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

Their is a massive lack of imagination with the crafting of the core game play, the way in which you interact with objects feels 15-20 years old. One of the big issues, is the mediocre A.I. This would be close to the worst A.I I have experienced in an FPS style game in 20 years. The previous two games, are a far better experience than this. For what it offers, with its lack of innovation and poor game play, give this a big miss until its on sale foe $20.

Developers have made unbelievable bad opening, filled with all and everything bad and bugged which this game have to offer - unsynced dialogues, jerky animations, lack of details, long, meaningless and pointless dialogues, crashes and system hangs... I've even beed banned on official discord channel for criticizing this game! Then asked for refund (WHICH WAS IGNORED BY EPIC STORE, YOU GUYS ARE WORST!)
    But once I've passed through opening into the open world - all that's stopped bothering me. Dialogues are still unsynced, but they are rare and I can go make some coffee while characters are blablablaing with mute protagonist pretending that he isn't mute, bugs are quite rare, I'm not forced into corridor shooter.
    Atmosphere of this game is very good, I like how shooting system works (and that I can disable all that cheaty aid systems, like hit markers), I like the game balance (though enemies are too easy for me on normal difficulty and resources are too scarse to change to higher difficulty level, but this is somewhat balances difficulty, I guess?), AI is quite comprehencive, I mostly like level design and overall I'm enjoying this game more than I've suffered in opening scenes.
    But still, thought this game is quite good, it can be waaaaaaaaaaaay better if only 4A had QA team or listened to them and polished it a little more. Like, make sure dialogues are synced with animations and other characters' dialogues, add some little details here and there, ensure that things which should stay on a table is actually staying on a table and not flying in plain air and so on. There is too many little glitches and imperfections, which looks like they've been made in a hurry and was ignored by devs (because they can't be unnoticed by QA), to give this game a better score.
    Oh, and I'll give -2 score points for EPIC STORE! You wanted more money ignoring and deceiving players in a last days before release - you take bad score.    … Expand

    Чего хотелось: настоящего шутера как фар край, с атмосферой метро. Но нет... этого нет. Куча модификаций оружия, но нельзя использовать все это так как патронов нет. Убивать противников светом, что?! В руках автомат, а вы пауков зажигалкой убиваете. Эпик фейл.

    Тут смотрел начальные ролики думал, ну все сейчас какой нить рпк или м-60 соберу, без глушителя, чтоб ВСЕ слышали Артем идёт. Забрасывая как рембо, гранатами, коктейлями молотова. Без всякого стелса, ну кто хочет может через стелс, со снайперки с далека, без глушителя, чтоб все слышали. Под красивую картинку метро.
    Но нет, этого не завезли.
    А завезли только:
    куча роликов, процентов так 25% игры.
    QTE на нас напали, мы жмем F, выигрываем бой, процентов так 35% от ВСЕЙ игры.
    20% шароебимся по всей карте в поисках 1-2 патронов.
    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

    Атмосферность и сюжет - тут в принципе все отлично, играть очень интересно и пейзажи крайне захватывающие, то что разработчики вложили душу в дизайн видно даже невооруженным глазом (жаль западным игрокам не понять).
    Однако, я очень сильно надеюсь что разработчики еще поработают над этой игрой (техническое исполнение ну очень кривое), не совсем понятно зачем было переносить релиз на более ранний срок если продукт откровенно говоря - сырой.

    As for the game it is good, bordering on great at moments but falls flat with highly repetitive combat, underwhelming enemies mostly due to questionable AI, and bugs (audio, pathing, some texture, FPS issues, and saved games that are occasionally put in the wrong folder!).

    The worst two complaints are the dropped sense of alien qualities (anomalies are poorly integrated, dark ones are MIA, etc), as well as the artificially linear nature of many parts of the game. While you were in the Metro you only had singular pathways so that was immersive, but now you are supposedly free, but that is not really evident. Your train is the new metro, and you are just moving from station to station clearing each with copypasta combat that amounts to kill everything that moves. It is just too bad that they did not develop the Stalker-ish aspects now that they have more room to play in, or continue the story path that the first two Metro games was developing. I consider this more of a soft reboot than a sequel.

    As for performance, the Xbox version seems to run quite well. The PC port is far less stable. At least the Epic store was shamed into a refund policy before Exodus was released. While 4A promised a pre-release fix for many of these issues they seem to have missed that deadline.

The second open world area absolutely killed this game. It's simply horrendous.

    Speaking of the open world and the new crafting system, it's so obvious that it's just designed to be a time sink and not to be actually fun. Exploration in particular is not rewarding at all. All in all, this whole new approach just makes the game more streamlined and not better in any way from my point of view. What made the franchise unique is gone. It's too bad, because, when Metro Exodus actually tries to be Metro instead of any other boring open world game, it's actually quite alright and definitely had its moments, although the story was rather uninspired as well.    … Expand

    The GOOD:
    - 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.
    - I like the backpack system. But the crafting system is abused and poorly executed. - 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    The GOOD:
    - 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.
    - I like the backpack system. But the crafting system is abused and poorly executed.
    - 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

    As a longtime fan of the Metro games, I have to say that this was my least favorite entry in the series. The story is good, and as a final game it wraps up the trilogy well. 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.

The story is good, and as a final game it wraps up the trilogy well. 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.

    Something about the game gives my a constant mild headache. No performance issues and graphics look really nice - ray tracing doesn't add anything BTW. Dialogs and voices are super tedious and all I can think is 'Stop talking'. Hate that enemies respawn if you walk away from an area, e.g. just to make more bullets. At least with a controller, it's very easy to waste a lot of bullets toSomething about the game gives my a constant mild headache.

Hate that enemies respawn if you walk away from an area, e.g. just to make more bullets. At least with a controller, it's very easy to waste a lot of bullets to kill just a simple enemy, cool weapons though. Gives the impression of open-world but is far from it. Sound positioning does not work very well, not very binaural if you know what I mean. I'm gonna stop playing now after some 15 hours due to the headaches and game not being very inspiring.… Expand

    The game is not bad. It's just mediocre in everything except plot. Mediocre gunfight, mediocre gameplay. Plot however is just stupid. It contains a lot of bizarre moments and just not interesting.

    I expected non linear Fallout 4 style gameplay for such a large file sized game, what I got was a game that thinks graphics and some pseudo sandbox maps will make a great game, non linear sandbox is like a cork board with random pins placed all over it, that lead to a choice of several endings, what this game is....just another sad RTX attempt like Battlefield v, the game looks good, atI expected non linear Fallout 4 style gameplay for such a large file sized game, what I got was a game that thinks graphics and some pseudo sandbox maps will make a great game, non linear sandbox is like a cork board with random pins placed all over it, that lead to a choice of several endings, what this game is....just another sad RTX attempt like Battlefield v, the game looks good, at times even pulls you in a little with the nice reflections, but something about the game feels very heavy, a slow crawl with a barrage of objectives or button pressing to crawl under things right from the start, which bring the whole mood to a very heavy and thick experience.
    Sandbox non linear to me means a free choice of how and when you attempt a quest within the story, this game basically just constantly tells you what has to be done with no real choice or direction to travel otherwise, it feels like working a second job playing this game.
    Imagine the perfect cup of coffee, with just the right amount of cream, sugar if that's your thing, even a little bit of head from it being fresh pressed......now take that same good coffee and pour it into a cup with a gratuitous amount of creamer, im talking half a container of heavy cream, the coffee is now thick, tasting more of a tart cream than of actual coffee, sliding down the back of your throat like a cap full of Pepto-Bismol...….that to me is the Metro Exodus experience.
    Once I finish the game in full, I may change the review if the actual story can redeem the false advertising, but all I can say now is if the game keeps up the same theme, I might even uninstall before the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am disappointed.
    - why in this game they add so many interaction with boat. Mechaniclly its very bad. I need to swim and enemys attacked me and I cant even shoot ! And hold E to ger back and off
    - cutscens too long. I don't want to hear monologs if I can't choose questions or answers
    - story In first metro we had Dark Ones next Pavel and here boring talking with complaining about everything.
    - atmosphere is poor. In first metro you feel insecurity going from one station to another. Who you gonna meet and what are thier intentions. For this day I remember place in metro where was even a strip club or in other time place where people was in quarantine dying. Here you won;t even see a town
    - soldiers. What can I say here I don't feel like even be around soldiers. In Metro 2033 on D6 I remember how I was in mission and how proper soldiers talk and act. I felt like in team, Here I can;t say I feel like in team because I allways go alone !
    - Gameplay. I hate when game force me to play on one way. Game force me to play like im metal gear solid, I can't go front becasue game will give you bad ending.
    - Open world. Very empty without missions and like above if you meet someone you can't talk with him or kill...

    I am sure they could make this game mcuh better...    … Expand

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

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

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