    "More of the same" describes Exodus rather accurately. Weapons and gameplay are not anything you haven't seen before with the Redux titles and graphically Exodus does not really evolve from the Redux titles either - you'll be hard pressed to see a significant visual upgrade.

Weapons and gameplay are not anything you haven't seen before with the Redux titles and graphically Exodus does not really evolve from the Redux titles either - you'll be hard pressed to see a significant visual upgrade. The game itself is merely "fine", following Artyom on yet another slog facing mostly the same thing you have done before only this time you get to ride a train and go above ground a lot more.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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 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).    … Expand

    Game is not bad but it's not good either it's somewhat generic and has to many annoying things that give it 4/10 score from me.
    It's a Metro game that is rushed, non optimized has way to many small bugs, frame drops, no real PC settings or controls graphics are average at extreme settings, monster design is blank in both their visuals animation and move sets. IA is generally bad and random, open world looks interesting but is dull and not really open, NPCs talk for ages but the guy who should talk is mute even in conversations, UI is garbage, faces and NPC and general animations are 2012. You are just running around without any good reason story is blank and it lacks everything that made METRO games good. Opening seams to be made to look good and story driven but it was just making me and most of other people i know play it quit the game on the start. No it does not run well on 1060 1070 1080 2060 2080 it has some frame stutters even on RTX Quadro 8000 i use for work. System specs do not mater for this game all you need is 8-16 GB ram 1050 ti+ and any quad core and put it on ultra/extreme you will the same experience. As for ray tracing welp none cares about that. Maybe patches will fix some of the issues and even then it could maybe get 5/10 i don't think they can fix animations graphics on faces and monsters and so many bugs and UI/PCc controls c-rap in time to make it to 6/10 which is where it would max out with everything that is fixable fixed. maybe 6/10 just maybe then for now 4/10 finish uninstall and make sure that next time I get hyped about anything i think twice or wait for crack to test as reviews are welp people who don't even seam to play the games or are sponsored etc.

    UI

    Great graphics, great gunplay and controls. Nice interface without any clutter, and very immersive.
    However, I aborted after a few hours for the following reasons:
    - Story not interesting enough to me.
    - Bad character models, bad voice acting, poor dialog

    I remember the days when I played the first edition of Metro 2033. What a terrible (in positive sense!) PC gaming experience it was, with fully rebindable keys, marred only by the stupidest of the stupid atrocious console vomit save system, the checkpoint.
    You cured somewhat this plague, by implementing a half-baked saving system with F5/F9 which function only OUTSIDE OF COMBAT.

    You cured somewhat this plague, by implementing a half-baked saving system with F5/F9 which function only OUTSIDE OF COMBAT.
    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.

    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.

    Some where between meh and ffs really. Going in to the game I really wanted it to be better then what I got. The major problem is Pacing the game tends to bore the living **** out of a player forcing you to sit through overly long dialog scenes and unskippable cut scenes in the first 20minutes of the game alone you'll play for only one or two minutes before being forced to sit through an extremely lengthy conversation that is not skippable. Again this goes right back to Pacing which occurs throughout the entirety of the game. Though there are occasions such as the Admiral where a google search was required to find how to progress and it was not sit down and listen to this **** spouting madman to get a door to open but rather ignore him and cut the line to drop the ladder hidden behind him which No Indicator is provided your just supposed to know its there! This happens throughout the entirety of the game again not providing a visual indication of direction aside from the very last mission that gives atleast a sense of intended direction using a simple visual queue of power lines or ropes tide from one point to another.
    My next point is the amount of cliches in this game is just comedic as much as it is annoying and frustrating. The primary of which is upon entering Taiga where all of your gear that you spent hours collecting is stripped away from you leaving you feeling like you just got slapped in the face by devs.
    Speaking of collecting upgrades while it can feel rewarding for the most part others felt useless well most felt useless and others made you wander when do you use it without any kind of mission briefing that would indicate which upgrades would be preferred over others means your always going to take the same two extended filters and ammo harness. While the rest never got used at all. Instead of having these be upgrades that may all be equipped further extending all of your abilities holding more ammo, more throwables and more filters/health they are all separate and individual upgrades!
    Next the whole flash light and nightvision thing is well over done and not fine tuned enough. The night vision has the gamma and contrast of a world war 2 Gen1/Gen2 NOD and not something that would be found post 1998-2004 Again this suffers the most from the inability to use multiple upgrades simultaneously meaning that Night Vision usage drains the battery alot faster requiring frequent re-charging. All the while using NV in any out side area means a blinding light coming from the skybox this might have been so bad if the Moon light source was not so close to the world space even having the NV-Amplifier upgrade shows little improvement resulting in a simple bypass at the cost of immersion by just cranking up the ingame brightness to full during the night time or any interior cell.
    This leads me to the next issue, In game settings or should I say the Lack Of In Game Settings such simple things light Contrast and Gamma but the worst culprit is the inability to turn on Windowed Mode A Long Standing Issue that has been in Every Single Metro Game! Least but surly not the last is save points where being limited to a single save condition is well I lack a better word the appalling. A General sentiment that can be used multiple times through the entire game especially when you see unkillable npc's or droves of them that just keep spawning and/or respawning so quick that the feeling of simply turning around to try and run, open a door, cut a rope or any other means of escape brings feelings of certain death only to have that adrenaline high abruptly ended by 10-20 minutes of ****tery in the form of long drawn out boring ass conversations where the Protagonist never speaks and then forced to sit there or as I did got up and went to sleep, took a nap, did dishes, feed the dog, put the dishes away, painted a room, watched paint dry in said room or took a **** instead of listening to! AGAIN PACING In this game is horrible at best and nonexistent at worst. All the while working up to a bad ending im sure like so many others felt the conditions of which are also just pathetic and in order to achieve a good ending you basically Cant Kill Anyone is like saying why bother playing the ****ing game then!? The emotional pay off for playing the game is you died she lived but she hates you ohh well you dont care cause Your Dead! Is by far the worst possible conclusion to an otherwise tedious endeavor into the Metro Series which doesn't even make sense in the first place as an Idea since the Half Life of Plutonium 239 THE MAIN INGREDIENT in Nuclear weapons the world over since the 1920s is over 20,000Years not 20-30years as the game would lead us to believe unlike a certain Nuclear Power Plant which should be using a much different Isotope with a massively shorter half life.

    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.    … Expand

    2) Обширные локации с интересным наполнением (постройки, ландшафт).
    3) Переносной чемоданчик для крафта и сборки оружия для любой ситуаций - очень классное решение!

    Минусы:
    1) Артем снова молчит, а ведь к нему не раз обращаются с серьезным разговором. И на фоне всех этих обращений - молчание протагониста выглядит совсем тупо.
    2) Хоть в игре есть условно "открытый мир", но все действия в этих локациях связанны с сюжетом настолько же прямые, как и рельсы по которым едет Аврора. Так же невозможность выбора действия, я считаю идиотским решением - как пример: убедить Мельника взять мать и дочку с собой на уровне Волга.
    3) Изменение внешности и голоса Артема,Анны и Мельника. Лучше бы оставили как в Last Light - там и голоса приятные и внешность знакомая. Нового Мельника я вообще бы не узнал пока прямо в лоб не сказали - совершенно не похож на себя.
    Добавьте к этому финальный ролик в плохой концовке в которой есть и Бурбон (которого упоминали в Last Light на уровне "Павел", что он выжил) и Хан. Их голоса, ну просто ужасны...
    4) Некоторые враги при атаке могут пройти/ударить через текстуру. К примеру: демон при налете на меня просто проигнорировал столб контактной сети. Присутствует летающая в воздухе трава и т.п. - одним словом: игре нужны патчи!
    5) Нелепость сюжета с Ямантау и наивность Мельника - поверить словам министра - хороший полковник. Тут я ловил один фейспалм за другим.
    6) Локация "Мертвый город" - стал для меня отдушиной - ибо в игре под названием Метро, не хватало, как раз таки, метро. Ко всему еще, именно этот уровень я считаю самым лучшим как по атмосферности ужаса, тотальной пустоты в замерзшем городе. Именно этой атмосферы и не хватало всей игре.
    7) Исследовать уровни надо лишь ради расходников, ибо торговцев с пульками в игре нету. Нет никаких поощрений за исследование - разве что апгрейды для брони. И то - большая часть апгрейдов находится на Волге.

    В итоге мы имеем игру, которая отстает от Last Light на два шага. Озвучка в игре - ужасна. Игра делалась с закосом на западного игрока. Из всех уровней - зацепил только мертвый город. ИИ у противников туповат. Сюжет - так себе, начало и вовсе тупое. Присутствуют баги и плохая оптимизация. Одним словом - разочарование. Я ожидал от этой игры большего, ибо 20 часов геймплея за 2000 со всем тем, что я описал выше - как то не выкупает себя. Увы, но это однозначно не игра года.    … Expand

    The last 2 metro releases were pretty much great to play, I played both & Loved them & sadly though I got this next game in the series. I think it's safe to say that they have lost their way in how they developed this game. here are my 'OWN' mainly Bad but a couple Good thoughts on the game :

    Graphics : they're ok but underwelming and at the same time great but everything is hard to see within the world, everything blends in with other things it's just weird and dull. Underground or in tunnels is very good though !!

    Sound: Awful NPC voices at times and the music is pretty much Meh... em and well Meh...

    Performance: Never had any issues, no crashes, bugs that I can see.

    Storyline: jeez I've never ever been so bored (apart from fallout 76) with a story. It's just sooooooooo Utterly boring to wait and listen to the Npc's talking utter crap at times.. oh and I found my first cassette tape to play and I immediately sat back and thought OMFG this is fallout 76 holotapes. JEEEEZ. So awful, just awful storyline.

    Fighting: I enjoy the fps side of the game although those pack animals that roam around in the evening in 3-7 packs are a pain.

    Crafting: It's basic but ok, nothing special

    Open world: Well it's not really an open world it can get quite linear which actually leads to (Again) boredom.

    I'm just lost for words and While I want to say it's great, It's NOT. At best this is a maybe 4/10 regarding fps side but as for the rest it's just an utterly Boring and Painfully attempt at changing what the 'Metro Series'is about and has FAILED.

    £10-15 Game at best Imho, Hope this helps anyone considering in paying for this.

    Do not look at 10/10 reviews they in my opinion are utter utter nonsense & possibly paid reviews , some kids/fanboys etc.. this is not a 10/10 game.

    Also some users on here have said they've posted reviews and they have been deleted true/false I don't know but It is not uncommon for Companies to use this awful practice.

    anyway cheers guys/girls hope this review gave you a perspective. :D    … Expand

    Cons:
    -Way too much dialog and inescapable cut-scenes, seriously about 50% of the game is actual game-play, the other 50 reading and listening to endless dialog, I got to the point where i would just get up and go do something else while the endless dialogs played out. Thats an epic fail imo
    -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,    … Expand

Sure, the previous Metro games were linear shooters, but they put you in tight, claustrophobic quarters that had a certain atmosphere to them that Exodus can't seem to match in it's more expansive settings. The story is OK, but generally doesn't feel up to par with other metro games; as noted above, the atmosphere that made previous entrants feel special is missing. Exodus feels poorly optimized for PC but generally runs well on my admittedly beefy gaming PC, however, I've already encountered a game breaking save file bug that's forced me to restart from square one. I also feel like it's worth noting the only reason I have the game is because I pre-ordered it on Steam before it was pulled, If I hadn't already payed for the game I wouldn't be playing it because I don't want to support the fragmentation of the PC market with timed exclusives and I simply can't support the way Deep Silver is doing business with Epic Games.

    tl;dr: Overall, while not a bad game, it's not worth the current $50/$60 price tag. You would be far better served waiting for it to come back to steam and pick it up with it's DLC on a steep discount if you're a PC gamer. I would also suggest waiting or abstaining if you can to send a message to Deep Silver that the PC market won't stand for the sort of behavior that gets a pass in the console gaming world, there are plenty of games out from other publishers that respect their customers.    … Expand

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

    Multiple instances of crouching perfectly still with the reticle directly on an enemies head and subsequently missing the headshot - fully clean weapon; another annoying mechanic.
    Not a lot to do in the "open world" except shoot up a camp of enemies and loot an item - most of the time nothing significant and a waste of time.
    Even with side quests and exploring all question marks on the maps plus some additional exploration the game felt incredibly short which would be fine if the game were cheaper.
    The transition into what I am assuming are cutscenes (fps drops to 31-33 during them) was very choppy, almost like the game froze for a second as they changed from in game to the pre-rendered video.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Из плюсов игры можно выделить отличную работу художников, а так же внимание к деталям. Так же музыку которая навевает ностальгию. Средняя возможность кастомизации предметов и слабый, но все таки крафт, но все равно хорошо когда такое есть, чем когда такого нет. Неплохая озвучка. А все остальное по игре один сплошной минус и халтура:
    1) Сюжет. Несмотря на то, что по сюжету вселенной прошло 20-ть лет после конца света, на лицо полная деградация и падение нравов, люди из образованных (хотя бы 9-ть классов) скатились в дремучую деревню это все равно, что те представители, которые сейчас сидят в сети, зная все и вся и разбираясь во всем, через двадцать лет начнут молиться сому и поехавшему человеку с именем Селантий это скорее претензия ко всей серии книг Глуховского, но исходя из этой парадигмы и идет развитие, оно все такое, атмосфера напоминает аркхем асилум, где все сошли с ума и деградировали. ГГ немой мальчик на побегушках, без права выбора, которым по сути пользуются все кому не лень, лицемерно изображая закадычных друзей, но оправляя решать самоубийственные задания в одиночку. Персонажи как и сюжет шаблонные и придуманы на коленке, хотя одержимая свои мужем жена ГГ еще более менее прикольная, хотя он крутой всех вокруг мочит в одиночку, да и вокруг грязные безумцы и вся жизнь в подземелье провела, наверное тоже тронулась.
    2) Мир. Мир на 95-99% состоит из врагов, аля безумный макс и бедных нестрашных инвалидов гулей. Кругом одни безумцы и все по уши в дерьме.
    3) ИИ. Самый тупой ИИ за последнее время мной виданный, хотя эти ребята свояли сталкер с интересными перестрелками, но тут же стелс - нафик ненужный, мир слишком безумен и врагов кругом слишком много чтобы вжиться в стелс. Большинство врагов тебя не видят в упор и начинают агриться когда стреляешь в них, не меняя позиции, граны и молотовы тоже не используют, даже на супер сложности.
    4) Геймплей. Слабый сюжет должен компенсироваться гейплеем, а вот нет, количество диалогов которые нельзя пропустить и вникай в это деньги уплочены, стань сомелье вторичности, может понравиться. Ходи по рельсам заданий, с отвратительно реализованной стрельбой в тупых болванчиков и любуйся работой художников.
    Можно еще под стелсом вырубать злодеев с кулака толпами, под звук удара из старых индийских фильмов - на суперсложности, не хватает только крика "Кия". С небольшими лирическим отступлениями, в виде покатушек на таблетке или отпугиванием тараканов фонариком.
    5) Графика. Обилие косметики в игре, но движок то старый с отвратительная анимацией. Нас не обманешь. Как будто старую бабку накачали гормонами и накрасили косметикой и заставили играть молодуху в молодежном сериале. От чего мой компьютер неплохо так нагрузился.
    6) Оптимизация. Сыровато, есть баги    … Expand

    Been a huge fan of the series, as well as the STALKER games in which it pays homeage to. I still have all those (and those bellow) installed in fact.

    That said, I am disappointed with this game. It could have been so much more - the chance to unleash the potential of the Metro universe, to surpass the STALKER series which was not been possible before given its constrained budget.

    That said, I am disappointed with this game. It could have been so much more - the chance to unleash the potential of the Metro universe, to surpass the STALKER series which was not been possible before given its constrained budget. Unfortunately, it fails badly - too much focus on graphics and the push towards RTX that it misses the mark entirely. It became a 'very' average shooter in a bright gleaming package. Nothing more

    P.S. Im surprised that youtubers dont even talk about these, goes to show that they're merely reviewers, and not real players. And no, Anthem and such games do not make you an FPS fan. Lets look at these things objectively.

    I have been a gamer since, i know what the FPS renaissance looked like:

    -Far Cry 1, et al.
    -Crysis 1 and warhead (the rest are junk)
    -Doom 3, et al.
    -Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, et al.
    -Metro, et al.
    -Fear 1 (the others were garbage)
    -Fallout 3 and 4
    -Mass Effect 1,2,3 (andromeda is garbage)
    -Unreal Engine games
    -MUCH MORE

    I know what i'm talking about.

    Pros:
    -Immerserive atmosphere brought about by its graphics.
    -Graphics. Simply the best looking FPS to date. Better than a modded Cryengine 1 which you can push via the ini file.
    -A decent crafting system.
    -Dynamic weather which was adapted from Stalker games.
    -Good intent on storytelling and voice acting, though a bit exaggerated on the english version.

    Cons: READ CAREFULLY.
    -Its a surprisingly linear and 'empty' experience despite its huge world.
    -Forcefully sluggish narrative that feels more dragging than immersive.
    -It feels more of a glorified tech demo for the RTX line, rather than a polished game.
    -A very shallow narrative, that questions logic and character choices when trying to immerse yourself in the world. Eg. Mute protagonist, dialogue choices, character choices, circumstances given your actions.
    -Confusing/Questionable morality system that FORCES you not to use your guns to get the good ending. You kill too many enemies = your companion dies, because you failed to pull the trigger at the end? Ehh? Hence, making run-and-gun feeling punishable instead of rewarding.
    -AI is dead on arrival. I mean that quite literally. Its the worst i have ever seen in this series. Enemies lining up to get shot, stand not reacting to you, not reacting to light, etc. This is what separated STALKER (its predecessor and core influence) from the rest. It was a 'real' world via A-LIfe. This game isnt, and the more you play the more it slaps youi in the face with that fact.
    -Gunplay is broken. I have enemies sniping me with a burst pistol from 2km away, and you can see their bullets trails traveling in a straight line. Wtf. I have a sniper that either drops an enemy on the floor in 1 hit, or tosses him 20m from his current position.
    -Clipping issues and glitches.
    -Enemy hit response to projectiles feels noticeable odd. Assault rifles feel weak.
    -Very limiting save mechanics.

    Metro and STALKER are great games in their own respective ways, but Metro Exodus is not. Mechanics that work inside a tunnel - will not work in an open world. It has so many titles in which it was supposed to learn from - yet it blindly trudges along waiving its shiny new paintjob.    … Expand

    - The medkit system is **** The game doesn't give you a station to work on/craft stuff for the first missions and i found myself in a situation where i had to finish the church mission with almost 0 health because i didn't had any medkits left and i had absolutely no way to craft them . For me this is a big NO NO. I can't understand how a team of developers didn't think about this while working on the first missions of the game..
    - The dialogue is way too much and there are a lot of situations where the characters talk at the same time and you can't quite understand what they are saying. If you give me a piece of dialogue make sure i can hear it clearly..
    - The game seems poorly optmised. Although the graphics aren't that high (compared to games like AC Oddysey, Doom etc ) and although i have a decent configuration (I5 6400,GTX 960 MSI 4G,12 G Ram) the game missions took a long time to load sometimes even crashing...

    And these issues where just for the first hour of gameplay.I don't even want to think what other issues would have existed if i continued playing the game to the full end.

    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.    … Expand

    - 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

The mind games of the other beings that seems to mess with Artyom are pretty much nonexistent in this game or just seems like a side show. They made combat a lot easier with massive amounts of ammo and weps everywhere compared to the previous games as well.

    This game is VERY poorly optimized for PC as well. Low frame rates even with a GTX 1080 Ti a 8th gen i7 and 32 GB of ram. Many bugs seem to be in the game graphically as well.

    Also the fact that a week after i preorded it on Steam they pulled it from Steam was pretty much the last nail in the coffin for me. Epic games launcher is a god awful pile of trash with terrible security (I have been getting attempted login alerts since their massive security breach on my account.) it took them A MONTH to resolve the issue with my account and reset the password as well as add in Email authentication.

    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).

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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ставлю 3 бала только за красиво плескающуюся воду в стакане (Шикарная физика жидкости внутри емкости.), и за саундтрек. Композитор единственный кто старался при работе над игрой. Так это убогий однообразный шутер (И ни разу не шедевр.), с никакущей стрельбой (Ощущение от оружия, и система отображения повреждений дно.). Кучей гринда на более менее крупных (Примерно как в первом Crysis-Far Cry, хотя местные зоны чуть меньше.), но довольно пустынных локациях, практически полностью лишенных интересных мест. Из игры убрали систему торговли, исчезло ощущения опасности которое было при вылазках на поверхность (Оно достигалось, постоянной нехваткой воздуха, кучей тварей и прочих опасностей, которые приходилось преодолевать игроку. Тут же, можно тупо почти от всего убежать.), атмосфера с которой и так было туго ещё в предыдущей части, практически сошла на нет. Сюжетные миссии не блещут проработкой и оригинальностью, уровни с заброшенной станцией, библиотекой, первой вылазкой на поверхность, и останкино, в разы лучше всех миссий Exodus. Сюжет к слову, представляет из себя набор шизофренического, и жутко нелогичного русофобного бреда (Увы из за ограниченного объема рецензии, я не могу его описать.), с посредственными диалогами и персонажами, хотя погибшего Мельника (Несмотря на то что он старый маразматик.), всё же жаль, больше чем того же главного героя. Который опять молчит в процессе миссий, но при этом вовсю болтает на экранах загрузки, "гениально"! Графика тоже не блещет, текстуры немногим лучше чем в предыдущей части, а детализация уровней оставляет желать лучшего. Ах да, обещанный Rtx глючное дерьмо, которое просто затемняет картинку. Однако малолетние, умственно отсталые русофобные фанатики Глуховского, всё равно будут доказывать что Metro Exodus это шедевр (Который они в силу "большого ума", уже ставят выше Stalker 2, который не представлен даже в виде скриншотов.), ни разу не русофобия, и вообще лучшая игра 2019 года. Здесь я привел лишь малую часть минусов Exodus, даже основные не влезут. До смешного, разработчики наивно полагают, что стражи сражающиеся с кикиморами, (Про Skyrim мир которого в 15 раз больше Exodus, где хищники охотились на травоядных, мы не слышали.), или лагеря бандитов с крафтом, действительно смогут кого то удивить. Ну ну. Лучше бы сюжет нормальный написали, да над миссиями поработали. P.s Те кто ставят 0 балов, только из за EpicStore, полные идиоты, торговая площадка никак не связана с реальными минусами игры, будь она хорошей, её можно было купить даже в Uplay. P.s.s Иронично что люди восторгающиеся такими проектами, возмущаются миссией в аэропорту из Mw 2, и сюжетной компанией Coh 2, данные игры хотя бы не создавались людьми из Снг, и в них не было такого градуса русофобии как здесь.

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.

I am a big fan of the previous titles as well as the first book (the second one sucked as the cash cow it was).

    I have not finished the thing yet, but I consider this as a heads up to everybody who was as hyped as I was.

    Let's start with the good:
    1. The story is sort of intriguing. It's not genius, but I suppose it is the only thing keeping me going at the moment, as I've have not played/read a good post-apocalyptic (let alone Russian) sci-fi in a while.

    2. I somewhat like the old-style quest tracking, where the game does not really hold your hand (for the most part) as what you are supposed to do and how. Although tracking side-quests in your diary would help.

    3. the weapon system is pretty neat. You can customise weapons however you like (and on the go) and need to keep them clean in order to work properly. Weapons, in general, are fun to shoot. Handling and sound look immersive and realistic.

    Then comes the rest.
    1. First off the optimisation is terrible with framerates fluctuating between 30-100 fps on a fairly beefed up PC.

    2. Main characters are so f/ing annoying! Dialogues are so poorly written and the (over-)acting is laughable at best. Moreover, all the NPCs are cheering for you or hugging you all the time - don't know what kind of fantasy is being fulfilled there.

    3. The atmosphere of Metro is mostly gone. The environment is empty and dull and looks like an offspring of Stalker but not in a good way. I have not felt any kind of suspense during my 6 hours of the playthrough.

    4. Movement is so goddamn clunky and never works properly (being stuck on the geometry all the time, falling from ledges, climbing animation looks like from the 90s etc)

    5. Fighting - apart from the weapon mechanics as described above- is just horrible. AI is plain stupid and cheats at the same time, which further contributes to the completely broken stealth system. On hardcore difficulty, the game is way too hard to be enjoyable (also thanks to the scarcity of ammo), while being too easy on normal.

    6. Graphics look like 7 years ago.

    My recommendation is to wait for a sale. Maybe they will polish this into something playable by then.    … Expand

    Пройдя игру сложилось следующее мнение:
    Давайте по пунктам:
    + Неплохая графика + Интересная задумка - Если сравнить то что показали на Е3 и "релизную" часть, то можно увидеть даунгрейд графики и анимации. - Все что было в предыдущих частях забыто напрочь, связь просто не прослеживается и логика тоже. - Попытка копировать: S.T.A.L.K.E.R, MassEffect, Rage, Fallout, Ghost Recon. -    Пройдя игру сложилось следующее мнение:

    - Очень часто не срабатывающие скрипты, как следствие прохождение заново. ( и не дай бог если чекпоинт сработал после того как накрылся скрипт )
    - Просто ужасная орфография в субтитрах и записках (ошибка на ошибке), и это игра ААА?
    - Текстурные баги и баги AI, вылеты, зависания.
    - Стрельба и поведение оружия на уровне первых игр серии( и где тут прорыв как многие пишут не понятно)
    - Не говорящий Артем из GTA3 и HalfLife, для игры 2019 года это выглядит как то странно.
    - Зачем столько модификаций оружия если стрелять приходится пару раз за всю игру, и то толко там где дают пострелять. А в остальное время стелс стелс стелс...(и да!!! стелс перенесен из предыдущих частей и просто не работает на текущей концепции), не ну вы конечно может открыть огонь но это закончится загрузкой чекпоинта (если говорить про максимальный режим сложности).
    - Завышенные системные требования (мало что поменялось с предыдущих частей в графике, и да у меня GTX 1080)
    - От METRO осталось только название и первые 20 мин игры во вступление.
    - Про Steam... лично мое мнение - ее специально от туда выпилили что бы не схватить "хейта" от ужасного исполнения релизной части игры, т.к. все похоже на то что разработчик просто не успел доделать релиз и выпустил его сырым.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to begin... Graphics. Altho this game's graphics have been inflated by "reviewers" all over the net, because of its RTX feature, I find graphics to be not easy on the eye, to feel outdated. I do not own an RTX graphics card, but at 1440p ultra, this game outta be more realistic. Animation is poor, there were many outright bugs with terrain, some really blurry textures in open world as well as inside buildings, notably walls, bricks, stones etc. I cant figure how digital foundry and few others reviews about graphics could possibly be so damn encouraging.

    Plot... The games story feels like some 3rd grade writer idea of a good story. If the writer had put more work onto it, it coulda feel good. Story and the characters that feel it are so plastic, so uninteresting, that it makes me sick to my stomach. Not once throughout the play did I have a feeling for any of the chars, fear for their safety or emotion for them possibly getting killed was lacking. This is ofc because you cant relate to characters that has no character at all. Even the main ones, most important to the story, they all feel like dolls, with a tape recorder inside their body, that has bad script playing. And the fact that the main character hasnt said a word throughout the gameplay part of the experience is telling. It just feels so wrong. Many times Artyom was asked of opinion, or just player would feel like there is something he should say, but he is totally silent. Retarded decision by devs if you ask me.

    The sound in game isnt anything special. Gunshots hurts my ears. The voice of characters telling uninteresting stories, the bad acting of bad russian accent its all... so... disappointing.

    Worst part, for me, was the gameplay. AI is so screwed. Its 2019. And yet, you go on a silent killing spree, you can run to your target, it wont hear you. You can "silent" kill a target that speaks to another NPC in the middle of conversation, while they sit few meters from each other, under a light, and while doing so you will hear the noise from hand killing the NPC, the NPC's last breaths, but the companion NPC will not give a **** AI of zombies and mutants is story of its own. The rocktrowing NPC... Someone mind explaining why would he trow a rock, or a brick, at certain distance, forever??? And it gets worse... He will do so in a manner that you can avoid each and every trow. When they are on a path, you can walk behind them, get so close, shoot around them, and they will not stop to wonder: "hey, what is this **** im gonna turn around and eat it!". Its one of worst "tripple A" game AI's ive seen in my life.

    Not to make a novel out of this... I give this game a 3/10. Those 3 points goes to the franchise, I used to love, so for respect for former work I can give 3. But if this was brand new game, without RTX support, I can guarantee you it would get the same score from all major reviewers. Well, im off to bed, hope I wont dream the scarily stupid AI from the game.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    Bad character design, sometimes it feels like you are playing some kind of Saints Row 4 or Borderlands and not a serious Post-apocalyptic game.
    Sounds are bad, game can't properly work with sound directions, also do not properly support anything above Stereo...
    Huge amount of bugs...
    Just Epic Games Store, not exactly a bad thing, but very uncomfortable, also game was Announced for Steam, then delayed, like they do not give a fk about their players.

    Game have nice story, graphics, Sometimes, show very nice views, but low rendering range, bad optimization and DIRTINDAFACE are killing whole this perspective, music is good (only good thing in this game), if not bad sound-works...
    So if you like games like Dear Esther, but with some grinding and some shooting, then you may like it, but at this state, this game is lower than median quality product...

    Guess a WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR WAR isn't really that bad, people took one lifetime or two in shelters and now everything is okay, mutants aren't barely as present, radiation doesn't kill anymore, the air seems a lot better because you see a lot of people without masks, this game opens with it just squatting and taking a huge dump on the ENTIRE plot and universe.

    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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    The first bug is game breaking; after entering the first 'open' level, the game no longer recognises commands to fire weapons. This is inexplicable as the ability to shoot guns has worked for the first 3 hours of game play. Not being able to shoot weapons in a fist person shooter is ridiculous.

    Second; quick save is temperamental. Often upon launching the game, there is often no option to continue or load a previous save. This requires a restart of the PC for the game to recognise the save files.

    Third; the built in Photo Mode is broken and does not have a function to take screenshots Integration with NVIDIA Ansel is broken; you cannot take photos with Ansel in Metro Exodus Photo Mode. It works fine in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Appalling and absurd oversight and implementation.

    I am running this on an RTX2080; the graphics are some of the best I have ever seen but often the lighting on static objects like trees is utterly bizarre and flashes in and out, especially on the Train Hub levels. Characters have an aura around them that obscure Ray Traced reflections in water. Issues such as these immediately break the immersion that RTX and DLSS is supposed to enhance.

    The character writing and interactions are disinteresting, poorly voiced and too lengthy. The motivations of certain major characters are sometimes utterly unbelievable.

    The decision to make the game available on Epic Games has had the following specific drawbacks;
    - No ability to pre-install the almost 60 GB game file. Game was not available to download even at 1 am on 15 Feb 2019. Unacceptable!
    - No user forums to discuss and find solutions for common issues - having to resort to Steam General Discussion Forums.
    - No achievements, no cloud save, poor launcher support
    The decision of Deep Silver and 4A games to make their game exclusive to Epic Games must be criticised, as it has introduced these above consumer experience issues for this title. I will likely not be buying another title from Epic Games Store until these issues are resolved.

    I have spent most of the day wrestling and trying to find solutions for this 'game'. Games are supposed to be fun to play. My experience today has been an utterly frustrating chore. It should not acceptable to launch any product in any market with such deficient functionality. Poor.    … Expand

    These game reviews shows how out of touch gaming journalism is with gamers.
    That aside the game itself is O.K, The story is much weaker than previous titles in the series with graphics to match. For an open world game it feels so empty and devoid of interesting places to find that is when the game isn't holding your hand and directing you along the main story.

    After playing Exodus for 8+ Hours it only left me wanting to play the earlier titles, it didn't meet or build upon the old games. The UI is garbage as is with most ports or games released on both consoles and PC, that is a given anymore. The graphics are 2 years behind along with the terrible animations and sound. The game rivals any Bethesda fallout game in terms of bugs. This feels like it needed a few more months to bake and come together. This feels like a misstep for 4A and the quality games they use to produce.    … Expand

    Игра-то может быть и правда ребенок Метро и Сталкера, вот только в семье не без урода.

    Отвратительно. Оптимизации нет, багфикса нет, логики нет, ИИ тупой, крашит чаще, чем Fallout76 да еще и деньги не вернуть(вернуть трудно) т.к. не в стиме. Фу.

    Эм, при запуске игра убила систему так как грузилась на ультрах и пришлось загружать резервную копию системы.Запустить смог только с помощью проги от nvidia. "Ну ничего, с кем не бывает?" - подумал я, поиграл после где-то часов 5-6 все отлично атмосферно, геймплей приятный к этому придраться не могу. К слову в настройках нельзя поставить оконный режим + дополнительные пляски с бубном.

    Короче говоря, сама игра хорошая, однако она сломанная. Не покупайте если вам дороги ваши нервы

    Актёры озвучивания заметно переигрывают: наивные вскрики Анны "Артём, ты был прав!", Мельник будто пыжится выдавливая из себя брутала (как Джигурда), про "английский" акцент Сэма лучше вообще промолчать...

Многие пишут про офигенную атмосферу, дескать, дома, иконы, пустые пузыри - наше, родное. У меня к этому вообще ноль эмоций, не ностальгии, не отвращения. Особой русофобии я также не заметил. Из плюсов можно выделить неплохую графику (особенно вода) и, пожалуй, всё. Главный минус для меня - играть неинтересно. Конвейерные ассасины затянули сильнее и тот же третьесортный ELEX показался увлекательнее. А уж сравнение Exodus и Сталкера для меня вообще за гранью понимания. В остатке только мысль: и этого я ждал с таким нетерпением?… Expand

    Are you serious with this campaign? I thought i completed the introduction but it was the end of the game. Where is the exploration? There is nothing to do on these "sandbox" maps...

    To top it off, half the game you have to keep people alive or it ruins the ending. So it's a survival sandbox shooter where you can't shoot or kill most of the time.just sneak around..FUN! Thank God I didn't buy this trash, completed it on a friends console in an afternoon.    … Expand

    This game is booooooring. The cut scenes are dull, badly acted and animated and are un-skippable. They go on forever. The action is dull and infrequent. There is no interaction with NPCs beyond the canned stuff. The open world is limited, like being dropped of on an island owned by a whatever cruise line you are on.

    Very nice graphics and the atmosphere. Stupid stealth gameplay nearly in the whole game that ruining the impression in general. I don't like stealth actions. Why do I should play stealth almost 70% of the game just to be "good person" and to have "good" ending.

    A terrible optimization can be seen better as you continue the game. Unstable floating mouse. The most boring and predictable curves are repeated 3 times everywhere.

    Such a garbage and ruin to the metro series. After the first Volga location game becomes a low quality indie project. Graphics are terrible, the textures itself are garbage in its pure form. Dying light, the game by some polish studio, had better textures! And it was in 2015!!! The story is awful as well, all the characters are blend, poorly scripted.

Game looks normal for `2017 year or so, but it performs terrible, not only the FPS is low for my GTX 1080 but stutters time to time here and there killing all the process of enjoying the game. This trash gets only 2/10 cause first location is actually good and gives you a hope and everything after it - totally not worth playing.… Expand

    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]
