    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. 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

    It's a blatant console port. The graphic options are bare bones. To scroll through them you hover your mouse at the top or bottom of the screen. They're not on steam because if they were, they'd be destroyed by the reviews.

    I was disappointed with this game. It is even worse than the previous parts.
    Disgusting animation.
    Bugs, bugs, bugs everywhere.
    Copy-paste levels.
    Stupid plot, idiot characters.
    But the magnificent work of three-dimensional artists.

    Exodus takes about the same amount of time to playthrough as 2033 and LL, but most of that in Exodus is bloated content you're forced through of conversations and handholding, yet there is a tiny fraction of action and combat to be had in Exodus. A Exodus playthrough will take hours (about 4 hours just carving through it), and in that time the number of significant fights you had can be counted on two hands and most of them will be a 1-2 minutes of combat.
    Also Exodus is a terrible PC port with broken and unplayable aspects.
    As of writing this the game has been out for over a month and none of these game-breaking issues and console aspects from a bad port have been fixed.

    BROKEN FOV: There is no FOV option, and the default is very small and nauseating. In the previous games in the series this was okay as you could go into game files and edit them for a larger FOV. However in Exodus there are many screen effects that do not adjust with the new custom FOV. Everytime you are wounded in a fight you will have a red box in the middle, and also across the middle of the screen have a large ugly giant red blob line across the screen (which normally is supposed to be at the top of the screen).

    BROKEN CUSTOM CONTROLS: Firstly if you use custom controls, especially if you're a numpad user, then you're in big trouble as the controls for interacting with workbenches and radios and the like won't change to your custom keys. Instead the defaults will be written for controls; F, D, A etc, and pressing those defaults won't work.
    This means that everytime time you need to use a workbench of radio you need to go back into your key mappings, remap to the default, interact with the radio and workbench, and then go back into options and remap to your custom keys and carry on playing the game. With having to regularly use workbenches to clean your weapons this is not fun.
    INTERACTION CIRCLES: Firstly the game is plagued with ugly console interaction circles. But these are particularly bad in how they've been applied to looting bodies. In the Metro series you're constantly picking up ammo (or in Exodus parts to craft ammo) - as you progress through a firefight you'll quickly loot from the body of a killed opponnent. In the previous games in the sequel you tapped you use key twice to loot the body and their weapon.
    For some reason the devs decided that it would be a good idea to make it so that you must aim at the enemy weapon and hold reload to remove the ammo and modifications from the enemy weapon, and also use the interact key to loot the body and reload key to loot from the weapon. This now means that instead of sliding through a seamless firefight naturally looting bodies, instead you now must use the interact key to loot the body (careful not to accidentally look to the side at the weapon where you're then pressing the wrong key), stop in the middle of the fight, look at the weapon on the floor, hold reload and wait for an interaction circle to loot the ammo.
    Enjoy doing this thousands of times.

    Content:
    I've played Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light countless times. Around 100 times each. They are 'linear' games, but much of the gameplay in each level can be played many times over as the fights are always exciting and challenging.
    In Metro Exodus - the open world game (though most of the game isn't in open world environments) - the entirety of the game can be broken down to a handful of minor easy gunfights and battles with mutants.
    Firstly there are only 3 'open world' areas, and one of them is very incredibly linear where you're stripped of your equipment and forced down a boring path that isn't fun the first time, let alone replaying it. The other two open world areas are cool, but they're relatively small and can run across them in a few minutes, and I can count on one hand the number of areas of these maps where there are groups of a few enemies you wipe out in a matter of seconds.
    The rest of the game is linear levels which are frankly complete trash and unworthy of the series.
    Again, I have played 2033 and countless times and I love going through those levels again and again everytime... Meanwhile you couldn't pay me to replay the corridor sections that make up half of Exodus.
    The beginning chapter of the game is scripted and very linear and repetitive. It's just crap.
    Another one is a ridiculous level spamming gunfire at harmless mindless cannibal enemies I've run out of characters but bad content, bugs, bad port, terrible replayability, hollow, hardly any combat    … 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

    I absolutely do not understand why this is necessary, because the world is already bursting at the seams, why they incite more hatred.

    And everyone treats this indifferently, but if African Americans, or women, were insulted in this game, human rights activists would immediately sue the developers. But since insulted the Russian people, then no one will do anything.

    It's a shame, because because of all these political wars, ordinary people are forced to see all this nonsense.

The story itself is fairly average: your companion Anna lends a 'helping hand' in combat situations, all other NPCs are forgettable in the long run. The pseudo open-world is beautiful, but unappealing - I personally preferred the underground tunnels in both previous Metro games.

    It's almost like the developers knew the game wasn't going to be that well-received and decided to mindlessly accept the Epic Store 'exclusive listing' proposal to cash in a certain amount of money. Thank God I chose the option to have a taste of this game without paying. Harr!    … 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

Конвейерные ассасины затянули сильнее и тот же третьесортный ELEX показался увлекательнее. А уж сравнение Exodus и Сталкера для меня вообще за гранью понимания.

    The graphics are very good but the story line is just so boring. I've played for a hour and think I'm going to refund the game. It may get better, but at this stage I don't want to risk it for the money.

    - Good graphics and immersive world
    - Linear movement
    - A lot of cut scenes and dialogue I don't give a damn about. Characters seem boring.

    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

    Metro Exodus is more than just a game, it's a symbol of just how bad things could be in the future of PC gaming.

    Not any more. Epic, in their phenomenal greed, seek to bring that brand of anti-competition and anti-consumerism to an open platform, offering 'financial incentives' (read: bribes) to third party publishers to deny sales to their competition. Worse still, they're doing this at the 11th hour, after exploiting said competition to garner publicity and visibility for the product.

    Say what you will about scummy publisher practices these past years, but not even the likes of EA or Activision have sunk low enough to pull a move like this. And whether you love or hate Steam, they have never sought an unfair advantage over their competition.

    Epic is harmful to the gaming industry. Deep Silver is harmful to the gaming industry. Metro Exodus is harmful to the gaming industry. So do the gaming industry a favour as I have, and avoid giving your money to any publisher that seeks to push the limits of anti-consumerism.    … Expand

    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.

    positives:

    it came out and i finished it and uninstalled it

    Negatives:
    IA
    Animations
    UI
    Bugs

It turned out that this is not enough, in order to be imbued with the spirit of the game you need to really play it and love it with all the shortcomings that were in it from the beginning. And the disadvantages really are, and they are from the beginning, from the very beginning the game had not quite a clear plot, bugs and weak graphics when compared with analogues at the time of release of parts, and of course the gameplay mechanics is not like everyone else. Nevertheless, the plot is a no but there is certainly someone he went, besides, the game is essentially Russian, to the whole atmosfere pissed corners in residential areas and parables about life's troubles the local npsi seems very relished by fans of a great and terrible Stalker. The outcome of the same in fact continues the events of the previous parts and of course the fans of the game continued the story and a new graphic design (in fact the corridors as the open world it can not be called)had to taste. The fact that there are some gameplay features that are available in modern games, as well as clumsy animation, lack of damag panels, weak, naive and tedious story and a bunch of all that I described earlier, no one was confused. Metro is and was from the beginning, and of course the fans of all these flaws are simply not visible. They see that the game brought grafon and it really is best of what I saw in the videos of the previous parts. But metro Exodus used a very impressive PR company that even people who can not stand the spirit of murder in games downloaded to see what it is. And when a detailed examination of the game to people far from the series, the game did not seem like some kind of masterpiece, it srednyachek that they passed, if passed and removed. In fact, the game is not for a fan of "Metro" is just a demo of all these modern bells and whistles from NVIDIA with light, rays and advertising RTX. In fact, to demonstrate to the General public modern features failed as well as possible, all who played at least at high or ultra settings, even without RTX and DirectX 12 saw how the light was used in this game. It is clear that on RTX 2060 it looks much more effective but nevertheless even I seeing a game on 1080ti and on 1066 saw these moments (about lower settings I cannot write as I did not see a game below high). So for the demo version of all that I wrote, all my quibbles to the game turns out to be superfluous. For this game of it all and don't need she don't need the traces from falling bullets, tear limbs from enemies, the animation(everything from grass and ending with facial expressions, npsi) normal also do not need, voice it is also in essence came up such as it is, that has recorded a bunch of sounds new but some were not and took them from the previous parts as well as dubbing which does not fall in places in the mouth movements. In addition, everyone knows that the voice of Western critics did not like and relished only Russian-speaking. And of course the plot, or rather not even the plot and the script that could be prescribed at times better and better. But all this game is not going to do, and maybe going but instead of working on all of the above decided to shove the rays and light into the game, and paid maximum attention to it. Given the five-day hacking and the number of downloads, not to mention the purchases I think the main emphasis was not so much on selling the game, but on new graphics cards. So the game is good, but for everyone.… Expand

However all of this hard work and dedication is overshadowed by the terrible launcher I have to use. The Epic store client keeps crashing so I can't play. Wouldn't have had that problem on steam now would I?

Such a terrible situation as with this Metro I have not seen for a long time. The picture on my settings is not better than I had in Metro Redux, but at the same time in previous versions I had a stable 60 + fps, here I has 50 with drawdowns below 30 and frametime jumps.
    2) There is also a huge amount of physics bugs. Some objects do not have a physical model (although it would be better for them to have it), some of them are generally floating in the air. Also, a large number of objects have a texture on one side only, but on another side they are transparent. And, of course, if you’re just running through the game (it seems that this is exactly what the developers were counting on by releasing the game), then you may be will not notice it, but it is worthwhile to at least linger on the level and all the problems will pop up at the moment.
    3) Tightened skirmishes. Monsters spawns endlessly, why we have no chance to kill them all? You force us to just run through the levels (read the second part…), For it is often simply impossible to kill all the monsters, or it takes too many resources.
    4) Tightened missions, which in the end cause only a desire to quickly move on to the next mission.
    5) The system of customization and modification of weapons can be compared with Wildlands - it seems like there are a lot of modifications, but actually it’s impossible to do something truly unique. In fact, all you need is a rifle with a silencer.
    6) Separately, I will say that the game has no problems with zoom. I mean if the sight has an approximation of "X6", then it really approximates 6 times, and not like in some games - only two or even less.
    7) The plot is pretty good. In fact, this is the only thing that makes me play this game. Without it I would delete after the first hour of the game. Really, gameplay is just disgusting.
    I would like to add that critics who rate this game 8 and above do not have the right to be called critics. The word itself contains the verb "to criticize" - what they do not do. At a minimum, due to such technical problems, it should not receive ratings higher than 7.
    My score for this game is absolute zero.    … 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.

    If this game was £30 instead of £50 and has achievements like the steam store had it would probably be a 6/10.    … Expand

    Sorry, but thats not Metro.

    First: Anna is boring. Can anyone remove her from the game please? She is useless.
    Second: The gang is boring. Endless dialogs with an mute Artjom. All the npc babble like chatterboxes, Artjom - silence. No way to cut the endless conversations.
    Third: The gameplay is boring. Even at hardcore its more an walk-through than a challenge.
    Fourthly: Endlessly loot picking is boring. press E for two bullets, press E for two bullets, press E for two bullets. Booooooring!

    Conclusion: Is miss everything I loved on Metro and LL. I cant feel anything from the hype on Metro Exodus. I am very disappointed at the moment.

    One point for the nice but not mindblowing gfx.

    edit: I finished that palgue and I am happy that I shot one good to much so that Artjom died, R.I.P. my old friend.

    My rating now for the chapters (from 1 worst to 10 best):

    prologue: 2, lacks of logic, but so what, it's an prologue.
    volga: 5,semi open world muddy terrain environment, Ithought it was boring while playing but after finishing that game its maybe the best part.
    yamatau: 5, ok, that part is funny here and there but to short to give the game an other spin. But at least a lot of shooting here.
    caspian desert: 2, semi openworld monotone desert environment, not challenging anyway, but not to much Anna and boring dialogs, so it gets 3 points minus one for the absolutely annoying sandstorms.
    the valley: 4, simple linear level, no open world parts, easy to solve without the senseless bear "boss" fight ( I still doesnt know wy i "won" after a dozen of similar fights, most annoying scene of the game. Detailed but oldfashioned graphics, pitiable.
    dead city: 1, desperately helpless attempt to create a stalker like environment. strictly linear design , boring as hell, wtf are they thinking? Uninspired winter environment.

    beside this: poor PC port, poor game mechanics. Sometimes "bandits" were beamed to other places in the map or disappear like ghosts while you sneak behind them just to respan a littler further. Ah, and, ehm, Artjom is'nt mute, he can "aaaargh" and "oouch" but is unable to say a word unless how much the rest of the gang or Anna persuade on him.

    After all and as I said before this game miss everything that makes metro great. A good story, unexpected changes, open questions. What happened to the dark one's for example? Furthermore it looks like the parts are developed by different teams.

    I've played both metro and LL three times at last and will hold them high forever (as I do with stalker) but I am happy after deleting this piece of garbage from my disc.

    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.

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

    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.

    A downgrade in every conceivable way from the previous games. Not to mention it’s been optimized by amateur programmers. 1 year after release and it’s still filled with bugs and abysmal performance. Hard pass.

    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 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

    Other people talking and the dialogues are ridiculous. An 8 year might be proud to write such a story but i guess they had at least one adult involved and even if you are on drugs or vodka all the time i cannot believe how bad this was done.

    Monster respawn is to much too quick and similar believable as the dialogues.

    Worst game ever! Stupid and annoying cut scenes (that can not be skipped), stupid story and boring gameplay. Feels more like a cheap indie game made by a couple of students than an AA full price game. I am quite happy that it is included in xbox game pass for pc. So at least I did not loose any money on this trash.

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

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.    … Expand

    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]
