    What used to be an excellent PC shooter is now a terrible console port. What the hell happened?

    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

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

    I really want to like this game. I loved Last Light, but I feel like this game is ultimately a step down for me. The game runs terribly, even on a decent rig, and in the amount of time i've played, i've encountered several game breaking bugs. I don't even care about the epic store, but the state this game launched in is terrible!

    Boring Open World. Can't understand why they even try to put this crap in the game, it was great action game, but now it's just a time-killer.
    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...

    Для того чтобы простить настолько кривую анимацию и дегенеративные диалоги, игра должна быть как минимум уровня скайрим, серьезно, диалоги в поздних фанфиках по метро - лучше!

    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

    Uninspired improvements over the last Metro titles, the environment models at many instances feel hastily put together, it feels like the game was rushed. The game is also very very dark at many instances, it's supposedly done to showcase the RTX ray tracing, but if you don't have an RTX you can't see anything.

    Gameplay:
    Very, very buggy AI. NPCs generally don't tend to react to each other, NPCs getting stuck, NPCs doing nothing etc etc.

    There are too many flaws at this stage to describe, the game feels rushed, unfinished and incomplete. Not worth the money.    … Expand

I didnt even know that this was a limitation of the epic game launcher, It means that I cant play the game on my gaming laptop when in the RV, I travel a lot with my family and we dont always have WIFI constantly. So I cant even play a single player game I payed $60 for without internet, what an absolute joke.

    I am a long time fan of the previous 2 games. had an absolute blast with last light as its considered one of my most favorite games ever. But in Exodus It just doesnt have that same feel like the previous 2 games. First of all the FOV is really low and there is NO FOV SLIDER!. Yep you read that right, its 2019 and a FPS game on PC without an FOV slider. The default FOV is 60 and you will get horrible motion sickness from playing on your monitor, The game seems to be a straight up port from consoles, they didnt even put any work into the PC version. the movement feels super sluggish and heavy, mouse sensitivity can be maxed out and yet it still feels like you have 20 pounds of rocks holding your mouse down. And the open world feels so boring, half the time you run around looking for something to shoot or do, there just isnt anything going on to interest me while going from area to area. There is barely any underground sections like the older games, which was a staple in the Metro series and is in the freakin title of the game.

    Overall I cant recommend this, as pretty looking as it is, the game feels baron and the PC version is a lazy port from consoles.    … Expand

    At this point I'm done trying to troubleshoot this Epic failure of a game and launcher and I'm trying to request a refund.

    Getting the Epic Fail Store to give me the refund proves to be an adventure in itself. Their reps keep delaying with bull*hit copy/paste PR replies (about being impossible to get a refund so soon or even asking me to call the publisher...)

    From what I've been able to play so far the game looks average: looks like a un-optimized console port with quirky controlls, weird graphic glitches, random low res and low fps issues on a bloody RTX 2080 TI, and so on. This game really needs additional testing and shouldn't have been released in this state.

    I didn't want to be like those people who complain about the exclusivity thing but I never encountered such issues with the older Metro games I bought on Steam.

    I might buy it again but this time next year from Steam or GoG, once all the bugs are fixed and that crappy Denuvo thing is removed, assuming my I would still be interested in this game, but more likely I'll just watch a play-through on YouTube and be done with it.

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. Then they acted like pricks and dropped the price to 49.99 on the epic launcher.

    I would steer clear of this one. Good Luck    … Expand
