    I was really excited to play this DLC, however the bugs, the lack of polish and the cliche of a story ruined it completely.
    The bugs were more jarring than anything - texture pop in, character disappearing, graphical glitches, animation glitches....the team didn't polish this at all. On multiple occasions characters just walked into a wall and disappeared. Blurry textures everywhere,    I was really excited to play this DLC, however the bugs, the lack of polish and the cliche of a story ruined it completely.

On multiple occasions characters just walked into a wall and disappeared. Blurry textures everywhere, animations that do not connect with what the character is trying to do..A lot and I mean, a lot of invisible walls, character gets stuck on little sticks, unable to move, can't climb simple obstacles.

    Story is just meh, I really expected more but this DLC was a let down.    … Expand

    Sam's story seems amazing...if it's the first of a series of episodes featuring Sam's journey from Vladivostock to Los Angeles.
    The setting is very akin to Volga and Taiga, to which the first is not my favourite level and the second, whilst very interesting, was very linear by comparison. The swamp/flooded parts of the map are the worst experience, luckily the motorboat makes driving    Sam's story seems amazing...if it's the first of a series of episodes featuring Sam's journey from Vladivostock to Los Angeles.
    The setting is very akin to Volga and Taiga, to which the first is not my favourite level and the second, whilst very interesting, was very linear by comparison. The swamp/flooded parts of the map are the worst experience, luckily the motorboat makes driving around a breeze than rowing clumsily around.
    Main questline feels very cheesy, and speaking of which seems to entirely dominate the game experience, whereas in the base game, the larger maps and open-world nature allowed you to scout out areas for goodies and upgrades. This would have been possible had the travelling part of the map was either water based (which in practicality limited the open world concept) and the few ground travelling was entire linear, and often scripted as well!
    I really wish 4A games makes some more DLC campaigns for Sam, he can travel north to find an ice crossing, bringing back an open-world winter/snow map that follows a story where he obtains passage to an ice crossing in Kamchatka; there he can cross the frozen sea and make stops at the islands for some side missions. A third chapter has him traversing down Alaska and Canada, where American, Canadian and others (including Russians) survivors can be encountered as enemies or friends. And of course mutated Alaskan wildlife battling non-mutated animals.
    Anyways enough rambling; Sam's Story is so-so, I just wish it was the beginning of a series of DLC chapters featuring Sam.    … Expand

    This DLC is a disaster in my opinion. I'm a big Metro fan, the original Exodus was a masterpiece, but Sam's story DLC is an unfinished game in which i found around 5 bugs in a 2 hour gameplay, one of them was game breaking.
    I don't recommend it to anyone.

    Looks like this DLC is made by some drunken Metro fans. Original Metro: Exodus was a brilliant game. Sam's Story isn't. Its totally broken technically, its boring, acting is terrible. It just doesn't feel like Metro anymore.

    The story was mediocre but the ending was absolutely horrible. Waste of time imo.

    A typical linear, boring, forced stealth game. A nasty, shameless trick to make a tiny game seem like it has a big story! DISGUSTING. WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AND WASTE YOUR MOMEY. PLAY CRACK INSTEAD. What's with the endless swarm of monsters u idiots? And what's that stupid white flash in pitch dark blinding my eyes? Idiot devs. U think u are successfully scaring players?

    The final DLC for Metro Exodus brings players a brand new open-world level to explore, filled with intense gameplay opportunities and stories to tell.
