Anna culminates in a very satisfying ending and is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

    I will say though, you will need a little patience with the game. It develops a little slowly in the beginning and the combat takes some getting used to but, given enough time, the storyline comes together really well and the characters end up being memorable.

    The combat is BRUTAL and stealth-driven. You will need to be on high alert every step of the way because ammo and work benches are limited. I cannot tell you the number of times I was at the edge of my seat, shouting and jumping in shock when a monster would attack out of nowhere. The horror element is very well done and lends itself to the gripping nature of the game.

    Oh and did I mention how incredibly good the graphics are? I played the PC enhanced version (highly recommend) which allows you to fully customize raytracing and DLSS settings. I cranked those settings to "extreme" thanks to the powerful RTX 3070 and boy do the environments really transform. Since this a post-apocalyptic game, the everything around you is almost always rusty, dilapidated and just plain dead or mutated. This is hands down the most graphically beautiful game I've played till date. If you're looking for a stealth-based post-apocalyptic game that you will have you at the edge of your seat throughout the entirety of the game, look no further! You will not be disappointed!    … Full Review »
