    I wish they would have just went one way or the other, open world or true to the metro cramped underground levels.

I like the tactical combat, hated the fake morality system and ending it's tied to. I enjoyed the Caspian and Volga open worlds but they were fairly shallow as far as side missions and exploration. The last level was classic metro as were the first levels. But the filler levels of cannibals, forest etc could have been skipped, adds little to nothing. The obnoxious predictable "taking away all your weapons" to introduce garbage other ones, ugh The cringey dialogue and mandatory stuff that went along with it was really bad. Dumb characters and story overall. STILL has bugs today but the crashing seems to be patched up, if you still have that the answer is usually to turn off aa and turn most things down. I didn't really get into the replaying levels much after finishing kinda boring. SLOW loading times. Map system sucks. Boat mechanics are garbage, the mighty commando can't swim I guess and it's very frustrating to find where you can get off the boat in some levels.
    -DLC 1 is just an extended cutscene with some flamethrower combat, almost could just be a free dlc of cut from the main game flashback etc
    -DLC 2 is actually pretty good. This is where you can see the garbage that the "map" mechanic is, when you have to go online to find where to go then you have failed game design. Terrible boat mechanics are also highlighted in this one.    … Expand

My sniper doesn't hit guy, when directly aiming at him, but he kills me on 100m with shotgun through 10 cm hole mkay... I don't know why we get so much high input lag games today, worse than in 2000. I guess it's terrible optimization... This game is terrible even on medium difficulty and level design is bad and bugged. You can't get up and than you die to flying mutant and have to replay whole part again... There is so high input lag, you can't hit anything even on medium it is problem many times...

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Exodus appears to have significant technical issues even in 2020. Audio has significant problems with relative dialogue/volume and the spatial simulation of sound. Enemies who are 100 metres away sound like they are inches away, and you have to keep turning your head to try and triangulate a source of noise. Dialogue audio is extremely poor as well, with random volumes at random distancesExodus appears to have significant technical issues even in 2020. Audio has significant problems with relative dialogue/volume and the spatial simulation of sound. Enemies who are 100 metres away sound like they are inches away, and you have to keep turning your head to try and triangulate a source of noise. Dialogue audio is extremely poor as well, with random volumes at random distances and directions. Some people claim to have mitigated this by toggling a spatial sound setting in-game. I have had no success there, but using headphones has helped somewhat.
    The maps themselves experience significant clipping problems with the protagonist passing through solid objects at times. Enemies unfortunately do this a lot more, both before and after they are shot, breaking immersion. They also have tendency to shudder and shake once dead.
    Looking through the binoculars or scopes will reveal significant texture pop-in issues, as well as weird stop-motion animation at a distance.
    Weapon customisation is an interesting feature, and somewhat makes up for the limited variety of weapons.
    Like the previous Metro games, the background world's artwork is very good. The painted dysoptian world feels both real and plausible. The designs of both urban ruins and the wilderness have been well thought out against the human disaster that precedes all the metro games.
    Overall, it feels like mishmash of good literary ideas/artwork and poor technical execution.

    Disappointment. Wasted potential.

    I don't understand how it was possible to create such a dull game in this interesting world. Metro 1 and 2 created this world with care and great story telling and this third iteration destroys it all, like a toddler smashing his tower of bricks. They finally left the underground and try to find out how the world is after nuclear Armageddon, only to    Disappointment. Wasted potential.

    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

    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

    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

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

    This game has much less horror elements than the previous series as they added more sunny vibe to the game which I really do not like. It is still a good game but they failed to differentiate on what is scary and what is annoying which I see a lot in the enemies and mutants.

    More metro...but no. 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.

    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.

    * Plot itself is LOL.

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

    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.

    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.

    +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.

    Самые два сильно бросающихся недостатка игры,    Да это украинская игра, но про Московское метро, и у меня бы не было особых претензий к озвучке и к очередным аляповатым, торчащих из каждого угла — «мля, пацаны, я маслину словил», если бы игру делали про киевское метро, но разработчики эксплуатируют «русский мир», и озвучку могли завезти соответствующую, при этом это не так сложно и дорого.
    Самые два сильно бросающихся недостатка игры, как по мне - это действительно слабый сюжет и постоянная неуместная «советизация» окружения. И если по книге, было четко понятна мотивация Артема и его желание исхода, после очередных выходов на поверхность для улавливания сигнала с других городов, который был совершен только им одним! с Анной и на тойоте. (всех других «коллективное метро» соблазнило, либо убило. и мельник был нейтрал ивил) то в игре этот выход притянут за уши, и прямо ощущается как сценарий этой игры пришит белыми нитками - искусственно подмененный наивный идиот мельник, бравая команда однокашников дурачков с очевидно тупой мимикой и анимацией на пафосно вычурном пердимонокле - паровом поезде с уже отчеканенными подстаканниками. игру явно хотели продать американцам и другим западным игрокам, которые не смогут отличить украинца от русского или белоруса ни разу не были в России. И которым очень зайдет эта условная водка, балалайка и медведь. все эти Арээтььоом, огурцы в банке, ковры на стенах, старые модели поездов и турникетов, которых давным давно в московском метро уже не было к 2013 году (время начала катастрофы по хронологии вселенной) и которым явно не место в постапокалиптичной России 2035 года. Пузатые мониторы допотопных комплюктеров, ржавые корпуса москвичей 2138, советские плакаты 86-89, цой на кассетных пленках, шапки-ушанки, одни и те же модели старых ящиков и настольных ламп перекочевавших из прошлых частей с минимальными изменениями - все это выдает дизайнерские ошибки и лень. и может быть это было уместно в первой игре по метро на участках красной линии и очень редких занырах на поверхность радиоактивной Москвы 2033 года на 2-3 минуты пока хватало фильтра, но не в игре 2019. Была возможность сделать реальный добротный Российский постапокалипсис, а получились хрущобы и НИИХУиЯ (научно исследовательский институт химических удобрений и ядов) максимум тянет на аддон к ласт лайту. они даже звук метательного ножа не поменяли с прошлой игры. Все эти здания 70х годов постройки. я что гуляю по воспоминаниям и впечатлениям господина Прохорова от поездки по Москве 91 года?! нет, спасибо не надо, я лучше на pastvu зайду, или почитаю соответствующий пост Варламова про прогулку по Москве 93 года.
    что они вообще 5 лет делали?! скучный финал, море багов, скандал с эпик и стим стором. игра ощущается как отрезанный ломоть. фейл 2019 года для меня.5 из 10. Колхоз на выезде.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    It was alright
    the graphics are great,the guns feel amazing though it sucks that you are always out of ammo.
    I didn't experience that many bugs,but I had to restart a chapter 2 times because of crashing while the game was loading.

    Well what can i say about this game.. A lot of bugs which cant afford to move on in a game.
    First location was completely overbugged
    Ive tried to move on but every time when i was opening a door suddenly ive been getting a headshot from nowhere.. Location overload with T posed men seems great . Its not like this game is weak but in same way there is no point to give 10/10 even 9/10    Well what can i say about this game.. A lot of bugs which cant afford to move on in a game.

    Amazing mechanics, fantastic visuals, however the story and dialogue falls flat for me in comparison to the two previous entries.

    Ну я даже не знаю как это комментировать. Комп у меня не слабый, но игра все равно умудряется глючить и проседать даже на минимальных настройках графики. Но это ещё не страшно, так как эти проседы в фас случаются не так часто. Самое ужасное - поломка сохранений. Сразу скажу, что я до покупки лицензии играл на пиратке и все было хорошо, но вот с лицензией начался сущий ад. Постоянно как яНу я даже не знаю как это комментировать.

Самое ужасное - поломка сохранений. Сразу скажу, что я до покупки лицензии играл на пиратке и все было хорошо, но вот с лицензией начался сущий ад. 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

    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

    The game from Ukrainians encouraging war in Ukraine. Everything you need to know about it. Buying the game - you support the killing of Ukrainians.

    Игра от украинцев поощряющих войну в Украине. Все что нужно знать про нее. Покупая игру - вы поддерживаете убийства Украинцев.

    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.

    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).

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    … 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]
