    Gameplay: Great shooter, solid crafting and poor climbing. Prepare to be disappointed in the number of available guns. There is even less of them than in Metro 2033. Shotguns are useless now, since you will fight non-human enemies like 3 times (it's not like there are none, it's just that you can avoid the pain of fighting them).

There is even less of them than in Metro 2033. Shotguns are useless now, since you will fight non-human enemies like 3 times (it's not like there are none, it's just that you can avoid the pain of fighting them). The first and last mission is so crammed with cutscenes that i felt like watching an interactive movie. The AI is as dumb as in the previous games, maybe even worse (it's unforgiving for such a new game). 2,5/5

    Visuals: Massive update from the previous ones. Still can't skip cutscenes RIP. The only problems that i have are mouth animation (looks super creepy) and the black hole bug (screen starts to get darker and darker in the middle for no reason). 2,5/2,5

    Story: Don't bother reading books. Everybody is nice now. It doesn't follow the books, it doesn't describe some event that is referenced in the books, it's a complete alternative dimension. The only characters from the books are Artyom, his wife and her dad. Everybody else is made up for this game. The story feels kinda weird, doesn't fit to the atmosphere at all (if previous games/books were hardcore apocalypse, this one is medium-easy apocalypse), leaves many things unanswered (most likely because nobody had the balls to tell). 1,5/2,5

    Not as good as Metro Last light. The atmosphere is good but other are mid. Boring main story (Metro Last Light is way better but Sam's story and the two colonels DLCs are good tho) and Creatures design. But the great thing about Metro series (like Stalker series) is that you can hear the conversation between NPCs, they have many stories to tell.

    + 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.

    Kitapları okumuş ve önceki iki oyunu oynamış biri olarak keşke yarı-openworld gibi bir olaya girmeselerdi diyorum. Linear olması bu oyuna daha çok yakışıyordu. Her oyunun openworld olmasına gerek yok.
    Oyun uzun değil fakat yarısında biraz sıkıldığımı hissettim. Yine de oyunu biraz zorlayarak bitirebildim.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Спустя 4 с лишним года после релиза, пропустив скандал с эксклюзивностью в EGS и отмену русских игроков, я наконец прошел Metro Exodus. И мне есть что по ней сказать. Это прекрасная игра (ААА-уровня, бла-бла-бла, не буду говорить штампами из обзоров, я уже слишком много их пересмотрел). Разработчики совершенно не зря потратили на нее 6 лет. Это точно самый амбициозный проект, созданный в СНГ и один из лучших одиночных шутеров от первого лица, как и предыдущие части. Итак, плюсы: 1) графика - она не просто прекрасна, она просто великолепна, даже на своем ноуте с AMD-шным железом за 30 к я это ощутил; 2) оптимизация (см. выше цену моего железа); 3) атмосфера - постапокалипсис на месте, хоть его и стало меньше, чем раньше; вместо полноценного постапокалипсиса здесь роуд муви+выживание в дикой природе с ролевыми элементами; 4) оружие и все, что с ним связано. Мне действительно понравилось находить стволы, устанавливать улучшения и просто стрелять; 5) концовка, хорошая+плохая, плохая мне понравилась больше, потому что там присутствуют персонажи из прошлых частей и в целом ощущение, что ты получил именно то, что заслужил, как бы игра ни склоняла тебя на "светлую" сторону. Пожалуй, с плюсами покончено, переходим к минусам, они как для меня весомее: 1) слабый сюжет, банальный и ограниченный. Персонажи совершают нелогичные, опрометчивые поступки, но вместо завершения пути продолжают двигаться; 2) локации. Этот пункт как бы отдельный, здесь я приведу мой список карт от лучшей к худшей: Волга - кайф от ощущения открытого пространства и новых механик; Новосибирск - ты наездился по России и Каспию, и спускаешься обратно в метро, хотя поверхность здесь выполнена прекрасно; Москва - да, самые понравившиеся мне карты выполнены в зимнем антураже и незамысловаты; Каспий - после весны сразу в песок, но интересно; Ямантау - клюква, клоунада, кошмар, который происходит просто потому что; Тайга - фух, ну тут я реально задолбался. Как еще объяснить - для хорошей концовки нельзя никого убивать, пройти незамеченным НЕВЫПОЛНИМО, но и просто мимо всех пробежать не выйдет - свалишься в воду или застрелят в спину; 3) еще один минус - сложность - мой субъективный взгляд на неверное решение ПОЛНОГО отключения интерфейса в игре. Это относится к режиму рейнджер хардкор; 4) часто встречающиеся забагованные анимации; 5) молчаливость главного героя - вкупе с говорливостью всех остальных дарит незабываемое ощущение уныния. Плюсы есть, минусы есть. Ну, вот и все, итог. Свои мысли как мог изложил выше. Игра мне понравилась, для меня это правда был интересный опыт. Ее есть ради чего пройти. Но рекомендовать из-за такого количества минусов я ее не могу. Это - честно. Expand

    This is my Honest opinion playing metro Exodus the first time, sorry about the grammar, This is not my first language. I finished the story and stopped playing the Sam dlc content.
    It started pretty interesting with the dark atmosphere, however, as the story went by, noticed a lot of plot holes. I just ignored it and continued playing because it might get interesting again, but it did not. As I play it even more it became a chore to do things in a linear path. It is a semi open world and it doesn't work for me. Sometimes I want to go that way, or hop that way, but there are invisible walls everywhere and it forces you to just do one single path. If they want to go that way, they should have stayed to a clear single path map like their earlier games that won't let you explore places that you can't really explore.
    Then, I also purchased the DLC, The American is too noisy complaining about most of the stuff. It got too irritating plus too boring with the same tunnels and spiders and switches. Everything is the same even if you are in a new different location. Maybe this is just a small group of people that's why they weren't able to add more details. It is an okay game. But again, this is not for me.
    My standard of a game when it comes to open world is The Witcher Wild hunt and Dying light 2
    In Linear single player games, Last of Us, Mass effect or Half Life.

    They finally left the underground and try to find out how the world is after nuclear Armageddon, only to meet bad guys that are as deep as the puddles of waste water our protagonist drowns in over and over again.

    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.

    Solid shooter with really nice graphics. Technically it is a bit lacking - i had issues with flickering, stuttering and crashes on enhanced edition. The plot was also boring and repetitive. Otherwise good game but 7/10 overall.

Постоянно как я выхожу в главное меню прилетает уведомление о поломке сохранений и мне приходится перепроходить всю главу заново. Да ещё и игра запускается только в Save режиме, в противном случае - бесконечная загрузка после заставки. В пиратском репаке такого никогда не было и это уникальный случай - пираты взломали игру и из-за этого она стала лучше работать. Короче, в плане сюжета все хорошо, механики - нормальные, а с технической стороны это тихий ужас с громким матом. И разработчики никак это не исправляют Expand

    Good game with bad marketing. Even though I was enjoying the game, in the background... the aftertaste of disappointment still gnawed when.

    Next time I will be careful about both Koch media, deep silver and studio 4A. Sometimes

    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.

Лично мне понравилось решение разработчиков расширить локации,но им нужно было делать игру с полноценным открытым миром,возможно даже с полноценным Метро. Музыки,которая врезалась в душу,нет. Лишь в конце композиторы что-то попытались из себя выдавить,но драмодел из Глуховского,как мы выяснили,слабый. По итогу,я получил довольно слабую игру,но не оказался совсем разочарован,в конце-концов,скучно мне не было на протяжении всей компании,а отдельные реплики вызвали у меня ухмылку.

    Overall Play time including both DLC: 35hrs

    MAJOR BUG/GLITCHES

    Base Game: Even after 3 years this is still present in the game as it happens in most playthrough on both PC and console. In the Caspian Desert you have to go to the lighthouse for a mission. However, the game black screens and you have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. After some research on Reddit, the workaround, is to lower all your settings, look down to the floor in the game and proceed up the ramp toward the lighthouse. Expect hiccups along the way and save as you move forward whilst looking down. It took me 22 attempts and 1hr 10mins to get lucky.

    DLC1: Major glitch. After New Years speech cutscene the game black screens and cuts audio. The workaround I found was to drop quality to Med, Tex Fil to 4x, shading 1.0 and Vsync ON. Took 8 attempts 25min.

    INTRO

    I will not cover the narrative and will cover technical elements. I have played the previous two games and I thought they were both decent games for what they are. Having said that, I want to preface my review by mentioning that I think the games have suffered a little bit due to the hype it receives by its fans. But at the same time the series is far from being terrible as some have claimed and actually the series as a whole and this game is of a good standard if you consider it for what it is. A post-apocalyptic FPS, containing survival horror elements, and with immersion as what I would say as its primary focus. Besides that, the game is brought down by its technical issues.

    GAMEPLAY

    Gunplay - Gunplay is solid on PC. Definitely an improvement from LL. The only issue I encountered was dodgy hitboxes as sometimes I would line up a perfect headshot and for whatever reason the bullet would just miss. Luckily, I did not encounter hitbox issues often and it mainly occurred in the first region of the game.

    Movement - Still frustrating like the old games. Artyom still struggles to hop on to platforms that are 2ft tall and if you attempt to jump around you can get stuck. Some have complained about the short sprinting time but I didn't see the issue. Perhaps after a few years there was a patch to adjust this. I think the main issue with movement is how animation heavy simple actions are. One has to 'press E' to open doors and climb ladders. This could be considered quite outdated as a game mechanic as it feels like autonomy is being taken away from the player.

    Stealth - Stealth has always been a key gameplay element to the Metro series and it remains so here. However, Metro Exodus suffers from poor stealth mechanics this time around. One glaring issue I experienced very early on in the first region was that enemies could spot me through walls. I was crouching around a settlement where all enemies where inside. All of a sudden, enemies were on alert, I quick loaded a few times to see where I had gone wrong but I hadn't. Thankfully, this wasn't a recurring issue and only happened 5-6 times in certain areas. But when it did happen it totally destroyed any and all feelings of immersion.

    Crafting - Crafting remains the same but two new features were introduced. Firstly, being able to switch weapon attachments on the fly which of course is brilliant. When the Moon is out you can now use NV scope and switch it out if you have been out till the sun comes up. Secondly, although not crafting, weapon maintenance is required as you have to clean your weapon at crafting tables using liquid resources. Weapons deteriorate in the field affecting stats or jamming the bullet mid fight but honestly the impact is hardly noticeable. Many dislike this feature, and I think it is a bit gimmicky as you are cleaning your weapon with the 'E' key and it can be argued that it doesn't really help with enhancing immersion at all.

    WORLD/EXPLORATION

    Semi-open world areas exist in Exodus and its not for the better. Volga the snow topped first area is just a pain to traverse. I had no fun in this opening area and I think it was a bad idea to open up with this map. I have read about many players dropping the game after the first 3-4 hours due to not having any fun in the first area. Volga, is part land and part water and getting about in a row boat is slow and annoying as you will be often attacked whilst rowing. The second area is the Caspian Desert and here you can use a car to travel. That sounds nice right? Until you get it stuck due to the bumpy terrain. Save often because this will most certainly happen. Besides traversal issues, my main gripe is with the uninteresting world. These semi-open worlds are boring, its just a cycle of visit here and clear area. Nothing special ever happens and there isn't nothing special to look at either despite the game being gorgeous itself in terms of graphics. The game's flow and exploration shines brightest during the more linear sections which proves bigger isn't always better.

    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.

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.

    I played this game only in 2021. I really liked semi-opened world what reminds me STALKER series.
    The atmosphere is nice in Volga zone. But nothing else to say.

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

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

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