    It's a good game but the publisher is very greedy (Denuvo DRM and Epic Stores). The game itself is fun but it's missing the atmosphear and the tension of the first game and it's a bit of short

Я не думал, что получу на релизе, такую сырую и кривую игру. Абсолютно идиотские баги, с исчезновением предметов, например ножей и банок, которые проваливаются в небытие прямо у вас на глазах. Баг при разрядке чужого оружия, когда вместо патронов, ты получаешь вместо автомата, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ый дешёвый пистолет, а твой прокачанный калаш просто исчезает вместе со всеми патронами... прыгаешь на землю и начинаешь тонуть (привет Корбен), хотя на этом самом месте растут грибы, трава, лежат камушки. Да и сама текстура прямо говорит: "Я земля! На меня можно встать!" Анимации и озвучивание персонажей вообще отдельный разговор. Для русской локализации реализовано всё просто убого. Помню ещё до релиза смотрел ролик от разработчиков, как озвучивали русскую версию игры. Ну думал, всё будет супер. Хрен там! Единственный персонаж, который озвучен в целом аутентично - полковник Мельников "Мельник". Для меня выходом стал переход на английский язык с русскими субтитрами. Но всё-равно ужас. Я думаю все заметили, что Артём (к слову говоря главный герой игры), с прошлых частей кроме как кряхтеть при падении/потере крови/получении по морде, не выучил ни одного русского слова! Вы блин издеваетесь? Его комментарий конечно можно услышать перед началом очередного задания, но это ведь совсем не то. Ауу! Розробы! 21 век на дворе!
    Я конечно поиграл совсем немного, но желания продолжать у меня совершенно нет. Ну по крайней мере пока. Думаю месяцев через 5-6, когда игру хорошенько пропатчат (надеюсь), я всё-же займусь её прохождением. А пока, на полку.
    P.S. Графика вполне норм, если заткнуть своё внутренне я, которое кричит: "У тебя 6 ядер по 3.7GGz, nv1080, 16Gb игровая мать и отличный монитор... какого хера чувак?!!"    … Expand

    + Awesome graphics
    + Weapons feel nice
    + Story is decent

    - Open world is on rails (its barley open world)
    - No RPG elements
    - Decisions are limited, rare and feel non consequential
    - Fairly short campaign, slightly abrupt ending

    This game with steam mods will be a much better experience but $2 on WIndows Game Pass was a great deal.

    I remembered Anna but not the other guys so can't tell much of the characters. The story is okay and the world atmosphere is fantastic. That post-soviet world building was very accurate. I liked the open-world maps.

    The main drawback of the game is that one can't skip cutscenes and dialogs, which for the subsequent playthroughts (i.e., Ranger Hardcode or Iron Mode) was kind of frustrating. I found sneaking to be not fun and particularly hard sometimes. Also the game crashed a few times, once during Iron Mode so I lost half a map worth of progress.

    As for the Epic/Steam debacle, I bought it on Steam discounted after it was released a year later. The exclusivity wasn't such a nice step from the publisher/devs but I knew I won't have the time to play the game right when it released anyway. So I got it cheap, with achievements, guides and most problems already iron'd out.    … Expand

    A solid entry to the series, but for me it falls a little flat.
    Feels like a chore at times, open world doesn't overall suit the series. Game seems to have a few bugs in the later chapters. Worth playing, but doesn't live up to the series previous entries.

    I played this game only in 2021. I really liked semi-opened world what reminds me STALKER series.

    Much of the of the potential of this series has been wasted. Don't misunderstand me, the graphics are great, the combat is intense... especially the desert level is extremely well designed. But the rest feels generic. You won't waste your money on this game, but don't expect too much.

    Metro Exodus stumbles frequently in the first half of the playthrough, but eventually gets better as it slowly returns to the series' linearity with the help of a magnificent soundtrack.

    Había cierto estepticismo cuando empezó a verse que la tercera y última entrega sería un mundo abierto.

Reconozco que al principio podía verse con malos ojos si iba a tratarse del típico mundo completista donde prima la cantidad sobre la calidad, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Si bien hay claros altibajos, lo cierto es que al final han optado por la forma que mejor podía quedarle de mundo semiabierto. Y es que para mantener la calidad, es necesario centrarse en pequeños espacios abiertos, conectados por momentos lineales donde avanza la trama. Es algo que me encantó en su día en The Witcher 2 y que aquí veo una buena similitud en cuanto a ritmo y presentación.

    Por todo lo demás, el juego es bastante continuista en sus puntos fuertes y debiles con Metro 2033 y Metro Last Light. Y en general los puntos fuertes siempre tienen grandes peros. Por ejemplo, es indudable que el aspecto visual es imponente. El juego de luces, de efectos y de texturas sigue una buena evolución de las dos entregas anteriores. Pero ello choca con un sistema de animaciones algo tosco y con grandes bugs, efectos visuales extraños que no sabes si son de mala calidad o se trata de glitches puntuales. Puedes estar en una conversación con otro personaje en primer plano y todo es perfecto, solo que de repente alguien roza un plato y se produce una explosion que lo teletransporta, o alguien se queda atascado en una pared, alguien dispara de fondo pero falta el sonido del arma... cosas así. Aunque el resultado es notable, los momentos donde algo te saca de la experiencia son abundantes.

    Pero si algo funciona en este juego por encima de todo y de todos. Algo que es la total novedad de Exodus, es la Aurora. El tren que será parte imprescindible del viaje, hogar y a la vez personaje principal entre todo el grupo de personas, no solo es una solución visual. La interacción con la Aurora es bastante similar a lo que sucedía con los campamentos de Red Dead Redemption 2. Quizá la obsesion por el detalle y las posibilidades no sean las mismas, pero la sensación que deja es muy similar. Sin duda lo mejor de la entrega.    … Expand

    For example, for a whole chapter I was unable to close my map with the default tab key. Then the next chapter I was able to do it again. During these moments you just end up smashing and clicking everything until something happens. It was really annoying.

    AI randomly popping in and out during scenes. One time a bunch of mutants looked like they were swimming through the air. AI in general felt weird and just not fluid enough. They will get stuck in places or just not fit through a hole because its 2 cm too small.

    These things really spoil the immersion. Apart from that, the game looks really, really good. Some levels just left me in awe. The art style is just gorgeous. World, characters and weapons are really nice to look at. One mission where I didn't like the characters or the world was at the Yamantau Bunker...everything there just seemed that it would have been better left out of the game.

    When it comes to gameplay mechanics, it doesn't feel polished like you would think a AAA game should be and I really wished they also payed more attention to this aspect of the game. Shooting feels fine, but movement and fighting with the enemies just was not satisfying enough. It felt like it was more meant to be played with stealth in mind, which I also found more fun in the end.

    Its not a polished high action packed shooter like doom or call of duty, but its more story driven than those titles and at times, it can really nail immersion better than most games. It could have been an 8 or even a 9, but unfortunately some bugs and clunky AI keep it from reaching its full potential.

    If you enjoy post apocalyptic fiction and game immersion, then this is definitely a game you should play. If you want a smooth polished call of duty like shooter, then this is not for you.    … Expand

Но все портят bugs, lags, low fps, как будто бета. Вы, вероятно, потратили много времени, чтобы добавить RTX by Huang, но при этом забыли, что в 2K19 нужна нормальная анимация персонажей и их лиц. Нужна оптимизация, которой нет. Gameplay ужасен; AI глуп; физика оружия, повреждений и impact от оружия отсутствуют полностью. С другой стороны, оружие в игре ненужно, даже на рейнджере, кроме juggernauts, всех врагов можно либо прикладом либо кулаками, либо просто убежать, что ломает FPS сторону игры. Если играть не как пацифист, то игра будет винить тебя, попытка подражать Spec Ops the Line, но в Exodus мораль не работает. Сюжетные напарники Артёма, абсолютно бесполезны во время прохождения игры. Артём не умеет плавать - это минус. Exodus лишь имитирует open world. В версии для ПК так и не появилось нормального меню настроек, всё по СПАРТАнски, даже нельзя отдельно настроить громкость голосов и отдельно эффектов, которые часто заглушают голоса персонажей, теперь еще в меню нельзя отключить размытие, нужно лезть в config. Непонятно, чем Глуховскому и команде помешал Мельник. Два антирада, чем-то напомнило RE7, короче бред. Также непонятно, как имея аппарат для переливания крови, у команды не было элементарной свинцовой защиты у костюмов... список вот таких сюжетных недостатков можно продолжать. Немой Артём, при этом с ним переодически разговаривают NPC, иногда даже, что-то спрашивают, а Артём может только кряхтеть, кто это придумал? Если вы реально хотите когда-нибудь сделать замену Fallout или может быть даже шедевр, помимо того что ваша будущая игра, в техническом плане должна быть близка к идеалу, сюжет должен, по возможности, лишен даже мелких недостатков. Физика оружия, ориентируйтесь на сериию Battlefield; AI Exodus, полностью проигрывает Crysis (2007), также нужна процедурная система разрушения окружения. Неплохо было бы добавить RPG элементы, Metro это пошло бы на пользу, Артём должен говорить, иначе опять будет как в Exodus. Введите систему повреждений врагов и их разнообразие. Вот когда все это сделаете, тогда можно и open world. Хотя вряд ли Koch Media смогут вам выделить необходимый бюджет, для столь амбициозных планов. Может 4A Games скооперироваться с CDPR ;)For Deep Silver/Koch Media: Well, if you don't understand how AAA projects are made, maybe you better deal only with distribution? First controversial decision with the choice of digital store, then, seeing the incompleteness of the game you hastened devs. You were only interested in time frame and profitable cooperation with Epic Games. And instead of doing quality control you decide to shove into game f* Denuvo which doesn't protect the game from hacking but only causes inconvenience to your customers, instead of give 4A Games money to create high-quality animation, for example. Yeah, yeah, you can tell, that there is no difference in performance between the regular version and Denuvo version. Yes, no, but only in the PC for 3-5K $, and for everyone else there will be lags and low FPS. Looking at the list of games you have published, it becomes clear that, apart from the Metro series, you no longer have anything worthwhile, and you are so carelessly about your main franchise. You probably crazy.… Expand

    Nice continuation of the metro series, however not as spectacular as i.e. 1st game. Graphics are definitely improved and world looks nice. Gun play could have been slightly better. Sometimes your shots dont register. From time to time an enemy doesnt shoot you from 3 meters but can headshot you easily from 50 meters. Game has some technical bugs however not game breaking.

    15% бьем с приклада, так как патронов нет, или убиваем зажигалкой и фонариком
    5% шутер. Но как шутер, со стелса либо оглушаем, либо стреляем в голову, патронов то нет.

    Больше смахивает на какое нить кинцо типо Until Dawn, но реализовано очень криво, и явно авторы не хотели делать кинцо. Но тут видно, что работали "специалисты", дипломов понакупали, а толку? В общем не нашли денег на нормального сценариста и режиссера.

    Не спасает ни отличная картинка, ни юмор. Минусов помимо того что я описал выше, тоже хватает. Тот же молчаливый Артем, мог хотя бы приветы раздавать или говорить "ок, сча сделаю". Но это все мелочи, по сравнению с тем что я отнес к основному недостатку игры.

    Так что люди ждавшие отличный шутер типо фар края или фолоута 4 (а тут напоминаю наняли спецов из ID software, которые на шутерах собаку съели, и сразу получилась отличная стрельба в фоллауте) в мире метро, могут смело проходить мимо, тут этого нет.    … Expand

    Pretty much a fanboy of the OG Metro 2033 and thought the Redux Last Light was really fun. When Exodus plays to it's OG Metro roots like with small linear maps and tight enclosed spaces the tense sense of overwhelming claustrophobic comes into play. Exodus does not work as well narratively and gameplay wise on the larger free roam maps.

    The gunplay and stealth was never really great in Metro games, but stealth and non lethal takedowns of factions are required for the good karma ending. Stealth on the large maps can be a drag and a single punch KO doesn't make for exciting gameplay for sure. It is more fun to go loud for sure, but it will be at the cost of a good karma ending maybe. The game only allows for peeing off one faction out of the three that effect the karma rating.

    Not my fave Metro for sure due to the Exodus nature. So not really much Metro in a Metro game. Pretty much a mixed bag Metro experience. Kind of 50/50 on this one for sure. Though I do love me some Metro vibe for sure and this does have the good old Metro vibe in places.    … Expand

Shocker, I know.

    The Metro franchise has been a guilty pleasure of mine since Metro 2033. Both it and Last Light, as well as the Redux versions, hold secure and comfortable spots in my gaming library. They have a certain charm about them, something about a smaller developer punching well above their weight and (mostly) succeeding has always been satisfying for me to see. So when Exodus was announced, I was excited.

    Fast forward to February 19th, 2019. I got the game, loaded it up, and dove right in. I had been amped for this moment for the entire month.

    Cue a CTD within 2 minutes of gaining control of Artyom.

    Not a great start, but to be fair, this was the only crash I experienced over the next 30-ish hours of gameplay. In retrospect, it's one of the least frustrating problems that I had with the game.

    Overall, the game did meet most of my expectations for a Metro game: Heavy on the story, atmosphere, and pseudo-religious undertones.

    The characters were charming, their interactions exciting and engaging enough for me to spend time sitting around to listen to their conversations. The crew of the Aurora felt like distinct individuals, only hampered by the average to god awful voice cast employed on this installment. Miller *still* has only one mood/inflection, Artyom's narration is more stilted than the swamp houses in Taiga, and I'm reasonably sure Nastya was voiced by the RL daughter of one of the developers (i.e., she sounds like an actual child but deadpans/stiffly reads lines like one too.)

    The story itself isn't bad, indeed enjoyable enough to have kept me playing through the game. It won't be winning any prizes anytime soon, either. The biggest plot weakness for me is how disjointed and disconnected the entire early and middle portions of the game feel to the prologue and final two chapters/zones. The plotlines during these sections simply feel unnecessary or uncomfortably forced aside from a few major plot elements. 4A isn't the best at filling 25-30 hours of story, and it is painfully apparent. The main story is only really about 5 or 6 hours worth of content, everything else feels like tacked on filler.

    Gameplay is, for me, the biggest positive for me in Exodus. Gunplay is great, weapons sound and 'feel' very weighty and punchy compared to 2033/Last Light's cartoony sounds and handling. Firearms even jam and malfunction if you don't properly maintain them. I love the slight return to the OG 2033 gameplay: Artyom is no longer the Tank he was in Last Light, stealth is virtually a requirement for survival, and exploration and scavenging is a priority. Bullets as a currency are gone, but with the new crafting system, they are just as precious of a commodity to the player. Add in needing to craft your medkits and filters instead of being able to just horde MGR and buy them at shops, and you are often faced with an "ammo vs. healing vs. oxygen" dilemma, particularly in the late game.

    In terms of the AI: It's still Metro, so it's still Euro-Jank as heck...but it's also better. Enemies feel smarter, especially once you tip them off to your presence. They communicate with one another, calling out Artyom's location and working together to pin you down and flank you. Very rarely will enemies rush you in a gunfight. On one occasion, I fell back on tricks from previous games, expecting to be able to lure bandits towards me so I could dispatch them at my leisure. Imagine my surprise when they instead backed me into a corner, surrounded me, and sniped me from a safe distance anytime I poked my head out. With all these benefits, though, the AI still feels very janky at times: Enemies either have x-ray vision and spot you through walls in pitch black darkness or they're blind and deaf mole-men who fail to see you standing two feet in front of them in broad daylight. They often glitch into and through walls, stairs, ladders, and terrain (chase a certain marksman up a certain crane sometime to see what I mean).

    The biggest pitfalls the game had, the ones that had me swearing at the screen as I reloaded a checkpoint for the seventh time in a row, were all technical. Bullets harmlessly passing through enemies, the prompts to perform melee takedowns arbitrarily being unusable at very inconvenient times, and rubberbanding into visual range of enemies while vaulting/manteling are all very common and infuriating hiccups with the game. This is all exacerbated by the fact 4A decided to use a checkpoint system. While this works for a strictly linear corridor shooter, it can mean losing a half-hour's progress in one of the more open-world levels.

    Overall, Metro Exodus is a good (but definitely not 8/10 or 9/10 great) entry in the series, and an entertaining FPS.    … Expand

    It's good game... but not the best Metro game. I player every Metro game. 2033 is my favourite and I also read the books.

    -Gunplay is amazing, great upgrade. -Crafting and backpack system... it works but... I didn't know how to open backpack until like 2nd half of the game. Why I didn't know about it? Because nobody told me and before Autumn level I really didn't need it. And I think    It's good game... but not the best Metro game.

    -Gunplay is amazing, great upgrade.
    -Crafting and backpack system... it works but... I didn't know how to open backpack until like 2nd half of the game. Why I didn't know about it? Because nobody told me and before Autumn level I really didn't need it. And I think that's a problem. And also problem is that this is console port and you have to HOLD "i" to open the backpack.... you f-ing kidding me? At one time I thought about how do I open the backpack, I pressed every button but nothing worked so I ignored it until Autumn level where you could say it's very usable.
    -UI and controlls are a bit confusing because they are different than in previous Metro games
    -the rest of gameplay aspects... probably works because I can't think of any other problems or very well made mechanics that would be nice to mention

    -soundtrack is great, nothing bad to say about it
    -audio... sometimes it's missing, sometimes it cuts... there are sounds used from previous games and you can hear their old age, but some new audio is well made, that Dolby thingie is also pretty good
    -voice acting isn't bad, but nothing really amazing... voice doesn't change because of position of the character (character is turned away from you, he's close to you etc.) also sometimes it just doesn't fit to animation the character is in (Anna was talking or maybe she was yelling at Miller facing him, then she turned around, went to you and started to show signs of dissapointment but her voice was still same, characters are speaking over each other)

    -graphics are just beautiful, there's nothing bad to say about it.

    -optimization...is pretty good. Sometimes long loadings, then there are bugs (I got stuck in crawling animation, I could crawl through walls, beneath the map and I couldn't stop it so reload, then some minor bugs) I had pretty good amount of crashes... first two were in game and the rest (4 or 5) were when I was quiting the game.

    -story... the beginning is rushed. The ending is rushed. The open world doesn't help it. The game is no longer dense. You are not in contact with the story all the time. The true Metro feeling is in only one location which was just perfect.
    -characters are pretty well made. But they can't stop talking. This is the only game where I wished that Artyom could talk because listening to everyone talking for minutes without some reaction and just standing and watching them... it's boring. Very boring.
    -also because of the rushed beginning I noticed some people from the crew for the first time after 1. or 2. big location. I didn't know about guy called Idiot until Summer location. I was just surprised where was he all the time.
    -also... it's pretty dissapointing...look: In Last Light for example your main goal changes. It's like doing multiple mainquests. In Exodus it's just one mainquest. You start off with one goal which doesn't change the whole time and once you get to the end... well actually... you don't get to the end. The cutscene will take you to the end.

    now the main flaw:

    The open world

    It breaks the story. Game is no longer dense. There are parts where you just don't feel like you are part of the story. You are just there to explore because why not.
    The areas are also... different. They have different combinations of story and open world.
    First open winter location is perfect mix between open world and story.
    Summer location is bad combination. It's big open world with small parts of story and my least favourite. The atmosphere is no longer dense, it feels too open, no intense moments.
    Third "open" location isn't very open but also it's not very linear... and it doesn't have a lot of story. Like last 10-20minutes are good but until then it's weak.
    And the fourth location...that's the true Metro experience. I'll say no more about it because lot of people probably don't know what locations this is.

    This just looks like experimenting. Finding out what's good combination what's not.

    In previous Metro games you felt like you are still in contact with the story. With some small breaks to buy ammo. It felt like it's 50% of gameplay and 50% of the story hand in hand, working together very well. Perfectly balanced as all things should be. In Exodus it's like splitting them apart with 70% of gameplay and 30% of the story. It's weak, atmosphere is almost gone, almost no dense moments

    If I should compare the locations and story:openworld... It's like walking from Witcher 3 to Skyrim to almost linear game with small amount of story (I can't really think of game like that) to Metro game.

    Let's wrap it up

    Metro Exodus is first Metro game which made me wanting more from it. It didn't fill me up completely even though it's even longer than previous games. But those were perfect. I felt full, like after a good meal. But not with Exodus.    … Expand

    On the broken timings of the Forest Master, because of which, if he knocks you over, he won’t get up.

But the open world leaves areas not nessecary to explore, optional when it comes to progression, which sort of compares to previous games, though brought to a whole new level in size and i like that. But even running the game on a really high end gaming rig, at max graphics will hurt your fps counter badly, not so much in the first "act" or area, but in the dessert "act" in daytime the particles effects & other settings can almost render combat laughable (framedrops to 20 fps occurs). It needs to be fixed or optimiced at least. I've now spent about 10 hours ingame, and not considering the somewhat different graphical settings needed for preformance, the game itself has plenty of moments that reminds of the mood and setting, being claustrophobic in the tunnels of Moscow metro. So all in all, I can live with heaving to tweak minor settings for optimization but this is a bit of a mouthfull, anyways i would reccomend the game to the fans of the series, but to the newcommers, that hasn't played the other titles, they might not aprecciate some aspects of the game, like the lore.
    And honestly im still going to add this game to my steam libary when the time is right, this fortnite launcher, is just not my thang.

Стрельба как и в прошлых частях игры понравилась. Часть сюжетных миссий откровенно цепляла и оставила исключительно положительные эмоции Из недостатков: стабильность игры, чаще всего вылетала на Волге, позже - не более 2-3 раз, Далее вот прям ярко ощущаемая узость: не хватает вариативности, т.е. явно надо было делать РПГ, т.к. в данной обстановке эта линейность кажется несколько неуместной (возможно я к РПГ привык и поэтому ощущал определённый дискомфорт), а так типо-открытый мир есть, но этого недостаточно.

This game continues the way the other metro, but, this time the action happens in an open place, for this reason, the game ha lost the terror climax in dark tunnels of Moscow's metro. Now we can craft weapons and bullets and history is the best of the three games. Further Artion continues without speaking. If you liked the other Metro games, you will enjoy this.

    Short review as usual.

    Good: * Game design, levels, locations. * Atmosphere - authentic, USSR or Russian (call anyway you wish). Small details and so on. * Variety of guns. * Game pace. Can finish without many kills. Bad: * Characters didn't seem "real". They were like crown during shooting a movie. Motivation, actions are also unclear in many situations. * Main character is a    Short review as usual.

    * The game is scripted too much.
    * Sometimes (as in the first Metro) you don't understand why you should go there and what the hell is happening (losing the line of the plot).
    * Plot itself is LOL.

    Unfortunately needed more deaths of key characters, sacrifices, better motivation. That would have really helped.    … Expand

    I really wanted to like this game ,but unfortunately it doesnt grab me...The graphics are amazing there are a few bugs but thats okay.The part i dont like is that it has lost its metro vibe.It doesnt feel like a Metro game.The first hour is really cool and then it plummets.Instead of roaming through tunnels you are out in the open.No gas mask,no mutants.

    I did not play the first parts. But I decided to play Metro: Exodus, because an open world appeared in it. I liked the game, it was interesting. Nice story and atmosphere, pretty graphics. But I did not really like the gameplay. Passing at the end of the game is a corridor, it was very upsetting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me ha gustado el juego, la historia y los personajes. Glujovski ha creado otra fascinante aventura de Artyom. Llegando al ámbito personal, me ha parecido innovador la idea de sacar a Artyom y a sus compañeros de Moscú, pero esta aportación ha llevado al juego a tener algunos errores. El sonido en las acciones y en el juego en general me ha parecido mal producido (enemigos que se acercan y no se oye, que un enemigo te ataque y no haya sonido apenas...); y otro aspecto que me ha parecido mal ejecutado han sido los escenarios: zonas del mapa vacías, escasa interacción con el terreno, vehículos necesarios pero con fallos...; y para finalizar, un fallo de optimización que me ha ocurrido a mí, he podido jugar el juego en calidad media y mi gráfica debería haber sido suficiente para jugarlo en esta calidad entero, pero he tenido que bajarlo a veces porque daba tirones bastante notables.
    En conclusión quitando estas cositas me ha parecido un buen juego, a pesar de que es molesto de jugar a veces. Lo recomiendo para los jugadores de la saga, pero me gustan más los anteriores.    … Expand

    Должен сказать, что минусы, которые я привожу, выстраданы мной на собственном опыте, так как я провёл за игрой 85 часов. Не вижу смысла затягивать, итак, плюсы:

    +Отличная атмосфера. Постоянная напряженность от того, что стало с миром и с людьми. Для русских людей эта игра ещё более атмосферна, все эти старые вещи, речь и многое другое. А Новосибирск так вообще нечто. +Хороший сюжет.    Должен сказать, что минусы, которые я привожу, выстраданы мной на собственном опыте, так как я провёл за игрой 85 часов.

    +Хороший сюжет. Мне тут нечего комментировать, вы и сами всё понимаете.
    +Неплохая графика. К сожалению я не имею возможности понаблюдать RTX на своём экране, но впринципе графика достойная.
    +Оружие. Его много, оно красивое и оно не чувствуется как бамбуковая палка.
    +Два Полковника. Очень душевное дополнение, было бы оно ещё длиннее, чем урок в школе, цены бы ему не было.

    Этих плюсов не много, но они достаточно весомые, чтобы я не возненавидел эту игру из-за её минусов, а они, поверьте мне есть и не малые.

    -Анимация персонажей. Когда игра только вышла всеми признана была плохая анимация персонажей и их лиц. Разработчики прислушались и сделали её ещё хуже, теперь у персонажей двигаются ещё и зубы. Люди так не говорят...
    -Оптимизация. Это просто ужасно на самом деле, но не настолько сильно печалит низкий фпс , сколько постоянные вылеты. Я не могу посчитать сколько игра у меня вылетела.
    -Автосохранения. Из-за этого минуса я решил прервать прервать очередное прохождение и забыть про эту игру до выхода истории Сэма. Сохранение может не проходить полчаса, а сохраниться в каком-то непонятном рандомном месте. Причём на сложности хардкор нельзя сохраниться в ручную (что решило бы проблему). Проблема достигает своего апогея в долине, так как убивать детей леса нельзя вообще, приходится перезагружаться, а как перезагружаться если чтобы начать заного надо протоптаться 3 минуты, пока добежишь до места, пока послушаешь болтовню, пока ползком не повырубаешь некоторых, после чего тебя видят сквозь стену и ваншотят, так как в отчаянии пытаешься вырубить противника, а этого просто по какой-то причине нельзя сделать. Разработчики не собираются это чинить, это понятно.
    -Артём. Я не могу понять почему он молчит, полковник Хлебников вполне хорошо говорит и это не выглядит странно, а Артём молчит, его спрашивают - он молчит, с ним ругаются - он молчит, шутки рассказывают - он молчит, жена кровью кашляет - он молчит, его хотят пришибить палкой - молчит и показывает пальцем. У Артёма даже актёр озвучки есть, вы что там делаете вообще?

    В итоге хочу сказать, что я не разочарован покупкой игры и не жалею времени, потраченное на неё. Но эти минусы... Остаётся надеяться, что следующая часть не повторит этих ошибок.    … Expand

Exodus on the other hand is the other extreme: i played it,with watching youtube only for a few times,and there are not much bug. However the world is very boring,it does not provide intresting places,the side quests are simple and boring,and are not separated from the main story line,which makes the open world of the game very shallow and empty. (Although it is a bit less true,for the Volga,but still,I did not found it creative engough.) I fell that the developers were not able to deicide wheter or they wanted to create bit CODlike FPS or a Fallout game,and the problem that sometimes we cannot too.

    Story:It is okay,not the best,but it was totally acceptable for me.
    Gameplay:sometimes frustrating,but mainly OK. However it is a serious problem that the game does not really teach how to use things,like map,electric instrument panel,air gun etc.

    The Good - so much natural dialogue.

    The Good

    - so much natural dialogue. Adds life to crew

    - dialogues with Anna are deep and gives you a deeper connection with her and your future above metro

    - a lot of extra optional dialogue and cutscenes that playout regardless if you're there or not making the environment feel alive, especially with life on the train.

    - your char is very vulnerable

    - you are very weak. It's realistic. You can get tired from sprinting a bit

    - you can choose to sit down and sometimes and listen to some lore.

    - variety of locations, with different weather and elements - you gain parts by taking mushrooms, but you lose light. Interesting trade-off.

    - the mutants are really well done. Some of the sea creatures are really nasty looking.

    - Ending wraps things up nicely.

    The Bad

    - hit detection is **** Enemy can be peeking behind cover with your reticule right over them. But it won't hit.

    - artyom has no voice, despite having monologues during loading screen

    - not having dialogue makes him feel like a shell

    - if you kill someone with a crossbow from far away, and other enemies see their comrade die, they automatically know where you are despite you being out of sight

    - you can be not in line of sight of opponent and they will still see you sometimes

    - enemies can be extremely difficult to spot sometimes especially if they have camo because there is no indicator or outline of their char model

    - tall grass and bushes do nothing in this game. Enemies will still see you if they've already spotted you.

    - the accent is very heavy, making it hard to understand if you aren't familiar with Russian accent english

    - some enemies sound like they are right next to you, but they're actually pretty far away.

    - checkpoints should be placed better. There should be a checkpoint right before are radioactive exploration area, and not a checkpoint while you're exploring are radioactive area. Because if you run out a filters and have not enough stuff to craft more then you are guaranteed to die. And if your checkpoint is one minute before you run out then you're screwed.

    - scripted boss fights are the worst. And the second mutant bear boss fight is just that. Worst part is that there's a believer with the lights behind it that makes you think you need to use it, but you can't. You have to damage the boss a lot then take damage purposely to trigger a cutscene, to end the fight.    … Expand

    After this sequel however, I am not sure anymore if I can keep thinking that, because even though the overall atmosphere was outstandingly captured throughout the whole variety of all the non-repetitive post-apocalyptic locations, making the gameplay not boring, considering there's not much originality in it, it was seriously difficult to enjoy the game as a whole, when most of the times someone is talking to you in the most generic monologues I have probably ever encountered in a game so far, unable to stop even after 5 minutes of observing that NPC in disbelief, just to see how many lines of monologues it has (not mentioning when those NPCs start to argue).

    This somehow doesn't make sense to me, since I've read all the books, and despite me not being able to enjoy the sequels as much as the first one, there's absolutely no doubt that it is really well-written. And the last thing I would say about Exodus is that it is well-written, because in comparison to the books, most of the dialogues here seem like a 15-year old's first try for a post-apo novel, making every character more and more intolerable with every attempt to relate to them, and care for them, resulting in the exact opposite.    … Expand

    - Metro Exodus has very good graphics. You should play this game in Windows 10. In Windows 7, it still works great, but it doesn't have ray tracing.

    - Ranger mode is the way it is meant to be played, but this has bad and unexpected setbacks.
    - The firearm sounds have improved.
    - Available in GOG, which is great, but still came 1 year after EPIC store exclusivity.

    The BAD:
    - The game has become a semi-open world adventure compared to the claustrophobic tunnels of previous games. And sadly, it has been executed poorly. It has a very predictable story and very bad writing. The developers were very good at FPS games, but not with RPG-style open world games and it shows very clearly.
    - EPIC exclusivity on the first year of release is BAD for everyone as it divides the fan base.
    - The game is full of ridiculous fetch quests and other stupid tasks with Artyom being a "silent protagonist". Artyom talks on loading screens but not during the actual game. WTF?! This makes the game VERY awkward as strangers you meet for the first time will very quickly tell you their WHOLE life story and regrets without your character saying anything or even introducing himself. Then after that massive expo dump, the characters you meet will quickly give you quests. I still can't believe that a kid asked me to get his teddy bear or a woman asked me to get a picture of her mother. Getting those things made me fight so many monsters and people. If someone asked me to kill so many to get their teddy bear in real life, I would shoot them right away.
    - The Ranger mode is very poorly executed for people who played it for the first time in ranger because the game removed all UI, even menus to select grenades or operate the radio while in the Aurora. It was very stupid having to explore buttons just to stand up from the radio table because the UI was invisible.
    - The crafting system was abused to the point of laziness. ALL merchants have been removed from the game which is very immersion breaking. Also Artyom mostly gets crafting materials. It's very wrong to see huge links of live ammunition and crafting materials in a table and when you hit "E" Artyom ignores the ammo and just gets the crafting materials. The game lets you craft everything except guns. This was clearly done as a LAZY alternative to come up with a currency and merchant stores. It was very bad and feels lazy. How can the world be short of anything when anybody can just craft ammo from commonly available materials?
    - The guns become dirty overtime, but they become dirty VERY quickly. It's like you cover them in mud after a few uses or if you fall in a swamp of water. That's now how this works in real life.
    - The characters are very POORLY WRITTEN. Everybody is just there to give you quests. There are so many Spartans but they all just guard the train with Artyom having to do EVERYTHING. This feels very stupid. Anna calls you "My Love" all the time. This feels so unlike her and very cheesy. You can tell she is going to die because the game tries so hard to force you to have an emotional connection with her. It is so unnatural.
    - The gun customization is VERY lazy and allows you to turn your assault rifle into a sniper rifle or submachinegun in just a few seconds. This is ridiculous and not how it works in real life. You need a gunsmith for this and proper tools and this takes lots of effort and time. You can't just do it with a backpack. It's very lazy, as this was just done to eliminate gun merchants.
    - There are no merchants in the game and no currency. Gone are the signature Military Grade Rounds. So much for post-apocalyptic immersion. This is a theme park dressed like Metro!
    - The enemies are very predictable one-dimensional Mad Max-style despots. And the game added ZOMBIES (called humanimals). Metro doesn't need zombies, but let's add lazy cliches and uncreative enemies for the walking dead fans, complete with crossbow.
    - The whole story is very stupid. You can tell they ran out of book material. After the dark ones, they just make all kinds of bad decisions on where to go on the train. Funny thing here is, if they want a peaceful place, there are so many nice spots you pass by while travelling, but everyone just ignores it. They have to pick a place heavily infested by bandits, radiation and monsters. What were they thinking?! This writing is very unMetro-like.
    - If you played the Metro 2033 and Last Light, you will definitely feel the loss of quality with this game. It's just a cheap attempt to turn Metro into a Borderlands or Stalker clone.    … Expand

    You have to hold E constantly; everything has a 1 second delay where you have to hold E... A vent looks like you can crouch through, well guess what you have to old E to go through you can't just crouch; very un-intuitive and clunky.
    Flashlights are visible through walls [RTX On] ; the game is too dark with no gamma slider? FOV is very low, and motion blur is forced. Causing dizziness / motion sickness and claustrophobia.
    The FOV is very low, claustrophobic; the games blood effects don't stretch to screen and there are many issues with a higher FOV; but they should know by now that people demand 60-90FOV; lower will make you literally dizzy/sick.
    There's lots of little stuff you get stuck on.
    There's no borders on the map, so you can go to the edge and jump off.

    Metro Exodus...

    Yeah...what can I say. I did not like it. I did not like 1st Metro, I really, really liked Metro number 2 and had high hopes for this game. Game failed to impress me. It is so odd because overall it is a good game and it has all the ingredients of the instant classic but these ingredients are not mixed well and the whole game level design, characters and voice acting are    Metro Exodus...

    Yeah...what can I say. I did not like it. I did not like 1st Metro, I really, really liked Metro number 2 and had high hopes for this game. Game failed to impress me. It is so odd because overall it is a good game and it has all the ingredients of the instant classic but these ingredients are not mixed well and the whole game level design, characters and voice acting are just uninspiring. It all feels just bland, rushed at times and so, so average.

    Lets start with positives. Game looks good, some locations can look spectacular but others are just good. I would say that it probably is the best looking Metro game in the whole franchise.

    Shooting is ok, it is nothing special. Headshoting enemies is ok, always go for the headshot to conserve precious ammo. Here is one of the main problems of the game. It's design. Game forces you to do non-lethal walkethrough and to use stealth as much as you can. The problem is that stealth mechanics are clunky and AI is almost breain dead so stealth is boring and you will intentionally go loud just for variety. Game also fails to give you a proper choice of how to approach the level. If you are spotted AI will start shooting at you, if you respond with violence kiss that good ending goodbye. You will not even know that by playing the game you want you will be penalized.

    On my walkethrough I did not kill any of the enemies who tried to surrender. I knocked everyone out and spared all slaves but hey, surprise, surprise I got bad ending. Like WTF? This does not make any sense !!! Game choices are sooo poorly designed, you do not even know that what you are doing might negatively affect the game's ending. It is so poorly designed and so poorly telegraphed to the player. SOme dialogue option and some moments clearly defined moments and dilemmas to choose would have been so much better.

    Do not even start me on voice acting. It is atrocious. I have found characters so irritating, their voices so bad, old colonel, Anna's father in particular. It was awful design choice and game would be so much better with original voice acting. There was this moment in game when one of the Spartans played guitar and sang in Russian. It was beautiful and so much better fitting than some awful english voice acting. Pretend russian accent spoken in english. awful, atrocious. No, I did not like it at all !

    Do not even get me started on the way developer used cut scenes. It is awful. In every big moment of the game you are not allowed to look where you want, you are not allowed to do anything, you are just passively observing and it so utterly boring. The all cool stuff, culmination of the whole level is presented to you with lazy ingame cutscene with super limited interaction - namely spamming of E button. The camera and all this cool stuff is watched not played.

    Game feels rushed, last two locations are much, much smaller in size. More linear and after interesting semi open world presented to us in first two locations game becomes more linear and ultimately fails its endevours of becoming the best in the series.

    I would place it somewhere above 1 and below 3. Not a dent on fallout series or any other open world game.

    Pros:
    - graphics
    - setting

    Cons:
    - semi open world does now work
    - tons of bugs
    - voice acting.
    - awful AI
    - uninspiring story
    - clunky stealthy mechanics
    - confusing morale code    … Expand

    The mechanics also got worse. So it's less fun to play and there is less motivation to keep going.

    Seriously if you struggle to find the motivation to keep going in this game, don't hope for a better part or even ending, to be honest it kind of get's worse. I didn't finish many games, but I somehow felt like I have to finish this one, to pay respect to the first two games, which I loved playing. If you're not bound to this emotional problem, I don't recommend playing this game. There are too many good ones out there, keep your money and spend it somewhere else.    … Expand

The graphics are mostly very nice, but oddly there are some areas and/or textures that are out of place and very muddy-looking or low-res when compared with the rest of the game. It seems fairly well optimized as my Ryzen 7 and GTX 1070 average over 100FPS at a mix of high and medium settings @ 1080p. My main issue with this game is the bugs. In the course of playing this game I was subjected to countless bugs, glitches, freezes and crashes. From assets floating in mid air to creatures forgetting to be hostile to you and shuffling around in circles en masse while you walk into them. Allies clip right through walls and my player has gotten physically stuck in obstacles in the map on several occasions. I have had numerous crashes, and was even rewarded for finishing the game by a crash to desktop immediately at the end of the credits. It feels to me that this game was rushed to market as it just doesn't have the smoothness or polish of a finished game. This is only made worse by the reputation of the developers based on the previous two games. All the bugs (I finished the game in two weeks and I did not have a single bug-free or glitch-free session) really just break the immersion and drag me out of the world of the Metro. It left a bittersweet taste in my mouth as I really wanted to love this game but just couldn't get past the technical issues.

    The game also suffers from some get stuck in enviromental issues and "i cant jump over this little rock" syndrome.

    And all the oh so tedious "sidequests" that are all the same, explore some ? with the same mobs in all of them, loot come crappy item that you dont need and repeat.
    Its like doing the most boring part of Witcher 3 all over again, but even more boring.

    The English translation is also cinrgeworthy, with Americans talking in "russian" accent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So close... and yet so far. This game represents such unrealized potential. Having played and enjoyed the earlier games, I was hoping for more... but got less. It's like the developer ran out of time or money and just started cutting corners. There are some good ideas, partially realized, but mostly it feels like a mish-mash of cobbled-together concepts that lack consistency and depth.

    The core idea of fleeing Moscow on a train and adventuring a post-nuclear countryside is a classic, yet for some reason plays out like a slide show of maps with only a couple of side quests tossed in for flavor. The linear tunnel shooter, with minimal choice and loads of cut-scenes, is never far away - forcing you to play your character exactly the way the game has decided he is going to be played. The ending has already been determined before you first load the game - all the rest is window dressing.

    I won't dwell on our mute protagonist, which has been mentioned in just about every game review that I've read. To have NPC's in the game come up and talk to you... and you just stand there silently... is a cringe-worthy moment in any game, and it happens far too frequently in this one.

    If the game starts with limited open-world adventuring, as you progress you end up back in the linear tunnel shooter full-time. Some of the levels are literally the exact same as in prior games, with NPC's dismissing the similarity as "all XYZ bunkers were built the same" or "these subway tunnels all have the same configuration". Sad.

    The end-game is actually so boring I found myself running through/past all the fights because I just wanted to see how the game was going to turn out. I no longer cared about my character, or collecting gear, because it felt more and more like nothing I did mattered. And I was right... because the predetermined end-game is so trite it could have been written by 13 year-old girls.

    The game IS beautiful. There were moments on the train where I truly stood and watched the landscape stream by. The settings are detailed and interestingly crafted - if far too linear. You will always know what you are supposed to be doing, and where you are supposed to be going. In some cases the path will even be lit by conveniently placed glowing mushrooms. Go here... loot this... go there... loot that... cutscene.

    The game ran fine on my RTX machine, but I still encountered some bugs and graphical anomalies - though no game crashes. NPC's walking through floors... objects floating in air... strange hit boxes that prevented you from hitting a monster even when you are firing at it at point-blank ranges.

    The UI is pretty bad as well. You hit "E" to loot a corpse, and hit "R" to strip a weapon that is lying on the ground... or else you hold down "E" to pick up the weapon and drop whatever weapon you are currently holding. Hit "F" to turn on your light... or hold "F" to equip your electrical charger... etc. You soon find yourself holding a key you meant to hit, or hitting a key you meant to hold, and you drop nice gear, or turn off your light - usually at inopportune moments.

    Ultimately, though, it is the flimsy game story that ruined the game for me. All the NPC's have as much depth as a puddle, and the dialogue is written for six year-olds. You end up not caring about what happens, because you don't care about the NPC's that are supposed to be so the reason you are risking your life. And the never-ending cut-scene at the end of the game? Is it 15 minutes? More? It just goes on and on and on... and trust me, it ain't worth it to stick around to the bitter end.
    Coulda woulda shoulda. Game was too short, and even so, I feel no desire to replay it given the linearity and lack of personal choice. The METRO franchise took a big step backwards with this game.

    [EDIT] I just learned there is a "good" ending to the game that requires you to sneak past and not kill a significant number of hostile mobs in the game. So if they see you, they shoot you. But if you shoot them in self-defense, you die at the end of the game. In at least one of these cases, I approached a group of (what I thought were neutral) soldiers, with my weapon holstered in the middle of the day. They immediately shot me down. And yet... I am supposed to protect these guys? A horrific game design decision - and one that doesn't make the game more enjoyable, but simply frustrating and tedious. Talk about suspension of dis-belief. If I am walking around in a nuclear wasteland and you open fire on me, expect to die. Even knowing this, I feel no desire to replay the game to get this "good" ending. The game was too tedious already when I got to fight the hostile mobs. Having to hide from them and sneak past... the thought makes my eyes bleed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to love this game more than I did, and perhaps my expectations is what made the game so boring for me. The truth is it is an 'open world lite' game with little reason to explore the map, save for a small chunk of locations. You will also find yourself caught on scenery too often, and the gun play is poor. "spoiler alert" Ammo management is rough for open world, since for some reason ammo is not held on the train you get early on. Story is great in my opinion, but I'm not sure the amount of time it took to beat the game was worth the money spent, especially since the time is padded by trying to go back to deal with bugs or game crashes. Overall, however, I would say the game is 'not bad' but $50 to $60 is a bit steep. I would wait for a sale, and steam support.… 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]
