А как известно в таких реалиях человеческая жизнь ценится очень низко. Это игра не плоха, но на игру года или шедевр не тянет. Вот например если я не умею играть по стелсу или не хочу этого делать? Почему в итоге плохая концовка? Про баги говорить нечего. Они те же что и в первом Метро. Ну надеюсь пофиксят патчами. Игра эта на 6 - 7 баллов максимум.

    Looks good, nice story and cool areas to explore. However, combat is just so very boring. There is nothing novel about it. It's your standard point and shoot experience that was outdated already 15 years ago. Boring weapons that look realistic but have arcade behavior like ridiculously short range. No room for improvisation like throwing items or setting up traps using the environment.Looks good, nice story and cool areas to explore. However, combat is just so very boring.

    For some reason I thought it would be something like Prey with room for creativity. But nope, this game has combat that is as basic and boring as it gets.

    Actually, after several hours of gameplay, I've had to change my review into more positive. This game is quite good as for me (but I must agree that it's not for everyone).

This game is quite good as for me (but I must agree that it's not for everyone). 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.

    For me this game was barely a 6/10. The big issues with the game -

    The voice acting is bad, really bad, its like they just grabbed some random people off the street and said, "hey read this". There is zero buy in with the characters due to the lack of emotion and constant monotone delivery acted by people whom should never voice act in a game ever again. This game has worst sound

    This game has worst sound design I have encountered ever in a game. You can move half a foot and all of a sudden the gale force winds go silent, step back and the gale winds return. You can be 3 rooms away from a character and hear them better than the character trying to brief you on the next mission. The A.I can hear to an exact pinpoint location, where your silent arrow came from, but trying to locate the enemy by sound is impossible. You think someone is 5 feet behind you, nope they are in fact 3 buildings away and in front.

    I am running an RTX card and at times this game looks bad, the textures are rough, the water doesn't look close to being water from distance and the general look of characters could have been from a game 10 years ago,

    The gameplay is old - Cliche after cliche scripted events, when you think something might happen, 100% of the time it does and the surprises along the way are so 1990's it makes the entire immersive experience feel rushed and lacking any innovation. The world itself is not engaging or interesting. I felt zero challenge when playing this game on hardcore. The game doesn't reward what limited exploring it has, you can just hit the main mission areas in each of the small handful of unique areas, of which I found none to be anywhere near as interesting as the original setting in Moscow.

    A.I - The horrendous A.I this game has, needs to be experienced to be believed, in fact i can't recall any other FPS game in the last 20 years with a worse A.I.

    BTW, it is the worst Metro game of the series, it has lost its charm, challenge and engaging story.

    В первые две игры не играл, но вот молчание Артёма напрягает, если ему что-то говорят или спрашивают, после этого бывает пауза и складывается ощущение что Артём должен бы ответить, но он просто стоит и молчит.

The more open map is definitely one of the greatest point in this game but the feel of urgency is really made the side quest somewhat irrelevant. The graphic is beautiful but sadly there's not many option for PC gamer to customize to find balance performance and look. Cut scenes mainly bad because of voice acting and sound / music choices. The awkward pause, the overlapping voices, and the sound FX when you thought it's gonna be climax scene but in the end it's just feels off. The story is good but at some point it's predictable. Artyom cannot speaks in-game just heartbreaking in a story driven game. The immersion and interaction with other members are just a turn off. But in the end it's the end of Artyom's journey and it's a good send off. FPS and game play mechanics are below average of any modern shooters. The movements are clunky, slow and heavy, you walk like a turtle doing a baby step. Jumping over a small ledge can triggered the slow animation. The AI is not great. Shot can miss when you thought you had a clear shot of the enemy even on a close distance. Crafting another point of the game that can feels unnecessary. Playing pacifist doesn't really need that much ammo since you probably only use it for mutants though sometimes it's just not worth it to fight some mutants.

    So in the end the game is good. Just some technical choices that developers made is not great.

    What a grate franchise made into something predictable and like every thing else. It makes for a good S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, just not a good Metro game.
    The games loss of identity is contributed to the opening of the games world into a semi-open one and it also has a number of bugs and bad collision (It has enough bugs for a rain forest)
    . Cramped spaces, dirt, supernatural and darkness are the things that made this game great and that is what was lost here (with some exceptions...)
    When you went outside in the last two games, you had a realization that you are not on the top of the food chain, that this place is inhospitable and dangerous and that the radiation and natures new predators will inevitably make you crawl back into the darkness of the metro! It was beautiful!
    This is all lost now since there is no more radiation, your choices dont matter since if you **** up, you can run away and your mistakes are forgiven and forgotten, making the game easier and more forgiving.
    Also, who asked for the crafting, the big part of the game is scarcity, making you decide if you want to fight or try to sneak trough (especially on the hardest difficulty where you need to count the bullets to try to keep the track and this makes you play the game the way it was made to be played)
    Also, the pre-war bullets were a great compromise between having an edge in the fight and buying gear. It was in your risk since the places that had a shop were few and far in between...
    There are a few places that feel like a true metro game, namely the start, the end and a few places like the spider tunnel and the hydro dam. In the spider tunnels you have the fire ammo for tikar and that makes the level to easy. People who loved Metro series for its unique elements will not find them in this one. Also, Casoian sea map has a game breaking bug and the tech support asks you to start the chapter from the start so good luck if you went trough the entire map before doing this part. This is not PC exclusive problem...
    Supernatural themes are almost non existent.
    Also the irony of having the bad ending be the more interesting one and the one with the true nature of the game... The good one was ok, just not as good...
    This is truly a sad story of a great idea destroyed by the people who seem not to understand what made their games great!

    This review did not look into the thing with epic and did not contribute to the score. This is not a 4A problem. It was a Deep Silver choice and the game will not be punished for that...

    First and foremost, i have to say that i really enjoyed Metro Last Light and the original iteration of th Metro series. A lot of that due to the fact, that the atmosphere and story was interesting, conclususive and fresh.
    both parts were produced, working together with the author of the novel, gluchowski, and maybe thats exactly what is lacking in exodus.

    i don´t care so much about graphics, they are allright in exodus, gunplay is pretty bad, but well i could live with that too, but man, the acting and story are pretty terrible in the first hour of the game.
    I´m even contemplating if i should even bother to keep playing the game. also the atmosphere of the first games was a tightly woven concept, whereas exodus doesn´t have that character, it seems pretty random honestly. level design is pretty boring as well. damn, that was a pretty smart move, to get epic as the exclusive distributing platform, now people are complaining about that, instead of the fact, that this is a mediocre game.
    6/10 would refund on steam as well

    - 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...

Os dialogos são nonsense e tudo parece muito irreal.

    Tecnicamente o jogo falha em propor o que o player realmente quer. Não temos opcoes como FOV, Acelererção de mira e sensibilidade precisas (ADS e Hipfire). Voce consegue editar algumas dessas coisas mexendo nos arquivos do jogo, mas nada ingame. Na real, qual o problema de por isso nas configurações do menu?

Let’s talk about the bugs , oh my god sometimes it’s unplayable, those frame rate drops different objects constantly going in other objects. Shooting behind the edges is not accurate at all ! Gunplay isn’t good as well , sometimes it feels this game physics were based on gravity on moon because when you start running on uneven surface it feels like your are flying . Overall I don’t suggest the game just go read the novel and enjoy the nice story , this game is really overrated and awfully optimized. Expand

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.

    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.

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 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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Экзодус – посредственная игра и ни разу не Метро. Это какой-то Far Cry с переводным дураком и матерями-одиночками. Причем наиболее удались именно подземные коридорные миссии, а весь этот типа открытый мир на поверхности вызывает только недоумение и вопрос "а вот нахера?".
    Самое печальное в этой всей истории – это сюжет. Его, по сути, нет. Если вы не считаете за сюжет что-то типа «мы ищем новый дом, но Подмосковье, где все ок (кроме мутантов, но они везде, как показала практика) нам не годится почему-то». В остальном у нас какие-то тактические задачи, мол, нужны спутниковые снимки из Каспия-1 и на чем-то уехать оттуда. Надо добраться до Авроры и уехать отсюда к херам (2 раза). И везде нам тонко намекают, мол, тут херово, но вот в Новосибирске… Ну, и как в приснопамятной HL2 вы уже понимаете, что того самого Новосиба вам не избежать.
    И вот проходишь ты игру, смотришь титры и думаешь, блин вот во что я только что играл? И вроде на одном дыхании прошел и вроде неплохо было все…а как будто обертку красивую развернул, а там – говно вместо конфеты. Игра ни о чем, филер какой-то вместо достойного завершения серии. Сука, как Масс Эффект – решаются судьбы Галактики, эпичное превозмогание, вроде даже последняя часть более-менее, но финал обсерает все и ты такое сидишь и, мол, какого хера? Только вместо цветной мутотени тут вся разница в количестве могил (острая лучевая болезнь переливанием крови не лечится, даже легкая форма). Что с черными? Они вроде как сквозная тема первых двух частей, а в третьей как будто и нет их (можно мельком увидеть в трех местах, как говорят Интернеты, но сюжетно они не участвуют никак). Анна вроде беременна была во второй части? Ничего объяснить не надо? То, что было в 1 и 2 Метро оставлено позади, то что происходит сейчас – недорассказано и брошено в дыму уходящего поезда. На логику и сюжет положен большой волосатый прибор. Мельник превращается в истеричную 12-летнюю девченку и не обращает внимание, что радист из Ковчега с ним общается как какой-то ударенный пыльным мешком гражданский... Ай, если обращать внимание на всю ту хератень, что не вяжется ни с логикой, ни со здравым смыслом уйдет куда больше 5000 знаков. Так эпично просрать все полимеры...
    Отдельный привет за Эпик Стор. И особенно за того товарища из разработчиков, который потом в Интернетах говнился на эту тему.

    Exodus appears to have significant technical issues even in 2020. Audio has significant problems with relative dialogue/volume and the spatial simulation of sound.

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.
    Grab it on sale, and make sure you play it after the first two Metro games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Графика и оптимизация на высоте. Даже на моем стареньком компьютере игра вполне сносно работала на средних настройках. Но вот все остальное удручает.

    Я уже говорил тебе, что такое безумие? Все персонажи в игре сумасшедшие. Командиры в московском метро. На Волге сумасшедший культ. Обезумевший Мельник, который постоянно рассказывает об оккупантах. Бункер Ямантау, это вообще лютейший фейспалм. Каспий – очередные рабовладельцы. В Тайге опять безумные лесные братья, которые следуют какому-то кодексу неведомого Учителя. Сумасшедший капитан, который живет с трупами. Что это, почему в игре столько душевнобольных?

    Выбор – совершить плохой или добрый поступок всегда настолько очевидно, что становится скучно.

    Стелс – его практически нет. Ждешь ночи и практически на марше проходишь мимо всей охраны.

    Бой – также все грустно. Из-за дефицита боеприпасов всегда приходится экономить и стараться из кустов ваншотить противника. А поскольку в этом мире тупые все, то просто ждешь момента, когда супостат высунется из-за угла и с криком «Я тебя сейчас порешу», подставит под маслину свой деревянный лоб.

    Крафт – сбор всякого хлама немного мотивирует на исследование локаций, но в целом бесполезен.

    Диалоги – откровенная нудятина. Раскрытие персонажей через диалоги, это чудесно, но не так же топорно. Я честно выслушал большенство рассказов. Да, иногда они были забавными, но это не спасает ситуацию в целом. Если не хотели разбавлять геймплей системой диалогов, можно было бы сделать переговоры по рации, где персонажи общались бы между собой, пока ГГ находится на вылазке. Хочешь слушать – включаешь рацию, хочешь насладиться одиночеством – выключаешь. Очень трудно сопереживать своим напарникам, так как нет никакого взаимодействия с ними. Кое как налажен контакт только с Анной, которую можно немного пожамкать в купе, выслушивая ее душевные излияния.

    Радиация – я понимаю, что это игровая условность, но создается впечатление, что она вообще не несет никакой опасности. Делаешь себе инъекцию витаминок и ты снова здоров как бык. Ржал в голос, когда Мельник получив запредельную дозу радиации и приснившись Артему, просил похоронить его под деревом в их новом доме. Да, Батя, у тебя фон как после взрыва ядерной бомбы, а ты хочешь, чтобы тебя похоронили рядом с людьми.

    Баги – они везде, они повсюду. Летающие предметы и НПС, бессметные враги, зависающие скрипты и вылеты самой игры.

    Как итог, игра – твердый середнячок на одно прохождение. Последняя локация проходилась вообще наскоком, все это уже было – монстры, горы трупов и снег. Было очевидно, что это финал и никакого афтерплей не будет. Также ничего не указывало на какую-то эпичную развязку, так что хотелось просто поскорее закончить.

    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. When these issues get patched then this will be a solid 7, but currently it is only a 5.

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.

    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.

Tambien en las cinematicas algunos personajes desaparecen y vuelven repentinamente algo que me parece vergonzoso e injustificable ya que tambien Metro Exodus esta en Xbox One y Ps4 que en teoria son inferiores a un PC, ademas graficamente hay poca diferencia entre Metro Redux. Ojala 4Agames arregle todos estos problemas en nada.

    Antes de acabar muchas gracias 4Agames por hacer este juego tan maravilloso.

    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.
    Да и странно как то , было бы что то революционное в плане графики тогда можно было бы понять такие требования к системе, но при такой картинке...

    For example - running around the landscape or backing off from enemies - don't worry here is a chair or plant you can get stuck on and die, Killed a hard enemy and pickedup their heavy weapon which worked perfectly for them - no worries now you have it, it jams after 3 shots. Found the enemy zombies that claw you do death with one swipe - no problem after 15 melee hits against them they are uninjured (despite you having a knife in various cut scenes the only melee is to use the extremely ineffective butt of you gun?.
    The dialogue is way, way, way too long and there is no way to skip through it. This is insanely annoying after you have been through it and the game crashes and then you have to go through it again...

This is a tedious mess that plays like a game from 2009. Your character feels drunk, and there are a myriad of elements in the environment to hinder your movement, adding to the pain. Simply traversing point A to point B is a chore. Your guns feel as though they fire rubber pellets, not bullets, and I find myself going through extreme amounts of ammo with the most basic of enemies. Oh yah, it's a "survival" game so all the resources, ammo, and health are scarce as f*** now, too. Environments are cramped and claustrophobic, offering little opportunity to make use of your weapons. Considering the amount of fighting taking place within 10 feet of your character, it is infuriating your only close attack is a weak sauce melee. Your health doesn't regenerate, and your character is made of paper, so you run through med kits with ease. You have to craft these, too.

    I can tell the developers wanted to make something "challenging", and "gritty", but instead the game is simply tedious, offering little compensation for your struggle. Not on Steam? The publisher knew they had a game that would never be profitable on its own, so the only way to break even was take Epic's money and cash in on whatever hype they had before anyone had a chance to play the game.

    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.

    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.

    The Bad
    - Bugs, graphical inconsistencies, and crashes
    - The sandbox world is unintuitive and destroys what defined the franchise; a good, story driven, well-thought-out levels
    - The game is unnecessarily prolonged by the need to constantly travel between objectives
    - Weak storyline
    - No true isolation and horror theme
    - Weak level design

    "More of the same" describes Exodus rather accurately. Weapons and gameplay are not anything you haven't seen before with the Redux titles and graphically Exodus does not really evolve from the Redux titles either - you'll be hard pressed to see a significant visual upgrade.

The game itself is merely "fine", following Artyom on yet another slog facing mostly the same thing you have done before only this time you get to ride a train and go above ground a lot more.

    In terms of performance Exodus is very poorly optimised, or at the very least you can criticise the developers for taking away the swath of advanced graphical options the Redux titles offer and essentially leave you with dreadful "profile" type options, there is far too much baked in to these "profiles" to allow any sort of flexibility you would expect from a PC title. This game is one almost everybody should be able to play on at least "High" settings, but once again, the lack of graphical options you would expect from a PC title cripple performance forcing far more people than needed to drop to "Medium" which is just a slap in the face as this setting removes far too many graphical aspects and almost ends up looking worse than the Redux titles (which I can happily run on max settings at about 100FPS average). What posessed 4A to remove the flexibility of the graphical options I don't know but I hope the reprocussions of their actions have reverberated loudly with them. I'd like to say the game at least has a stable frame rate, but it really doesn't. I can look into the far distance with the engine fully rendering the terrain, trees, buildings, etc and get triple digit FPS even on ultra settings, but if I dare turn around and look inside the train that FPS plumments to about 40. Editing the config file for this game is a waste of time almost everything is hard coded, you can get a rather large framerate improvement by disabling TAA, but this then also severely messes up lighting in the game, everything is just a damn mess technically speaking.

    Exodus isn't a terrible game it has its moments and if you liked the Redux titles there might be something for you here but the technical issues is what earns this game a low score from me.

    The game feels like a downgrade in fun for an upgrade in graphics.

    It's slow and clunky, extremely so, where the character moves like its waddling through jelly. The fact that so many actions are "press [E] to" just makes it a lot more boring.

Quite often i see an area i wanna go into and gotta slow down for the prompt, press the key, slowly crawl to the other side just to pick two components and have to repeat the same. But it gets worse when it comes to more cinematic-y stuff.

    Walking by the coast? sudden mutant jumps out and we are now in cinematic quick time event spam [E]. Im on a boat and suddenly notice my input does nothing? here comes the monster smash. There are so many instances of the game playing itself and at times if you are "lucky" you get to repeatedly push a key.

    On the other hand, where it'd be nice to have your character locked is in dialogues but nope, they decided to let you free so you have the option to walk away but basically cant (if you want to learn anything that is) but the trick? that often other people also talk to you or on the side so you cannot get what they are saying (and if you wanted to play it in russian with subtitles, say goodbye to subtitles working in any way, at times they even break when there's only one person talking...).

    The parts when you finally get to play in between small quick time events or large first person (at times slow and clunky) cinematics, dont feel too compelling either. If you want stealth there are way better options including the previous two games (even if they had their issues, still better) because here there is SO much light and cover means **** so even if you only peek a little, an enemy multiple meters away will be alerted in an instant.

    If you like action on the other hand, i've ran into a couple invisible walls where the enemy wouldnt flinch but he could shoot back, tho they seem to be able to shrug off shots from a rifle somewhat easily, and of course they can shoot for hours but once you kill them and loot them, they'll have like 6 or 7 bullets. I've found myself leaving an encounter with less bullets and medkits than i started it with.

    Story wise? so far it's rather meh and i am struggling to feel compelled to continue. Anna's entire character is being overly attached and constantly being "oh my love!!!". Her dad is just grumpy for the sake of grumpy and the rest of the initial cast is generic bravado goofball soldier going "har har boobs".

    The atmosphere as far as i've seen is not that great either, i wonder why keep calling it Metro. This feels more like a less compelling version of Stalker.

    Seems like they wanted to add random elements from the Ubisoft sandbox formula, poorly, while keeping some of the crappiest parts of the Metro system (inventory and UI, and seriously don't start with the "muh realism" because then we have truckloads of prompts with floating [E] icons and other **** and lets not talk about the 'oh, your dogtag stopped the bullet!' cringy as hell moment).

    Game is not bad but it's not good either it's somewhat generic and has to many annoying things that give it 4/10 score from me.
    It's a Metro game that is rushed, non optimized has way to many small bugs, frame drops, no real PC settings or controls graphics are average at extreme settings, monster design is blank in both their visuals animation and move sets. IA is generally bad and random, open world looks interesting but is dull and not really open, NPCs talk for ages but the guy who should talk is mute even in conversations, UI is garbage, faces and NPC and general animations are 2012. You are just running around without any good reason story is blank and it lacks everything that made METRO games good. Opening seams to be made to look good and story driven but it was just making me and most of other people i know play it quit the game on the start. No it does not run well on 1060 1070 1080 2060 2080 it has some frame stutters even on RTX Quadro 8000 i use for work. System specs do not mater for this game all you need is 8-16 GB ram 1050 ti+ and any quad core and put it on ultra/extreme you will the same experience. As for ray tracing welp none cares about that. Maybe patches will fix some of the issues and even then it could maybe get 5/10 i don't think they can fix animations graphics on faces and monsters and so many bugs and UI/PCc controls c-rap in time to make it to 6/10 which is where it would max out with everything that is fixable fixed. maybe 6/10 just maybe then for now 4/10 finish uninstall and make sure that next time I get hyped about anything i think twice or wait for crack to test as reviews are welp people who don't even seam to play the games or are sponsored etc.

    positives:

    it came out and i finished it and uninstalled it

    Negatives:
    IA
    Animations
    UI
    Bugs
    Optimization
    Faces
    NPCs

    Great graphics, great gunplay and controls. Nice interface without any clutter, and very immersive.
    However, I aborted after a few hours for the following reasons:
    - Story not interesting enough to me.
    - Bad character models, bad voice acting, poor dialog

    I remember the days when I played the first edition of Metro 2033. What a terrible (in positive sense!) PC gaming experience it was, with fully rebindable keys, marred only by the stupidest of the stupid atrocious console vomit save system, the checkpoint.
    You cured somewhat this plague, by implementing a half-baked saving system with F5/F9 which function only OUTSIDE OF COMBAT.

    You cured somewhat this plague, by implementing a half-baked saving system with F5/F9 which function only OUTSIDE OF COMBAT.
    Why on Earth I cannot save *my game*, whenever and wherever I want?
    Why on Earth I cannot leave the goddamned stupid radio/map when holding A (and have to tap E, in the same time, a mysterious combination found on the internet, which doesn't work all the time, only 1 in 4 tries), IF I rebinded my keys to a way better scheme TFGH than the outdated WASD?
    You press T to run you idiots, then tap X to sprint, then with your thumb you press Space if you want to jump or AltGr to slide, waaaayyyyy easier than using your pinky on Shift then CTRL or worse, pinky on Shift, left index on C and middle finger on W... R reload, Y use, U trowables, J melee, 4, 5, 6 weapons, 7 lighter, D gas mask, S filters, etc. how simple and fancy that is...
    You implemented 6(!) keys for run/walk/sprint (ing) toggle and hold despite the fact that nowadays we need only to tap it NOT hold it like it was during my grandmother gaming times and YET when I have to change the throwables, I have to also support the vomit inducing antiquated piece of trashware stinking scent, by pressing U (rebinded scheme) then to move the mouse up/down/left/right (!!!) like I am scratching the left ear with the right toe like a baboon.
    Why on Earth I cannot set the weapons in the platinum iridium ruthenium rhodium osmium way, THE PC WAY, 1 knife, 2 pistol, 3 assault rifle, 4 shotgun, 5 throwables, 6 heavy weapons and so forth (up to = !) as it used to be (as far as I remember) in you first Metro game?
    You use to be PC gamers guy, what a terrible machine the PC is and you are switching your settings to the bronze-age dumpster boxes which are only good for growing mushrooms on a bed of enriched soil with dessicated cow dung.
    4 thumbs downs for this despicable console port scheme, for not being able to FULLY rebind the keys.
    1 thumb down for the idiotic screen tearing, even if I set the VSync to fast and Triple-Buffering on in NVidia panel. "Switch VSync on, duh", yeah, no kidding.
    Another thumb down for the jerky demanding game resources. I wouldn't say "this game looks bad", quite the contrary, but guys, cmon, I wonder what RTX and Ray Tracing you implement on Ancient Egyptian slaves wooden coffins.
    I would have rated this game a solid 9 if you hadn't implemented the sickness-inducing console scheme and you had solved the awful screen tearing even on Ultra settings.
    Get back to your senses guys and don't f. up something that is working. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    The graphics are just okay, some images are very blurry. DLSS is completely broken with this game. Turning it off doesn't help the optimization though. The story isn't the most captivating. However being on a train together creates a sensation of always moving forward, and there are some bright moments to be found within the frozen tundras. Can't recommend on the account of how many times the game has hard crashed my PC. .

    Some where between meh and ffs really. Going in to the game I really wanted it to be better then what I got. The major problem is Pacing the game tends to bore the living **** out of a player forcing you to sit through overly long dialog scenes and unskippable cut scenes in the first 20minutes of the game alone you'll play for only one or two minutes before being forced to sit through an extremely lengthy conversation that is not skippable. Again this goes right back to Pacing which occurs throughout the entirety of the game. Though there are occasions such as the Admiral where a google search was required to find how to progress and it was not sit down and listen to this **** spouting madman to get a door to open but rather ignore him and cut the line to drop the ladder hidden behind him which No Indicator is provided your just supposed to know its there! This happens throughout the entirety of the game again not providing a visual indication of direction aside from the very last mission that gives atleast a sense of intended direction using a simple visual queue of power lines or ropes tide from one point to another.
    My next point is the amount of cliches in this game is just comedic as much as it is annoying and frustrating. The primary of which is upon entering Taiga where all of your gear that you spent hours collecting is stripped away from you leaving you feeling like you just got slapped in the face by devs.
    Speaking of collecting upgrades while it can feel rewarding for the most part others felt useless well most felt useless and others made you wander when do you use it without any kind of mission briefing that would indicate which upgrades would be preferred over others means your always going to take the same two extended filters and ammo harness. While the rest never got used at all. Instead of having these be upgrades that may all be equipped further extending all of your abilities holding more ammo, more throwables and more filters/health they are all separate and individual upgrades!
    Next the whole flash light and nightvision thing is well over done and not fine tuned enough. The night vision has the gamma and contrast of a world war 2 Gen1/Gen2 NOD and not something that would be found post 1998-2004 Again this suffers the most from the inability to use multiple upgrades simultaneously meaning that Night Vision usage drains the battery alot faster requiring frequent re-charging. All the while using NV in any out side area means a blinding light coming from the skybox this might have been so bad if the Moon light source was not so close to the world space even having the NV-Amplifier upgrade shows little improvement resulting in a simple bypass at the cost of immersion by just cranking up the ingame brightness to full during the night time or any interior cell.
    This leads me to the next issue, In game settings or should I say the Lack Of In Game Settings such simple things light Contrast and Gamma but the worst culprit is the inability to turn on Windowed Mode A Long Standing Issue that has been in Every Single Metro Game! Least but surly not the last is save points where being limited to a single save condition is well I lack a better word the appalling. A General sentiment that can be used multiple times through the entire game especially when you see unkillable npc's or droves of them that just keep spawning and/or respawning so quick that the feeling of simply turning around to try and run, open a door, cut a rope or any other means of escape brings feelings of certain death only to have that adrenaline high abruptly ended by 10-20 minutes of ****tery in the form of long drawn out boring ass conversations where the Protagonist never speaks and then forced to sit there or as I did got up and went to sleep, took a nap, did dishes, feed the dog, put the dishes away, painted a room, watched paint dry in said room or took a **** instead of listening to! AGAIN PACING In this game is horrible at best and nonexistent at worst. All the while working up to a bad ending im sure like so many others felt the conditions of which are also just pathetic and in order to achieve a good ending you basically Cant Kill Anyone is like saying why bother playing the ****ing game then!? The emotional pay off for playing the game is you died she lived but she hates you ohh well you dont care cause Your Dead! Is by far the worst possible conclusion to an otherwise tedious endeavor into the Metro Series which doesn't even make sense in the first place as an Idea since the Half Life of Plutonium 239 THE MAIN INGREDIENT in Nuclear weapons the world over since the 1920s is over 20,000Years not 20-30years as the game would lead us to believe unlike a certain Nuclear Power Plant which should be using a much different Isotope with a massively shorter half life. The ONE Saving Grace is you can change attachments on the fly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL/DR first : This game is awful, I couldn't force myself to "play" it more than a few hours.

    I have good memories of the first Metro games. I remember they were dark and interesting.
    I also remember I didn't want to punch friendlies in the face while screaming "shut up" again and again. It's the little things like that that makes a game bearable.

    Exodus is different in that regard.

    I've spent the first two hours of the game listening to people talking pointlessly, mostly doing exposition and telling the obvious. Contrary to the previous game, the writing feels superficial and lazy.

    While enduring these awful listening moment, I felt it was written for a very young audience. Of course you cannot move during these so you have to wait the end of some inane drivel that goes on an on.
    The way the game held my hand, sometimes literally, tends to confirm that impression. Hand-holding is something I despise so this didn't improve my impression one bit.

    In an nutshell : I've hated it. It got better after the first two hours when I was able to finally a bit alone exploring or hearing normal people speaking. At least now I understand why our character prefer to spend most of his time alone in deadly toxic areas filled with monsters. He can have peace away from the wife. (I've actually said "Thank you" to an enemy who silenced her with a punch.)

    When you can actually play, the game is pretty but I don't feel the RTX is very important here. I had to play with headphones though : the fans of my RTX2080 are kind of noisy. About performance I was mostly around 90fps during my play time. (TR 2950x, 64GB RAM)

    I was hoping that with any luck I my group would get killed. But four hours of that regime is all I could abide.

    I've installed that unpleasant piece of trash along with all the DLCs I own. I regret having wasted money, bandwidth an electricity for that.

    Теперь вот, что я хотел бы сказать сказать:
    1) Графика и проработка мира в игре отличная - тут просто без комментариев. художники постарались на славу.
    2) Обширные локации с интересным наполнением (постройки, ландшафт).
    3) Переносной чемоданчик для крафта и сборки оружия для любой ситуаций - очень классное решение!

    Минусы:
    1) Артем снова молчит, а ведь к нему не раз обращаются с серьезным разговором. И на фоне всех этих обращений - молчание протагониста выглядит совсем тупо.
    2) Хоть в игре есть условно "открытый мир", но все действия в этих локациях связанны с сюжетом настолько же прямые, как и рельсы по которым едет Аврора. Так же невозможность выбора действия, я считаю идиотским решением - как пример: убедить Мельника взять мать и дочку с собой на уровне Волга.
    3) Изменение внешности и голоса Артема,Анны и Мельника. Лучше бы оставили как в Last Light - там и голоса приятные и внешность знакомая. Нового Мельника я вообще бы не узнал пока прямо в лоб не сказали - совершенно не похож на себя.
    Добавьте к этому финальный ролик в плохой концовке в которой есть и Бурбон (которого упоминали в Last Light на уровне "Павел", что он выжил) и Хан. Их голоса, ну просто ужасны...
    4) Некоторые враги при атаке могут пройти/ударить через текстуру. К примеру: демон при налете на меня просто проигнорировал столб контактной сети. Присутствует летающая в воздухе трава и т.п. - одним словом: игре нужны патчи!
    5) Нелепость сюжета с Ямантау и наивность Мельника - поверить словам министра - хороший полковник. Тут я ловил один фейспалм за другим.
    6) Локация "Мертвый город" - стал для меня отдушиной - ибо в игре под названием Метро, не хватало, как раз таки, метро. Ко всему еще, именно этот уровень я считаю самым лучшим как по атмосферности ужаса, тотальной пустоты в замерзшем городе. Именно этой атмосферы и не хватало всей игре.
    7) Исследовать уровни надо лишь ради расходников, ибо торговцев с пульками в игре нету. Нет никаких поощрений за исследование - разве что апгрейды для брони. И то - большая часть апгрейдов находится на Волге.

    В итоге мы имеем игру, которая отстает от Last Light на два шага. Озвучка в игре - ужасна. Игра делалась с закосом на западного игрока. Из всех уровней - зацепил только мертвый город. ИИ у противников туповат. Сюжет - так себе, начало и вовсе тупое. Присутствуют баги и плохая оптимизация. Одним словом - разочарование. Я ожидал от этой игры большего, ибо 20 часов геймплея за 2000 со всем тем, что я описал выше - как то не выкупает себя. Увы, но это однозначно не игра года.

    The last 2 metro releases were pretty much great to play, I played both & Loved them & sadly though I got this next game in the series. I think it's safe to say that they have lost their way in how they developed this game. here are my 'OWN' mainly Bad but a couple Good thoughts on the game :

    Graphics : they're ok but underwelming and at the same time great but everything is hard to see within the world, everything blends in with other things it's just weird and dull. Underground or in tunnels is very good though !!

    Sound: Awful NPC voices at times and the music is pretty much Meh... em and well Meh...

    Performance: Never had any issues, no crashes, bugs that I can see.

    Storyline: jeez I've never ever been so bored (apart from fallout 76) with a story. It's just sooooooooo Utterly boring to wait and listen to the Npc's talking utter crap at times.. oh and I found my first cassette tape to play and I immediately sat back and thought OMFG this is fallout 76 holotapes. JEEEEZ. So awful, just awful storyline.

    Fighting: I enjoy the fps side of the game although those pack animals that roam around in the evening in 3-7 packs are a pain.

    Crafting: It's basic but ok, nothing special

    Open world: Well it's not really an open world it can get quite linear which actually leads to (Again) boredom.

    I'm just lost for words and While I want to say it's great, It's NOT. At best this is a maybe 4/10 regarding fps side but as for the rest it's just an utterly Boring and Painfully attempt at changing what the 'Metro Series'is about and has FAILED.

    £10-15 Game at best Imho, Hope this helps anyone considering in paying for this.

    Do not look at 10/10 reviews they in my opinion are utter utter nonsense & possibly paid reviews , some kids/fanboys etc.. this is not a 10/10 game.

    Also some users on here have said they've posted reviews and they have been deleted true/false I don't know but It is not uncommon for Companies to use this awful practice.

    anyway cheers guys/girls hope this review gave you a perspective. :D

    Cons:
    -Way too much dialog and inescapable cut-scenes, seriously about 50% of the game is actual game-play, the other 50 reading and listening to endless dialog, I got to the point where i would just get up and go do something else while the endless dialogs played out. Thats an epic fail imo
    -Game cant decide if its on rails or open world.
    -Seriously poorly conceived boss fights
    -The few big climactic scenes were lackluster, yawn.
    -Keybinding system is broken
    -Enemy difficulty determined exclusively by hit-points, no strategy or interesting AI components. Just bang away on it until its dead.
    -row boats were a nightmare (so I guess some realism there even if unintended)
    -buggy, crashed about 5-6 times during play with no particular reason why, just dumps to the desktop occasionally, my body vanished about half way through game, so played the last half without being able to see my characters hands.
    -melee combat was so poorly designed I dont have words to describe it. Melee felt like a game from 20 years ago.
    -save system is a bit douche baggy

    I did not have any expectations from this game as I have not played previous iterations. I have however played every other post-apocalyptic game out there and this falls far short of even old games like Fallout 3 or Stalker . Overall for the money this is a pass. For $10-15 and 20 hours to kill, go for it. $80 is a rip off imo. plus another $30 for DLC, maybe its worth $30 total with updates and DLC. Overall I felt frustrated playing this game, it constantly wrestled you out of game-play breaking immersion which is a cardinal sin. Worse many of these unavoidable cut-scenes and story elements were action based and there is no reason why the player should have to put down the controls and watch the game do things for you.

    Now I have to go replay the stalker series just to get the bad taste of this game out of my mouth. I may need to play the original Metro just for comparison, but all in I all thought this game sucked. Kinda like a high-school mean-girl, she aint pretty, she just looks that way,

Sure, the previous Metro games were linear shooters, but they put you in tight, claustrophobic quarters that had a certain atmosphere to them that Exodus can't seem to match in it's more expansive settings. The story is OK, but generally doesn't feel up to par with other metro games; as noted above, the atmosphere that made previous entrants feel special is missing. Exodus feels poorly optimized for PC but generally runs well on my admittedly beefy gaming PC, however, I've already encountered a game breaking save file bug that's forced me to restart from square one. I also feel like it's worth noting the only reason I have the game is because I pre-ordered it on Steam before it was pulled, If I hadn't already payed for the game I wouldn't be playing it because I don't want to support the fragmentation of the PC market with timed exclusives and I simply can't support the way Deep Silver is doing business with Epic Games.

    tl;dr: Overall, while not a bad game, it's not worth the current $50/$60 price tag. You would be far better served waiting for it to come back to steam and pick it up with it's DLC on a steep discount if you're a PC gamer. I would also suggest waiting or abstaining if you can to send a message to Deep Silver that the PC market won't stand for the sort of behavior that gets a pass in the console gaming world, there are plenty of games out from other publishers that respect their customers.

Enemies, thank the lord, have become irreversibly stupid: all the time they are constantly missing their shots, readily give themselves up to be captured and, the most enjoyable, wait patiently to be murdered, which is kinda interesting. The game has become very easy, in fact so easy that my three yo son who hasn't finished his potty training yet, can beat it on hardcore, no sweat, which made me very happy by that and him too. Stealth became even retardier than LL: enemies in full light can't see Artyon even within 5 feet, for example. Now you can dance behind enemies' backs the most outrageous brakedances and they won't hear - every Metro fan has long dreamt about doin' that. Big beautiful locations with same sheds here and there, outside toilets - you can admire their beauty forever. Shame you can't enter any toilet - poor Artyom only looks at them with longing, cow mooish sight but can't do any poop, which is not good for his health and intestines. Now, in the game there are many ammo and health packs laying around as well as gasmask filters. Forget about lack of resources from first game, nah! Devs got rid of those relics of the past because nothing may disrupt sheer admiration a player will experience upon looking at those nice swamps game spawns here and there; lame and empty desert with three and a half buildings; woods filled to the brim with one, even two bandit outposts. There, you can even enjoy the mushrooms grow - I spent half an hour watching them grow while enemies patiently waited for me to finish my otherworldly admirations, so I could just walk past by them without shooting anything which is obviously nice. Also you can engage in my favourite bland go-fetch quests - they are ABSOLUTELY fascinating with their empty refined shallowness - and you won't be even getting any reward whatsoever upon completing those! How realistic! Simply amazing! How nicely the devs cared about players' sense of pride and accomplishment! Also, it is worth mentioning that the game is filled with game crashing bugs, and bugs a bit smaller than that in such a pleasant way any Stalker fan would feel at home IMMEDIATELY here, warm and welcome. So here I am, filled with joy, getting good ending almost without any kills. But why even kill somebody? Dis is not a game about killings, dis is the game made for you to enjoy its buggy scenerey, grumpy lightnings, empty buldings in complete darkness, running hares, flying corpse-eating crows and dusty sandstorms, while listening to endless and stupid dialogues, undoubtly written by some 12 year old son of one of devs while riding Aurora in circles - but, hold on! - that can be spotted by only the most experienced of gamers out there. And the fact that game end brings you back to your roots, towards bowels of the dark stinky Metro makes this a fitting finale, best and most memorable episode of the whole game. Brav-o-o-o! Expand

    In order to forgive such a crooked animation and retarded dialogues, the game must be at least Skyrim level, seriously, the dialogs in the late "metro" fanfiction are better!
    The plot level - Russian TV series in a bad sense of the word. And how was it possible to voice the game so badly? is it the mod for the half-life ? Standard slaps were used for the sound of the steps. Let's now

Standard slaps were used for the sound of the steps. Let's now sound ALL monsters using "Wilhelm scream". AAA level game dubbed by punks in the basement. One actor voices all minor characters.
    Waited so long, It turned out a demo of beautiful locations on postcards (artists, textureartists - respect, for that 4 ).

    Для того чтобы простить настолько кривую анимацию и дегенеративные диалоги, игра должна быть как минимум уровня скайрим, серьезно, диалоги в поздних фанфиках по метро - лучше!
    Сюжет уровня русских сериалов в плохом смысле этого слова. И как можно было так озвучить игру? это что мод для халфлайфа чтоли, где для звука шагов использовались стандартные шлепки, нет ну вы бы уж тогда и на вопли всех монстров "крик Вильгельма" прицепили, да ппц продукт вроде AAA переозвученный фаргусом и одним актером на всю массовку.
    Ждали, ждали а на выходе демка красивых локаций на открытки(художникам, текстурщикам респект, за это 4 бала).

I really enjoyed Metro Last Light when I played it ages ago, which may be a factor as I have definitely been spoiled with some amazing games in the last 6 years. They definitely shouldn't have even done an English dubbed version as it is just terrible and completely takes you out of the game which may be why there are so many 0's. Expand

    Not as much fun as previous metro titles.
    No achievements because of Epic store, which removes a lot of the replayability for me as I always took multiple playthroughs to complete them.
    Found the movement and aiming a bit lacking - there is a delay when I sweep the mouse from side to side that almost feels like using a controller on a console. Don't remember this in previous metro

    Multiple instances of crouching perfectly still with the reticle directly on an enemies head and subsequently missing the headshot - fully clean weapon; another annoying mechanic.
    Not a lot to do in the "open world" except shoot up a camp of enemies and loot an item - most of the time nothing significant and a waste of time.
    Even with side quests and exploring all question marks on the maps plus some additional exploration the game felt incredibly short which would be fine if the game were cheaper.
    The transition into what I am assuming are cutscenes (fps drops to 31-33 during them) was very choppy, almost like the game froze for a second as they changed from in game to the pre-rendered video.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Из плюсов игры можно выделить отличную работу художников, а так же внимание к деталям. Так же музыку которая навевает ностальгию. Средняя возможность кастомизации предметов и слабый, но все таки крафт, но все равно хорошо когда такое есть, чем когда такого нет. Неплохая озвучка. А все остальное по игре один сплошной минус и халтура:
    1) Сюжет. Несмотря на то, что по сюжету вселенной прошло 20-ть лет после конца света, на лицо полная деградация и падение нравов, люди из образованных (хотя бы 9-ть классов) скатились в дремучую деревню это все равно, что те представители, которые сейчас сидят в сети, зная все и вся и разбираясь во всем, через двадцать лет начнут молиться сому и поехавшему человеку с именем Селантий это скорее претензия ко всей серии книг Глуховского, но исходя из этой парадигмы и идет развитие, оно все такое, атмосфера напоминает аркхем асилум, где все сошли с ума и деградировали. ГГ немой мальчик на побегушках, без права выбора, которым по сути пользуются все кому не лень, лицемерно изображая закадычных друзей, но оправляя решать самоубийственные задания в одиночку. Персонажи как и сюжет шаблонные и придуманы на коленке, хотя одержимая свои мужем жена ГГ еще более менее прикольная, хотя он крутой всех вокруг мочит в одиночку, да и вокруг грязные безумцы и вся жизнь в подземелье провела, наверное тоже тронулась.
    2) Мир. Мир на 95-99% состоит из врагов, аля безумный макс и бедных нестрашных инвалидов гулей. Кругом одни безумцы и все по уши в дерьме.
    3) ИИ. Самый тупой ИИ за последнее время мной виданный, хотя эти ребята свояли сталкер с интересными перестрелками, но тут же стелс - нафик ненужный, мир слишком безумен и врагов кругом слишком много чтобы вжиться в стелс. Большинство врагов тебя не видят в упор и начинают агриться когда стреляешь в них, не меняя позиции, граны и молотовы тоже не используют, даже на супер сложности.
    4) Геймплей. Слабый сюжет должен компенсироваться гейплеем, а вот нет, количество диалогов которые нельзя пропустить и вникай в это деньги уплочены, стань сомелье вторичности, может понравиться. Ходи по рельсам заданий, с отвратительно реализованной стрельбой в тупых болванчиков и любуйся работой художников.
    Можно еще под стелсом вырубать злодеев с кулака толпами, под звук удара из старых индийских фильмов - на суперсложности, не хватает только крика "Кия". С небольшими лирическим отступлениями, в виде покатушек на таблетке или отпугиванием тараканов фонариком.
    5) Графика. Обилие косметики в игре, но движок то старый с отвратительная анимацией. Нас не обманешь. Как будто старую бабку накачали гормонами и накрасили косметикой и заставили играть молодуху в молодежном сериале. От чего мой компьютер неплохо так нагрузился.
    6) Оптимизация. Сыровато, есть баги

    Good graphic. simple history. To short game. Poor optimization. Feel like a recycle one.

    I love the series, and this game was beautiful. However the AI was buggy as hell with some of them walking through the air where there is no ground also walking through roof tops, they can also spot you through cover some times when they shouldn't be able to.

    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]
