    Been a huge fan of the series, as well as the STALKER games in which it pays homeage to. I still have all those (and those bellow) installed in fact.

    That said, I am disappointed with this game. It could have been so much more - the chance to unleash the potential of the Metro universe, to surpass the STALKER series which was not been possible before given its constrained budget.    Been a huge fan of the series, as well as the STALKER games in which it pays homeage to. I still have all those (and those bellow) installed in fact.

    That said, I am disappointed with this game. It could have been so much more - the chance to unleash the potential of the Metro universe, to surpass the STALKER series which was not been possible before given its constrained budget. Unfortunately, it fails badly - too much focus on graphics and the push towards RTX that it misses the mark entirely. It became a 'very' average shooter in a bright gleaming package. Nothing more

    P.S. Im surprised that youtubers dont even talk about these, goes to show that they're merely reviewers, and not real players. And no, Anthem and such games do not make you an FPS fan. Lets look at these things objectively.

    I have been a gamer since, i know what the FPS renaissance looked like:

    -Far Cry 1, et al.
    -Crysis 1 and warhead (the rest are junk)
    -Doom 3, et al.
    -Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, et al.
    -Metro, et al.
    -Fear 1 (the others were garbage)
    -Fallout 3 and 4
    -Mass Effect 1,2,3 (andromeda is garbage)
    -Unreal Engine games
    -MUCH MORE

    I know what i'm talking about.

    Pros:
    -Immerserive atmosphere brought about by its graphics.
    -Graphics. Simply the best looking FPS to date. Better than a modded Cryengine 1 which you can push via the ini file.
    -A decent crafting system.
    -Dynamic weather which was adapted from Stalker games.
    -Good intent on storytelling and voice acting, though a bit exaggerated on the english version.

    Cons: READ CAREFULLY.
    -Its a surprisingly linear and 'empty' experience despite its huge world.
    -Forcefully sluggish narrative that feels more dragging than immersive.
    -It feels more of a glorified tech demo for the RTX line, rather than a polished game.
    -A very shallow narrative, that questions logic and character choices when trying to immerse yourself in the world. Eg. Mute protagonist, dialogue choices, character choices, circumstances given your actions.
    -Confusing/Questionable morality system that FORCES you not to use your guns to get the good ending. You kill too many enemies = your companion dies, because you failed to pull the trigger at the end? Ehh? Hence, making run-and-gun feeling punishable instead of rewarding.
    -AI is dead on arrival. I mean that quite literally. Its the worst i have ever seen in this series. Enemies lining up to get shot, stand not reacting to you, not reacting to light, etc. This is what separated STALKER (its predecessor and core influence) from the rest. It was a 'real' world via A-LIfe. This game isnt, and the more you play the more it slaps youi in the face with that fact.
    -Gunplay is broken. I have enemies sniping me with a burst pistol from 2km away, and you can see their bullets trails traveling in a straight line. Wtf. I have a sniper that either drops an enemy on the floor in 1 hit, or tosses him 20m from his current position.
    -Clipping issues and glitches.
    -Enemy hit response to projectiles feels noticeable odd. Assault rifles feel weak.
    -Very limiting save mechanics.

    Metro and STALKER are great games in their own respective ways, but Metro Exodus is not. Mechanics that work inside a tunnel - will not work in an open world. It has so many titles in which it was supposed to learn from - yet it blindly trudges along waiving its shiny new paintjob.    … Expand

    - The cutscenes last way too long. At some point i was feeling like watching a movie instead of playing a fps.
    - The medkit system is **** The game doesn't give you a station to work on/craft stuff for the first missions and i found myself in a situation where i had to finish the church mission with almost 0 health because i didn't had any medkits left and i had absolutely no way to craft them . For me this is a big NO NO. I can't understand how a team of developers didn't think about this while working on the first missions of the game..
    - The dialogue is way too much and there are a lot of situations where the characters talk at the same time and you can't quite understand what they are saying. If you give me a piece of dialogue make sure i can hear it clearly..
    - The game seems poorly optmised. Although the graphics aren't that high (compared to games like AC Oddysey, Doom etc ) and although i have a decent configuration (I5 6400,GTX 960 MSI 4G,12 G Ram) the game missions took a long time to load sometimes even crashing...

    And these issues where just for the first hour of gameplay.I don't even want to think what other issues would have existed if i continued playing the game to the full end.

    The only think that makes me feel good is the fact that i pirated the game because if i had spent 60 euros on this i would have killed myself.    … Expand

    The graphics are very good but the story line is just so boring. I've played for a hour and think I'm going to refund the game. It may get better, but at this stage I don't want to risk it for the money.

    - Good graphics and immersive world
    - Linear movement
    - A lot of cut scenes and dialogue I don't give a damn about. Characters seem boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review applies to the Russian version of the game, but anyway. I was a big fan of original books and first two games, but did hesitate to buy a new one till 08.2019. Although game was positioned as AAA and I personally didn't experience any technical issues, i was disappointed. Such a waste of money and time. Dead and dumb dialogs. interesting story turned into set of cliches. Graphics is good as an RTX demo, but it is absolutely useless in gameplay reanimation. Through all of the game I never lost a feeling that someone tried to save money on this title. Want to drive a car? Sure, but there will be only ONE! Radio station in the train with just one song on a loop, really?… Expand

    The absolutely stunning visuals & memorable vistas don't save this game from its terrible story, awful mechanics, and downright stupid design decisions. I'm a big fan of the first two games in the series, but this entry is simply subpar on all accounts besides graphics.

I'm a big fan of the first two games in the series, but this entry is simply subpar on all accounts besides graphics.

    By far, the most glaring flaw and dumb mistake was their decision to keep Artyom a silent protagonist, when he interacts and holds direct conversations with literally dozens of people throughout the campaign. This becomes a glaring problem when they say things that warrant a direct response from him, or when they explicitly ask him something and expect a response. And yet, Artyom already voices every chapter synopses. There is so much that goes on that would have benefited from having him speak in-game, it would have lent many events much more emotional heft and necessary plausibility.

    The graphics in this game are insane, I'll admit it, though it is just about the only great thing about the game. All the settings, locales, environments, and vistas look drop-dead gorgeous 90% of the time, and I couldn't help but take countless screenshots during my playthrough. The designers deserve some serious credit for creating a world with this much graphical fidelity.

    That being said, the environments are so completely devoid of interesting things or anything interactive for that matter, that it all comes across as barely worth exploring. That drive for exploration is further curtailed by the fact that there are next to no discoverables or hidden items spread throughout these maps. I've explored practically every nook and cranny, and have barely ever received any award for doing so, let alone an actual substantial reward. This game's map comes across as the most dead, empty, bland, and un-engaging map I've ever played in since the original Red Dead Redemption.

    The game is super buggy, in everything from its cut-off or off-cue audio elements (consecutive character dialogue often completely overlaps, for example), to the wonky, unnatural, & downright terrible mechanics of the sprint ability. Enemies don't spawn or move right, characters float, bullets don't register, the camera pops up & stays that way when opening the map while in the car, and so much more. Stealth is practically impossible to fully play in. The gunplay is ok, the menu system is neat enough, the crafting mechanics are solid, and the gun customization is just thorough enough to be satisfactory yet not overwhelming. Aiming with a controller thumbstick is atrocious, no matter the sensitivty preset you use. Whoever developed these controls and thought they were ok messed up big time. It handles terribly.

    There are some great jump scares, and some solid creepy or survival horror moments, with a particularly creepy level at the very end of the game. The last level of the game is its best and was actually pretty great (and has a beautiful ending track), and probably not coincidentally is the one that sticks closest to the gameplay style & setting of the games before it. The other levels all had very promising starting segments, where the possibilities open up in beautiful ways, but then end up totally squandered with some terrible mechanics and storytelling.

    The loading times in this game are atrocious, some of the worst I've ever witnessed in a game. To start with, there is an unskippable 3-minute intro sequence until you can even load into the game each time you start it up, which is unbearable enough. But then levels take minutes to load as well!

    The story is extremely flawed, with tons of plot holes, bad writing, weak plotting, and lack of emotional impact. Some of the post-apocalyptic scenarios and plot points were ripped straight from The Walking Dead, yet handled far less meaningfully, gracefully, impactfully, or interestingly than they were there. Many of the game's scenarios are taken straight from other existing sources, including the setup of all the present factions. The characters are all unique, yet somehow remain uninteresting and unengaging. Many conversations come across as straight-up awkward or unnatural, and all character faces remain relatively expressionless at all times. The voice acting is mostly atrocious, & at its best barely acceptable. There is so much blatant exposition and excessive dialogue. Worst of all, you have to sit through many crazy deliveries of boring & uninteresting exposition - sometimes 10 minutes long each, and sometimes consecutively! This is not how to tell a story. Furthermore, some of the story threads lead nowhere, don't get addressed or were for naught, and the morality system is badly implemented & utilized.

    In summary, this is an awful game but an incredible walking simulator. I suggest either just watching a cutscene compilation on YouTube, or playing through the game on easy without bothering with exploration or crafting. With some competent storywriters, scripting, and voice acting, it might have even been decent.    … Expand

    - Horrible sound/npc design. I was hoping that my companions would shoot themselves in the mouth so they could finally shut up talking. and in overall, the game sounds like a convuluted mess.

    - Irritating cutscenes, especially in the beginning of the game, completely put my mind out of the game because you're not in control for half of the time.

    - Wrong sense of helplessness, i had no idea what i should do, or where i should go to, especially early in the game, and had to reload a lot of times after getting shot to hell (and the ludicrous one-slot save system doesn't help)

    - After i melee-attacked a humanimal it went down and it got back up, i melee-attacked it again, and it got back up. repeated that FOR 80 TIMES until i gave up and i was killed by it. I just couldn't help myself from bursting out in laughter and disbelief and almost destroying my keyboard by smashing ALT+F4

    This game is VERY poorly optimized for PC as well. Low frame rates even with a GTX 1080 Ti a 8th gen i7 and 32 GB of ram. Many bugs seem to be in the game graphically as well.

    They took out what made the previous games interesting - the claustrophobic metro tunnels - and replaced them with a generic semi-open world (because even 4A needs to follow trends now, apparently).

The open-world elements serve no purpose, there's essentially nothing to do or explore...so why have a semi open-world in the first place? Also, the game is buggy as hell and very prone to crashing. I've lost count of how often I had to restart the game because it randomly froze or crashed to desktop.
    Plus, the story was weak, too. Predictable and unnecessarily contrived. Not on par with the previous games.

    The game is super pretty, though... but that can't save this mess of a game. A waste of time and money, unfortunately.

    4A needs to go back to the drawing board and should re-evaluate what made the first two Metro games so good. They made good games before and I'm sure that they can do it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ставлю 3 бала только за красиво плескающуюся воду в стакане (Шикарная физика жидкости внутри емкости.), и за саундтрек. Композитор единственный кто старался при работе над игрой. Так это убогий однообразный шутер (И ни разу не шедевр.), с никакущей стрельбой (Ощущение от оружия, и система отображения повреждений дно.). Кучей гринда на более менее крупных (Примерно как в первом Crysis-Far Cry, хотя местные зоны чуть меньше.), но довольно пустынных локациях, практически полностью лишенных интересных мест. Из игры убрали систему торговли, исчезло ощущения опасности которое было при вылазках на поверхность (Оно достигалось, постоянной нехваткой воздуха, кучей тварей и прочих опасностей, которые приходилось преодолевать игроку. Тут же, можно тупо почти от всего убежать.), атмосфера с которой и так было туго ещё в предыдущей части, практически сошла на нет. Сюжетные миссии не блещут проработкой и оригинальностью, уровни с заброшенной станцией, библиотекой, первой вылазкой на поверхность, и останкино, в разы лучше всех миссий Exodus. Сюжет к слову, представляет из себя набор шизофренического, и жутко нелогичного русофобного бреда (Увы из за ограниченного объема рецензии, я не могу его описать.), с посредственными диалогами и персонажами, хотя погибшего Мельника (Несмотря на то что он старый маразматик.), всё же жаль, больше чем того же главного героя. Который опять молчит в процессе миссий, но при этом вовсю болтает на экранах загрузки, "гениально"! Графика тоже не блещет, текстуры немногим лучше чем в предыдущей части, а детализация уровней оставляет желать лучшего. Ах да, обещанный Rtx глючное дерьмо, которое просто затемняет картинку. Однако малолетние, умственно отсталые русофобные фанатики Глуховского, всё равно будут доказывать что Metro Exodus это шедевр (Который они в силу "большого ума", уже ставят выше Stalker 2, который не представлен даже в виде скриншотов.), ни разу не русофобия, и вообще лучшая игра 2019 года. Здесь я привел лишь малую часть минусов Exodus, даже основные не влезут. До смешного, разработчики наивно полагают, что стражи сражающиеся с кикиморами, (Про Skyrim мир которого в 15 раз больше Exodus, где хищники охотились на травоядных, мы не слышали.), или лагеря бандитов с крафтом, действительно смогут кого то удивить. Ну ну. Лучше бы сюжет нормальный написали, да над миссиями поработали. P.s Те кто ставят 0 балов, только из за EpicStore, полные идиоты, торговая площадка никак не связана с реальными минусами игры, будь она хорошей, её можно было купить даже в Uplay. P.s.s Иронично что люди восторгающиеся такими проектами, возмущаются миссией в аэропорту из Mw 2, и сюжетной компанией Coh 2, данные игры хотя бы не создавались людьми из Снг, и в них не было такого градуса русофобии как здесь.

    The game crashed constantly on load up causing many restarts and a disappearing inoperable mouse.
    I use 2 screens and watch something in the background as MANY do but this game doesn't offer windowed mode or like to be alt tabbed (computer has a 1080, i7 8000 something along those line and 32gb ram INB4 a update your rig comment) and decides to crash completely upon doing so.

    the game runs like a dog but looks great when running, i deeply regret buying the game at launch as it's a mess, i really really love the series and look forward to playing it when it works if it ever does i'll change my review but the game itself for me is too buggy to buy into i hope you read this and make the decision for yourself!

    i don't like the epic games store but it has nothing to do with this "review" my score is low because the games not playable for me currently and i'm pissed because i bought it day one like a sucker and it crashes whenever i start and or play.... damn i want to play this all the way through, i guess resi 2 will have to tide me over.    … Expand

    Metro Exodus is not a lot of fun. I'm glad it was so cheap during the recent sale.

    It's one of those "hard" shooters where you die in a couple shots, which would be more fun if this didn't mean the correct choice was always remaining in stealth. Once an enemy camp is alerted of your presence, they instantly all immediately know exactly where you are, even in pitch blackness when you    Metro Exodus is not a lot of fun.

    It's one of those "hard" shooters where you die in a couple shots, which would be more fun if this didn't mean the correct choice was always remaining in stealth. Once an enemy camp is alerted of your presence, they instantly all immediately know exactly where you are, even in pitch blackness when you can't even see them in return. Enemies could be having a loud party and you make one tiny bunny hop outside behind a brick wall and WOOP WOOP the alarm bells start ringing and the entire world opens fire on your exact location. It's stupid. This is 2019, and I think we expect a bit better.

    It was tolerable in the other two because they had a great atmosphere, and a great story, and even if the combat was still just as asymmetrical and broken-stealth heavy, at least you being in a subway tunnel meant you had a general idea of which direction to return fire. I even completed them on ranger difficulty because I enjoyed the games so much. But this METRO is much more open world, with tall buildings and wreckage and multiple flanking positions and packs after packs of roaming monsters that are just there to eat up your ammo and make traversing to your next objective take longer.

    It wasn't fun in STALKER in 2007 and it still isn't fun today.

    The trope of the "silent protagonist" has always seemed questionable to me, yeah I get that Valve does that a lot, but you really need to have interesting supporting characters to pull that off. In a *dialog heavy* game where other boring characters are repeatedly brainstorming ideas and *looking for your input* by asking direct questions, it becomes totally ridiculous. "Atryom, go back to base and tell my dad..." "Artyom, what do you think our next move should be". Over and over and over and over. Dull dialog that goes on forever but never says anything much.

    A more patient person, or someone new to shooters might have fun if you turn the difficulty down to 0 and just play it as a run and gun and skip all the dull story. I have better things to do with my time.

    You know what? This game really is a huge disappointment. I am a big fan of the previous titles as well as the first book (the second one sucked as the cash cow it was).

I am a big fan of the previous titles as well as the first book (the second one sucked as the cash cow it was).

    I have not finished the thing yet, but I consider this as a heads up to everybody who was as hyped as I was.

    Let's start with the good:
    1. The story is sort of intriguing. It's not genius, but I suppose it is the only thing keeping me going at the moment, as I've have not played/read a good post-apocalyptic (let alone Russian) sci-fi in a while.

    2. I somewhat like the old-style quest tracking, where the game does not really hold your hand (for the most part) as what you are supposed to do and how. Although tracking side-quests in your diary would help.

    3. the weapon system is pretty neat. You can customise weapons however you like (and on the go) and need to keep them clean in order to work properly. Weapons, in general, are fun to shoot. Handling and sound look immersive and realistic.

    Then comes the rest.
    1. First off the optimisation is terrible with framerates fluctuating between 30-100 fps on a fairly beefed up PC.

    2. Main characters are so f/ing annoying! Dialogues are so poorly written and the (over-)acting is laughable at best. Moreover, all the NPCs are cheering for you or hugging you all the time - don't know what kind of fantasy is being fulfilled there.

    3. The atmosphere of Metro is mostly gone. The environment is empty and dull and looks like an offspring of Stalker but not in a good way. I have not felt any kind of suspense during my 6 hours of the playthrough.

    4. Movement is so goddamn clunky and never works properly (being stuck on the geometry all the time, falling from ledges, climbing animation looks like from the 90s etc)

    5. Fighting - apart from the weapon mechanics as described above- is just horrible. AI is plain stupid and cheats at the same time, which further contributes to the completely broken stealth system. On hardcore difficulty, the game is way too hard to be enjoyable (also thanks to the scarcity of ammo), while being too easy on normal.

    6. Graphics look like 7 years ago.

    My recommendation is to wait for a sale. Maybe they will polish this into something playable by then.    … Expand

    I really want to like this game. I loved Last Light, but I feel like this game is ultimately a step down for me. The game runs terribly, even on a decent rig, and in the amount of time i've played, i've encountered several game breaking bugs. I don't even care about the epic store, but the state this game launched in is terrible!

    3.спорное решение с псевдо-открытым миром. Спорное потому, что на мой взгляд, метро брало своей атмосферой темных и линейных туннелей. Понятное дело, что тут совсем другое место действия, но мне кажется что из этого можно было что-то сделать. Уровень с Болотом из 34 части как пример
    4. и вот мы добрались до, пожалуй, основного пункта - ценовой политики издателя )
    К разрабам претензий нет, игра выполнена довольно качественно, хотя и не стал бы кидаться броскими заявлениями о том, что она якобы Лучшая в серии. Все технические баги можно будет еще подтянуть патчами. Но жадность издателя не изменить. Габен хоть и жиреет с своих 30% - это факт. Но убирать игру из продажи за 2 недели - неуважение к фанатам. Я думаю, что в полной мере могу считать себя фанатом серии, тк прошел каждую часть по 5-6 раз и прочел всю трилогию от корки до корки. А в момент анонса - искренне радовался. Но ситуация, что обросла вокруг этой игры огорчает мою терпкую душу простого смертного игрока, который может повлиять на решение больших боссов лишь негативным обзором и кошелем звонких монет    … Expand

    Похоже разработчики вместо того чтобы работать над игрой считали деньги которые им занесли эпики та всякие твиты строчили какие он умные и классные, а игроки бараны и не хотят лаунчер ставить. Какого фига на gtx1080ti такие просадки ФПС? Вы там в своём уме вообще безрукие шаманы?

    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]
