Now that I think about it, I hope whoever thought of those endless credits at every opening will never find a job anywhere in this game industry again.

    Boring!Played for 5 hours, can't stand it anymore. Terribly boring, the shooting sucks, the facial expressions of the characters are generally from 2002. The plot didn't grab me.

    On river section i found a B O A T. Fking boat. Just hate this thing. I can't imagine humanbeing who decided add a boat with such a terrable controls. You barely can control it. Combine this with extreamly slow moving speed and you found yourself in situation when srimps spawns endlessly, you spent all of your ammo on them and just can't run from them cause fking B O A T.

    Nowdays every fking game turns into a hobo simulator and half of your gameplay is collecting shrooms what you difenetly better not eat.

    I like the graphics, but honestly game looks exactly the same as Metro Last Light as i remember it.

    I played this for couple hours more. And unistall the game. This is not a full price game.

    Other than some of the early RE ports, this has to be one of the worst console ports I've ever played. Not even referring to Epic's involvement, it's just a BAD port. Not worth it even on heavy discount - stay far away if you value your money at all.

    It is essentially a cutscene written by the world's least self-conscious person.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL/DR first : This game is awful, I couldn't force myself to "play" it more than a few hours.

    I have good memories of the first Metro games. I remember they were dark and interesting.
    I also remember I didn't want to punch friendlies in the face while screaming "shut up" again and again. It's the little things like that that makes a game bearable.

    Exodus is different in that regard.

    I've spent the first two hours of the game listening to people talking pointlessly, mostly doing exposition and telling the obvious. Contrary to the previous game, the writing feels superficial and lazy.

    While enduring these awful listening moment, I felt it was written for a very young audience. Of course you cannot move during these so you have to wait the end of some inane drivel that goes on an on.
    The way the game held my hand, sometimes literally, tends to confirm that impression. Hand-holding is something I despise so this didn't improve my impression one bit.

    In an nutshell : I've hated it. It got better after the first two hours when I was able to finally a bit alone exploring or hearing normal people speaking. At least now I understand why our character prefer to spend most of his time alone in deadly toxic areas filled with monsters. He can have peace away from the wife. (I've actually said "Thank you" to an enemy who silenced her with a punch.)

    When you can actually play, the game is pretty but I don't feel the RTX is very important here. I had to play with headphones though : the fans of my RTX2080 are kind of noisy. About performance I was mostly around 90fps during my play time. (TR 2950x, 64GB RAM)

    I was hoping that with any luck I my group would get killed. But four hours of that regime is all I could abide.

    I've installed that unpleasant piece of trash along with all the DLCs I own. I regret having wasted money, bandwidth an electricity for that.

    Why on Earth I cannot save *my game*, whenever and wherever I want?
    Why on Earth I cannot leave the goddamned stupid radio/map when holding A (and have to tap E, in the same time, a mysterious combination found on the internet, which doesn't work all the time, only 1 in 4 tries), IF I rebinded my keys to a way better scheme TFGH than the outdated WASD?
    You press T to run you idiots, then tap X to sprint, then with your thumb you press Space if you want to jump or AltGr to slide, waaaayyyyy easier than using your pinky on Shift then CTRL or worse, pinky on Shift, left index on C and middle finger on W... R reload, Y use, U trowables, J melee, 4, 5, 6 weapons, 7 lighter, D gas mask, S filters, etc. how simple and fancy that is...
    You implemented 6(!) keys for run/walk/sprint (ing) toggle and hold despite the fact that nowadays we need only to tap it NOT hold it like it was during my grandmother gaming times and YET when I have to change the throwables, I have to also support the vomit inducing antiquated piece of trashware stinking scent, by pressing U (rebinded scheme) then to move the mouse up/down/left/right (!!!) like I am scratching the left ear with the right toe like a baboon.
    Why on Earth I cannot set the weapons in the platinum iridium ruthenium rhodium osmium way, THE PC WAY, 1 knife, 2 pistol, 3 assault rifle, 4 shotgun, 5 throwables, 6 heavy weapons and so forth (up to = !) as it used to be (as far as I remember) in you first Metro game?
    You use to be PC gamers guy, what a terrible machine the PC is and you are switching your settings to the bronze-age dumpster boxes which are only good for growing mushrooms on a bed of enriched soil with dessicated cow dung.
    4 thumbs downs for this despicable console port scheme, for not being able to FULLY rebind the keys.
    1 thumb down for the idiotic screen tearing, even if I set the VSync to fast and Triple-Buffering on in NVidia panel. "Switch VSync on, duh", yeah, no kidding.
    Another thumb down for the jerky demanding game resources. I wouldn't say "this game looks bad", quite the contrary, but guys, cmon, I wonder what RTX and Ray Tracing you implement on Ancient Egyptian slaves wooden coffins.
    I would have rated this game a solid 9 if you hadn't implemented the sickness-inducing console scheme and you had solved the awful screen tearing even on Ultra settings.
    Get back to your senses guys and don't f. up something that is working. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    PC is freedom.

    The absolutely stunning visuals & memorable vistas don't save this game from its terrible story, awful mechanics, and downright stupid design decisions. I'm a big fan of the first two games in the series, but this entry is simply subpar on all accounts besides graphics.

    By far, the most glaring flaw and dumb mistake was their decision to keep Artyom a silent protagonist, when he interacts and holds direct conversations with literally dozens of people throughout the campaign. This becomes a glaring problem when they say things that warrant a direct response from him, or when they explicitly ask him something and expect a response. And yet, Artyom already voices every chapter synopses. There is so much that goes on that would have benefited from having him speak in-game, it would have lent many events much more emotional heft and necessary plausibility.

    The graphics in this game are insane, I'll admit it, though it is just about the only great thing about the game. All the settings, locales, environments, and vistas look drop-dead gorgeous 90% of the time, and I couldn't help but take countless screenshots during my playthrough. The designers deserve some serious credit for creating a world with this much graphical fidelity.

    That being said, the environments are so completely devoid of interesting things or anything interactive for that matter, that it all comes across as barely worth exploring. That drive for exploration is further curtailed by the fact that there are next to no discoverables or hidden items spread throughout these maps. I've explored practically every nook and cranny, and have barely ever received any award for doing so, let alone an actual substantial reward. This game's map comes across as the most dead, empty, bland, and un-engaging map I've ever played in since the original Red Dead Redemption.

    The game is super buggy, in everything from its cut-off or off-cue audio elements (consecutive character dialogue often completely overlaps, for example), to the wonky, unnatural, & downright terrible mechanics of the sprint ability. Enemies don't spawn or move right, characters float, bullets don't register, the camera pops up & stays that way when opening the map while in the car, and so much more. Stealth is practically impossible to fully play in. The gunplay is ok, the menu system is neat enough, the crafting mechanics are solid, and the gun customization is just thorough enough to be satisfactory yet not overwhelming. Aiming with a controller thumbstick is atrocious, no matter the sensitivty preset you use. Whoever developed these controls and thought they were ok messed up big time. It handles terribly.

    There are some great jump scares, and some solid creepy or survival horror moments, with a particularly creepy level at the very end of the game. The last level of the game is its best and was actually pretty great (and has a beautiful ending track), and probably not coincidentally is the one that sticks closest to the gameplay style & setting of the games before it. The other levels all had very promising starting segments, where the possibilities open up in beautiful ways, but then end up totally squandered with some terrible mechanics and storytelling.

    The loading times in this game are atrocious, some of the worst I've ever witnessed in a game. To start with, there is an unskippable 3-minute intro sequence until you can even load into the game each time you start it up, which is unbearable enough. But then levels take minutes to load as well!

    The story is extremely flawed, with tons of plot holes, bad writing, weak plotting, and lack of emotional impact. Some of the post-apocalyptic scenarios and plot points were ripped straight from The Walking Dead, yet handled far less meaningfully, gracefully, impactfully, or interestingly than they were there. Many of the game's scenarios are taken straight from other existing sources, including the setup of all the present factions. The characters are all unique, yet somehow remain uninteresting and unengaging. Many conversations come across as straight-up awkward or unnatural, and all character faces remain relatively expressionless at all times. The voice acting is mostly atrocious, & at its best barely acceptable. There is so much blatant exposition and excessive dialogue. Worst of all, you have to sit through many crazy deliveries of boring & uninteresting exposition - sometimes 10 minutes long each, and sometimes consecutively! This is not how to tell a story. Furthermore, some of the story threads lead nowhere, don't get addressed or were for naught, and the morality system is badly implemented & utilized.

    In summary, this is an awful game but an incredible walking simulator. I suggest either just watching a cutscene compilation on YouTube, or playing through the game on easy without bothering with exploration or crafting. With some competent storywriters, scripting, and voice acting, it might have even been decent.

    The graphics are just okay, some images are very blurry. DLSS is completely broken with this game. Turning it off doesn't help the optimization though. The story isn't the most captivating. However being on a train together creates a sensation of always moving forward, and there are some bright moments to be found within the frozen tundras. Can't recommend on the account of how many times the game has hard crashed my PC. .

    In terms of performance Exodus is very poorly optimised, or at the very least you can criticise the developers for taking away the swath of advanced graphical options the Redux titles offer and essentially leave you with dreadful "profile" type options, there is far too much baked in to these "profiles" to allow any sort of flexibility you would expect from a PC title. This game is one almost everybody should be able to play on at least "High" settings, but once again, the lack of graphical options you would expect from a PC title cripple performance forcing far more people than needed to drop to "Medium" which is just a slap in the face as this setting removes far too many graphical aspects and almost ends up looking worse than the Redux titles (which I can happily run on max settings at about 100FPS average). What posessed 4A to remove the flexibility of the graphical options I don't know but I hope the reprocussions of their actions have reverberated loudly with them. I'd like to say the game at least has a stable frame rate, but it really doesn't. I can look into the far distance with the engine fully rendering the terrain, trees, buildings, etc and get triple digit FPS even on ultra settings, but if I dare turn around and look inside the train that FPS plumments to about 40. Editing the config file for this game is a waste of time almost everything is hard coded, you can get a rather large framerate improvement by disabling TAA, but this then also severely messes up lighting in the game, everything is just a damn mess technically speaking.

    Exodus isn't a terrible game it has its moments and if you liked the Redux titles there might be something for you here but the technical issues is what earns this game a low score from me.

    The game feels like a downgrade in fun for an upgrade in graphics.

    It's slow and clunky, extremely so, where the character moves like its waddling through jelly. The fact that so many actions are "press [E] to" just makes it a lot more boring. Quite often i see an area i wanna go into and gotta slow down for the prompt, press the key, slowly crawl to the other side just to pick two

Quite often i see an area i wanna go into and gotta slow down for the prompt, press the key, slowly crawl to the other side just to pick two components and have to repeat the same. But it gets worse when it comes to more cinematic-y stuff.

    Walking by the coast? sudden mutant jumps out and we are now in cinematic quick time event spam [E]. Im on a boat and suddenly notice my input does nothing? here comes the monster smash. There are so many instances of the game playing itself and at times if you are "lucky" you get to repeatedly push a key.

    On the other hand, where it'd be nice to have your character locked is in dialogues but nope, they decided to let you free so you have the option to walk away but basically cant (if you want to learn anything that is) but the trick? that often other people also talk to you or on the side so you cannot get what they are saying (and if you wanted to play it in russian with subtitles, say goodbye to subtitles working in any way, at times they even break when there's only one person talking...).

    The parts when you finally get to play in between small quick time events or large first person (at times slow and clunky) cinematics, dont feel too compelling either. If you want stealth there are way better options including the previous two games (even if they had their issues, still better) because here there is SO much light and cover means **** so even if you only peek a little, an enemy multiple meters away will be alerted in an instant.

    If you like action on the other hand, i've ran into a couple invisible walls where the enemy wouldnt flinch but he could shoot back, tho they seem to be able to shrug off shots from a rifle somewhat easily, and of course they can shoot for hours but once you kill them and loot them, they'll have like 6 or 7 bullets. I've found myself leaving an encounter with less bullets and medkits than i started it with.

    Story wise? so far it's rather meh and i am struggling to feel compelled to continue. Anna's entire character is being overly attached and constantly being "oh my love!!!". Her dad is just grumpy for the sake of grumpy and the rest of the initial cast is generic bravado goofball soldier going "har har boobs".

    The atmosphere as far as i've seen is not that great either, i wonder why keep calling it Metro. This feels more like a less compelling version of Stalker.

    Seems like they wanted to add random elements from the Ubisoft sandbox formula, poorly, while keeping some of the crappiest parts of the Metro system (inventory and UI, and seriously don't start with the "muh realism" because then we have truckloads of prompts with floating [E] icons and other **** and lets not talk about the 'oh, your dogtag stopped the bullet!' cringy as hell moment).

    I played the 1.007 version, a year after it was released on PC, i haven't encountered any major game-breaking bugs or frame-rate issues. but the game itself just sucks.

    Four things that completely annoyed the hell out of me:

    - Horrible sound/npc design. I was hoping that my companions would shoot themselves in the mouth so they could finally shut up talking. and in overall, the game sounds like a convuluted mess.

    - Irritating cutscenes, especially in the beginning of the game, completely put my mind out of the game because you're not in control for half of the time.

    - Wrong sense of helplessness, i had no idea what i should do, or where i should go to, especially early in the game, and had to reload a lot of times after getting shot to hell (and the ludicrous one-slot save system doesn't help)

    - After i melee-attacked a humanimal it went down and it got back up, i melee-attacked it again, and it got back up. repeated that FOR 80 TIMES until i gave up and i was killed by it. I just couldn't help myself from bursting out in laughter and disbelief and almost destroying my keyboard by smashing ALT+F4

    I wonder how this game ever passed any playtest and Q&A department, my guess is that those people are too dumb to tie their own shoelaces.

    Exodus' story was horrible and I was not invested in any of the characters at any time. The gameplay felt clunky. The AI was absolutely horrible (think 2003 AI). There was never a satisfying moment of gameplay. This game felt more like a chore than a pleasurable gaming experience.

The gameplay is not very different, but it made me revise my score down significantly. The reason: this games punishes you severely for playing it ANY OTHER WAY than SJW developers intended, by killing off your NPC teammates and ultimately you, the protagonist. Enough said, this garbage is now uninstalled and I doubt very much that I will buy another game from this studio.

    I am kinda glad that this game released on epic crap store first. Bought it on steam for $30 and even that is too much for this one, I think the fair value would be about $15.
    But anyway. Lets talk about the good first.
    Visuals: the game looks great and runs well. I don't have an RTX card, just an old 1080TI at 1440p resolution and everything looked drop dead gorgeous, with exception of desert map where it started to chug quite a bit. Weapons looked great and so did characters. Some of character animations were a bit dicey though.
    Setting: I really liked the idea of a train as a moving, upgradeable home base. That was pretty dope, really hoping someone will take that idea to the next level, with a better game.
    The second half of the very last map, Novosibirsk, was just damn awesome. Gave me massive Stalker flashbacks and I loved it.

    Now on to the parts that were bleh.
    Sound: nothing special, really. Solid middle.
    Map design: uninspiring at best. There were some really pretty parts but the gameplay was kinda tepid. Like previous Metro games, the maps are extremely linear, even the more open ones.
    Enemy and friendly AI: absolutely rudimentary and generally a detriment to the game.
    Crafting and inventory management: I was not put off by it but didn't enjoy it all that much either.

    Now the parts that sucked some really smelly Ukrainian ass:
    Plot/story: I thought this was just the worst. There are no redeeming qualities here, it's just garbage throughout - especially because so much potential (the "Great Train Adventure" premise) had been squandered by a nonsensical plot. You can't built anything decent on a rotten foundation, so all the good elements of this title fall flat because of the extra-stupid story.
    Voiceover: easily the worst part of the game. With VERY FEW exceptions, voice acting was beyond bad, this is just high-school theater level of bad. And there's A LOT of talking in this title.

    Conclusion: worth picking up for $15-20, but don't expect the level of quality of previous Metro games. All good things eventually come to end, and this is the end of of Metro franchise; I am extremely skeptical that it can be salvaged after this uninspired turd.
    The anti-consumer decision to release exclusively on Epic also affected my rating.

    They took out what made the previous games interesting - the claustrophobic metro tunnels - and replaced them with a generic semi-open world (because even 4A needs to follow trends now, apparently). Combat and stealth both feel worse than in the previous games ('clunky' is the word, I guess). Locations aside from the few tunnel/city locations are pretty generic.

Combat and stealth both feel worse than in the previous games ('clunky' is the word, I guess). Locations aside from the few tunnel/city locations are pretty generic. The open-world elements serve no purpose, there's essentially nothing to do or explore...so why have a semi open-world in the first place? Also, the game is buggy as hell and very prone to crashing. I've lost count of how often I had to restart the game because it randomly froze or crashed to desktop.
    Plus, the story was weak, too. Predictable and unnecessarily contrived. Not on par with the previous games.

    The game is super pretty, though... but that can't save this mess of a game. A waste of time and money, unfortunately.

    4A needs to go back to the drawing board and should re-evaluate what made the first two Metro games so good. They made good games before and I'm sure that they can do it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра после прохождения оставила весьма негативные эмоции, если честно то я ожидал большего. Metro Exodus это совсем не то метро к которому мы привыкли.
    Плюсы:
    Транспорт. Было интересно плавать на лодке и гонять по пустыне на буханке.
    Псевдо открытый мир. Дает возможность побродить и отвлечься от сюжетной линии.
    Модификация оружия интересней прошлых частей.
    Атмосферность
    Несколько локаций с меняющейся климатом и атмосферой в целом.
    На этом к сожалению все.А теперь к минусам
    Минусы:
    Немой Артем и длинные монологи. Порой скучно ждать пока пройдет весь монолог. Ты стоишь и тупо слушаешь тонну текста в котором ты не принимаешь участвия от слова совсем.
    Крайне тупой и заскриптованный AI. Проходил игру дважды и встречал врагов в одних и тех же местах. Конечно с расположением бандитов все понятно, но вот монстры могли бы и перемещаться. Тем более в игре есть режим сложности хардкор рейнджер который подразумевает под собой повторное прохождение,чего уж там прямым текстом написано.
    Графика. Выкрутил графон на максимум, а получил все те же мыльные текстурки и просадки ФПСа. Я не дрочер ФПСа, но не меняющаяся визуальная часть не должна жрать столько ресурсов. Из этого пункта вытекает следующий.
    Оптимизация, стационарник за 3к $ имеет просадки фпс и загружен по самое не балуй хотя графика года эдак 2014.
    Пустой псевдо открытый мир. Мир мы открыли, а вот контентом не наполнили.
    Постоянное надрачивание стелса при прохождении, стелси это стелси то иначе получешь плохую концовку.
    Фактически обязательно лазать по локации и собирать мини квесты которые влияют на концовку, если в прошлых частях ты линейно проходил уровень и мог выполнить по пути мини квест который влияет на концовку то тут ты его уже можешь пропустить.
    Стелс, стелс и еще раз стелс, как же у меня горело от него на хардкоре при повторном прохождении. Бандиты которые берут в рабство людей, но их убивать нельзя потому что стелс. Фанатики которые тебя готовы пришить за фонарик в руках, их тоже нельзя убивать они не виноваты... Ну хоть на Ямантау можно было убивать людоедов хотя странно по логике разработчиков они тоже хорошие просто жизнь заставила.
    В некоторых монологах ловишь фейспалмы, а во время диалога Мельника с Ямантау так я вообще проломил себе лицо от фейспалмом.
    Цена. Цена как за полноценную ААА игру, но сама игра похоже на работу инди студии. Игра того не стоит.
    Последняя локация она же и миссия вообще отдельная тема. Закос под прошлые части метро хотя авторы так старательно пытались от них уйти. Тупо беготня с кучей поноса слов и местами встречающимися библиотекарями.
    Дальше мне лень расписывать каждый пункт так что перечислю минусы в одном предложении. Анимация, физика, урон, стрельба, баги.

I really think they withdrew it from Steam because they knew the immediate reviews would kill sales. Actually, the fact that people have come to metacritic to bomb it just for not being on steam has actually helped them because it masks the legitimate reviews that expose how bad this piece of garbage is.

    It's like they wanted to get the fan market of other genres like open world, crafting, zombies and threw it all in the game but didn't do any of it right. The zombie models are the most uninspired, pathetic character models I've ever seen in an AAA title. Picking up a random brick that isn't around and hucking it? Is this SNES? The lame ass moving from shed to shed through the open world has been done so much better by other titles and in this game kind of left you asking why they even attempted the open world in the first place, cause you're constantly being tunneled. That same stupid thing they had going on in the last one where if you fell in water you'd either come back up or get killed by a monster is done so poorly here too it's maddening. It's often ambiguous as to whether or not you're jumping onto land or water. The crafting is so **** they should have just stuck to weapon modifications and avoided the tediousness of picking everything up when what you can actually do with it is quite limited.

    Then there's the performance issues. The game looks good, but it hitches like **** crazy. It's not even low FPS, it just staggers and stutters all over the place making gunplay infuriating whereas in the previous entries it was fun. The AI is **** retarded, what they do makes no sense. But because the movement system is so bad and **** up from the hitching and general **** animations it's hugely difficult to kill them. And I'm an avid FPSer.

    The save system overwrites quick-saves with auto saves. Did you hear that? So you quick-save in a safe place and then the game overwrites that with an autosave wherein you're getting killed. So then you have to reload the whole level.

    Several times within the first minutes of playing bodies were getting stuck in walls/objects and bouncing around. You can't cancel animations or cutscenes. So if you pick something up and the game goes into cutscene sequence of you looking at it but you're being attacked, you're **** You can't get out of it.

    The game is a **** wreck. I think a lot of the positive reviews are fake, Deep Silver knew they would never survive legitimate Steam reviews but they can make it less clear here by pumping in fake reviews on metacritic.

    You **** up an amazing game, bros. Never been so disappointed in a title. Glad I got it on sale.

It has plenty of dialogues about 10-15 minutes each, every npc just dreams to talk with Artyom but he keeps his silent vow and only grunts and shakes his head occasionally. Enemies, thank the lord, have become irreversibly stupid: all the time they are constantly missing their shots, readily give themselves up to be captured and, the most enjoyable, wait patiently to be murdered, which is kinda interesting. The game has become very easy, in fact so easy that my three yo son who hasn't finished his potty training yet, can beat it on hardcore, no sweat, which made me very happy by that and him too. Stealth became even retardier than LL: enemies in full light can't see Artyon even within 5 feet, for example. Now you can dance behind enemies' backs the most outrageous brakedances and they won't hear - every Metro fan has long dreamt about doin' that. Big beautiful locations with same sheds here and there, outside toilets - you can admire their beauty forever. Shame you can't enter any toilet - poor Artyom only looks at them with longing, cow mooish sight but can't do any poop, which is not good for his health and intestines. Now, in the game there are many ammo and health packs laying around as well as gasmask filters. Forget about lack of resources from first game, nah! Devs got rid of those relics of the past because nothing may disrupt sheer admiration a player will experience upon looking at those nice swamps game spawns here and there; lame and empty desert with three and a half buildings; woods filled to the brim with one, even two bandit outposts. There, you can even enjoy the mushrooms grow - I spent half an hour watching them grow while enemies patiently waited for me to finish my otherworldly admirations, so I could just walk past by them without shooting anything which is obviously nice. Also you can engage in my favourite bland go-fetch quests - they are ABSOLUTELY fascinating with their empty refined shallowness - and you won't be even getting any reward whatsoever upon completing those! How realistic! Simply amazing! How nicely the devs cared about players' sense of pride and accomplishment! Also, it is worth mentioning that the game is filled with game crashing bugs, and bugs a bit smaller than that in such a pleasant way any Stalker fan would feel at home IMMEDIATELY here, warm and welcome. So here I am, filled with joy, getting good ending almost without any kills. But why even kill somebody? Dis is not a game about killings, dis is the game made for you to enjoy its buggy scenerey, grumpy lightnings, empty buldings in complete darkness, running hares, flying corpse-eating crows and dusty sandstorms, while listening to endless and stupid dialogues, undoubtly written by some 12 year old son of one of devs while riding Aurora in circles - but, hold on! - that can be spotted by only the most experienced of gamers out there. And the fact that game end brings you back to your roots, towards bowels of the dark stinky Metro makes this a fitting finale, best and most memorable episode of the whole game. Brav-o-o-o! Expand

    Metro Exodus is not a lot of fun. I'm glad it was so cheap during the recent sale.

    It's one of those "hard" shooters where you die in a couple shots, which would be more fun if this didn't mean the correct choice was always remaining in stealth. Once an enemy camp is alerted of your presence, they instantly all immediately know exactly where you are, even in pitch blackness when you can't even see them in return. Enemies could be having a loud party and you make one tiny bunny hop outside behind a brick wall and WOOP WOOP the alarm bells start ringing and the entire world opens fire on your exact location. It's stupid. This is 2019, and I think we expect a bit better.

    It was tolerable in the other two because they had a great atmosphere, and a great story, and even if the combat was still just as asymmetrical and broken-stealth heavy, at least you being in a subway tunnel meant you had a general idea of which direction to return fire. I even completed them on ranger difficulty because I enjoyed the games so much. But this METRO is much more open world, with tall buildings and wreckage and multiple flanking positions and packs after packs of roaming monsters that are just there to eat up your ammo and make traversing to your next objective take longer.

    It wasn't fun in STALKER in 2007 and it still isn't fun today.

    The trope of the "silent protagonist" has always seemed questionable to me, yeah I get that Valve does that a lot, but you really need to have interesting supporting characters to pull that off. In a *dialog heavy* game where other boring characters are repeatedly brainstorming ideas and *looking for your input* by asking direct questions, it becomes totally ridiculous. "Atryom, go back to base and tell my dad..." "Artyom, what do you think our next move should be". Over and over and over and over. Dull dialog that goes on forever but never says anything much.

    A more patient person, or someone new to shooters might have fun if you turn the difficulty down to 0 and just play it as a run and gun and skip all the dull story. I have better things to do with my time.

The first 2 hours of play was just having the game crash and freeze constantly even though it's been out for months now. The AI is a joke, it is definitely artificial but by no stretch of the imagination intelligent. The thing that I just cannot stand is the idea of having a single save file!! If you get stuck somewhere and the game just decides to save over your only save file.. you're screwed. better restart your last 2 hours of gameplay have fun! in 20 hours of game time I've gotten stuck on scenery at least 30 times already, screw boats and tunnels, some abysmal game design choices a four year old could have told you was a bad idea.. I could go on and on about more problems i have but these outline my personal gripes with the game so far, don't even know if I want to finish the game if it will not allow me to explore at my own pace without punishing me for it.

    TL;DR: If you want a good metro experience, don't play this game. I quit before i finished because I felt i was fighting the game more than the enemies and am more annoyed than i am having fun.

    Most bad games fail due to a lack of resources - mechanics aren't polished, performance is bad, or there's a lot of game breaking issues. Metro Exodus suffers from none of that.

Everything about it is competently put together but in terms of game design I would sincerely argue that Metro Exodus is the worst major AAA game ever released. There is no excuse for a save system that overwrites manual saves with automatic ones, for weapons that feel spongy and punchless in comparison to The Outer Worlds, for mechanics that are consistently and deliberately unfun in as many ways as could be conceived.

    Dark Souls is a well designed game that happens to be difficult. Metro eschews actual game design in favor of an obsession with masochism that makes System Shock 2 look player friendly. The only redeeming point here is dark nights with raytracing, as a video game you'd be hard pressed to come up with a more spectacular failure than Metro Exodus. Play Prey 2017 or The Evil Within 2 instead.

I was a big fan of original books and first two games, but did hesitate to buy a new one till 08.2019. Although game was positioned as AAA and I personally didn't experience any technical issues, i was disappointed. Such a waste of money and time. Dead and dumb dialogs. interesting story turned into set of cliches. Graphics is good as an RTX demo, but it is absolutely useless in gameplay reanimation. Through all of the game I never lost a feeling that someone tried to save money on this title. Want to drive a car? Sure, but there will be only ONE!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - AI is pathetic. I have gone from being half a metre away from a turkey and not detecting myself or from being far away and super hidden and being detected by all the enemies in the area. The most pathetic thing is surrender. I've gone from killing 3 men, staying 4 alive and having me surrounded and surrendering all 4 at once. Then, in addition, to go out to another zone and see 2 enemies more arms in high

    - Artyom's movement is slow, clumsy and feels of the past generation. I don't think it's normal that in a 2019 game you get caught in a pixel that protrudes from a branch of a tree, or that you get close to a fence or wall, you jump and in the middle of the jump you put the animation of a step off. Or worse, don't hook the movement to the first one and you have to jump 2 or 3 times to be caught by the climb. In that sense it is very outdated. I'd also like to know which genius came up with the same button to duck as to collect ammunition from weapons. It's great to be covered, want to take bullets from a corpse next to you, don't catch the action and stand up, making A-dies if you're in a B-fire- you get caught.

    - The story doesn't hold up, nor does it have a head or a foot, especially because of the way certain situations are presented to you. It is not normal that in the part of the sect, you enter the church as if it were a cinema with everyone watching and 30 seconds later you are hostile to everyone for no apparent reason, when you have been shot 3 seconds before helpless from a boat. Miller doesn't make sense, it goes from wanting you to die to helping you 3 times in each encounter with him. The inhibitors are ridiculous.

    - The behavior of the allies is so cutrísimo, again belongs to the last generation. Those infinite conversations are a pain in the ass, you walk away from one who is giving you the badge and you look from afar and keep talking to you. Also, as I say the conversations are a pain in the ass and very chaotic, there can be 2 or 3 conversations at the same time, making you not know anything.

    - The sound is MALISIMO. The weapons that sound like toys are joined by a 3D sound, no matter how much atmosphere I say it has, non-existent. The audio mix is painful, and the sound controller can't fix it. It can't be that being next to an npc, you don't hear him just because the ambient sound is heard more. It's been years since I had to put the subtitles to find out something.

    - Of graphics I don't see it SO pointer. I play it on an Xbox One X with a NU8005 55", calibrated meniculously and the game looks BAD. The HDR is implemented like the ass. The gamma slider is rotary. The textures are some really good and some really bad. The facial modeling is very bad, the faces are not bad, but they are very inexpressive and in the secondary characters the faces are very bad. Also the lighting on the faces is very dull, and in a game where there are so many cinematic characters in the foreground is lost a lot of quality. I won't compare it to RDR2, the faces of Crysis 3 or Mass Effect 3 are much better. The rest, which is the lighting, particles, polygonal charge, etc because the same thing, there are very good moments and other very bad ones.

    - It has TOO many cinematic scenes, and the worst thing is that they are almost all scenes without any interest and quite badly performed and repetitive. Situations that you're controlling your game and suddenly something happens and you stay as "but let me control the **** everything to end up with Artyom being saved to the limit by an npc that grabs his arm, either underwater, when hitting a jump or fall somewhere.

    - I don't think the atmosphere is half as good as 2033 and Last Light.

    In short, a game very outdated in the playable that has been given an injection of graphics and a fist of open world and crafting and track. I hope it gets better but I think it's the first big disappointment of the year.

    Консольные уши торчат изо всех щелей. Объясните разработчикам, что FOV в PC играх обычно не меньше 65. А наличие 104 кнопок на клавиатуре, не означает, что надо их все задействовать и разбрасывать. Что молчаливый герой это нихрена не круто. Что битвы с боссом, завязанные на скриптах это отстой. Что плюющие противники этой самый раздражающий элемент игры.
    Критические и очень серьёзные баги, которые до сих пор не пофиксили. До сих пор!! Я из-за них тупо не могу играть дальше они сохраняться. А эти дауны не сделали ручное сохраните в нескольких файлах. Пришлось качать сохранения и запускать следующую главу. Потому что игра в итоге повредила все сохранения.
    Всратая история и атмосфера. Мир теперь выглядит как вселенная Mad Max. Ничего общего с постсоветским пространством. Отвратительное и нелогичное управление. Неудобная навигация. Чуваки стреляющие на 1.5 километра без прицела это конечно дно. Если противник не может тебя достать, он плюется, кидается и т.д. это уж совсем откравенная халтура. Иногда при загрузке сохранения, неожиданно начинается сирена.

    -Game cant decide if its on rails or open world.
    -Seriously poorly conceived boss fights
    -The few big climactic scenes were lackluster, yawn.
    -Keybinding system is broken
    -Enemy difficulty determined exclusively by hit-points, no strategy or interesting AI components. Just bang away on it until its dead.
    -row boats were a nightmare (so I guess some realism there even if unintended)
    -buggy, crashed about 5-6 times during play with no particular reason why, just dumps to the desktop occasionally, my body vanished about half way through game, so played the last half without being able to see my characters hands.
    -melee combat was so poorly designed I dont have words to describe it. Melee felt like a game from 20 years ago.
    -save system is a bit douche baggy

    I did not have any expectations from this game as I have not played previous iterations. I have however played every other post-apocalyptic game out there and this falls far short of even old games like Fallout 3 or Stalker . Overall for the money this is a pass. For $10-15 and 20 hours to kill, go for it. $80 is a rip off imo. plus another $30 for DLC, maybe its worth $30 total with updates and DLC. Overall I felt frustrated playing this game, it constantly wrestled you out of game-play breaking immersion which is a cardinal sin. Worse many of these unavoidable cut-scenes and story elements were action based and there is no reason why the player should have to put down the controls and watch the game do things for you.

    Now I have to go replay the stalker series just to get the bad taste of this game out of my mouth. I may need to play the original Metro just for comparison, but all in I all thought this game sucked. Kinda like a high-school mean-girl, she aint pretty, she just looks that way,

    So, how's the game itself? Just barely fun, it's short, the guns are pretty much recycled, the enemies too, the same core gameplay, same engine (IT'S ALMOST A DECADE OLD NOW), pretty handholdy and most of all, the game completely lacks tension, in the first minutes you get attacked, bit, bludgeoned, shot, left without a mask but nah don't worry, you're pretty much superman now.
    Artyom used to be the underdog hero and Metro used to be gritty, now it's pretty much russian Harry Potter.

    Gamers this day and age are completely braindead, this game's ratings shows, it just shat on the entire lore and world it took so much time to build, people see cool graphics and effects, pretty guns that make nice sounds and say "yeah definitively a 7", this game is **** it does not belong in the metro series and if you are willing to give this positive ratings and encourage lazy crap like this, congratulations, you're the one to blame for the state of gaming right now so shut the **** up when companies release crap games, you encouraged it.

    Игра получилась унылая и вялая, от которой все ждали нечто большее. А резкое ограничение игровых площадок, пошло только не на пользу игре.

    Ich habe es durchgespielt.
    Um es kurz zu machen:
    Keine Empfehlung. Es ist das reinste Scriptevent Massaker. Und die mini open worlds, die in dem Spiel aneinander gereiht sind funktionieren schlicht nicht. Für Leute die in ihrem Leben noch nicht viele Videospiel gespielt haben ist das vielleicht was. Aber mir fallen da einfach viel zu viele Fehler, Ungereimtheiten und Nachlässigkeiten

    Alles in allem bin ich enttäuscht.
    Bei manchen Designentscheidungen kann man sich echt nur an den Kopf fassen.

    Wouldn't even bother pirating this game. It's generic, boring, broken and tainted with anti consumer practices. If this is the kind of generic crap that is going to champion the epic store exclusive page, a store may I remind you that doesn't even have a shopping cart or search feature, then they won't go very far. Wait for it to hit steam, discount to 5$ with all the DLC and hopefully bugWouldn't even bother pirating this game. It's generic, boring, broken and tainted with anti consumer practices.

    Terrible game. Just awful. Very buggy game. Won't start half the time. Gameplay is very bland.

    Metro Exodus is a mishmash of borrowed ideas that falls short of creating a worthy sequel, while holding tight to the previous mistakes of the series.

    Metro Exodus is a funny, visually stunning shooter with a diverse environment and opponents and a great atmosphere. [Issue#293]

    Metro has always been a very niche game series with poor storytelling, broken stealth and unsatisfying shooting mechanics, which are offset by original setting. The same is true for Exodus, although it also adds "pointless open world" to the pile. [Issue#236, p.28]
