    I was disappointed with this game. It is even worse than the previous parts.
    Disgusting animation.
    Bugs, bugs, bugs everywhere.
    Copy-paste levels.
    Stupid plot, idiot characters.
    But the magnificent work of three-dimensional artists.

    So now Metro Exodus has Future graphic with RTX and it's really great, but it's need better performance and so you can see low FPS on poor PC. This game has a good story and in the make you sad.

    In a lot of ways it's a fairly typical Metro game. If you already like the setting, general story, and can put up with some of the quirks. It's great.

    The previous importance on context is there, the HUD is very minimal because there's a tangible excuse for the way you interact with the world and see information. You want to know how long is left on your gas mask filter? Look at your wrist. On top of that, more so than other shooters, you have to think about what's going on. Keeping on top of how broken your gas mask is, how much filter you have left, whether you need to pump charge your flashlight. This adds extra challenges to both combat, and stealth sections.

    It's also more than a typical Metro game. The game takes a step towards open world RPG. The locales and atmosphere are far more expansive than previous games. There's some Breath of the Wild inspiration; rather than a bunch of questions marks just appearing on your map, you have to discover locations. You also have to consider whether you wish to tackle a mission during the day or at night, with pros and cons for either approach.

    There are some small negative things. A lot of dialogue clips over each other. And it's taken such a step towards an RPG, that at points it feels odd when you don't have agency to do something. For instance, there's one point where there's a very apparent trap, but you have no means to do anything about it until it is sprung. However, these are small problems that haven't stopped me enjoying a great game.

    I remember when Last Light came out, i was so disappointed, then i saw Exodus trailer, i thought man this is the next Witcher 3 like 10/10/10/10 game, but no.. no... this was the worst AAA title I've seen in last 3 years.
    More of an interactive movie than actual game.

    Here are the quick run-down of the good and the bad compared to its predecessors:

    - Faithful art, sound and theme to the original games
    - Improved art overall
    - Smart enemy AI

    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
    - Bad pacing

    Exodus takes about the same amount of time to playthrough as 2033 and LL, but most of that in Exodus is bloated content you're forced through of conversations and handholding, yet there is a tiny fraction of action and combat to be had in Exodus. A Exodus playthrough will take hours (about 4 hours just carving through it), and in that time the number of significant fights you had can be counted on two hands and most of them will be a 1-2 minutes of combat.
    Also Exodus is a terrible PC port with broken and unplayable aspects.
    As of writing this the game has been out for over a month and none of these game-breaking issues and console aspects from a bad port have been fixed.

    BROKEN FOV: There is no FOV option, and the default is very small and nauseating. In the previous games in the series this was okay as you could go into game files and edit them for a larger FOV. However in Exodus there are many screen effects that do not adjust with the new custom FOV. Everytime you are wounded in a fight you will have a red box in the middle, and also across the middle of the screen have a large ugly giant red blob line across the screen (which normally is supposed to be at the top of the screen).

    BROKEN CUSTOM CONTROLS: Firstly if you use custom controls, especially if you're a numpad user, then you're in big trouble as the controls for interacting with workbenches and radios and the like won't change to your custom keys. Instead the defaults will be written for controls; F, D, A etc, and pressing those defaults won't work.
    This means that everytime time you need to use a workbench of radio you need to go back into your key mappings, remap to the default, interact with the radio and workbench, and then go back into options and remap to your custom keys and carry on playing the game. With having to regularly use workbenches to clean your weapons this is not fun.
    INTERACTION CIRCLES: Firstly the game is plagued with ugly console interaction circles. But these are particularly bad in how they've been applied to looting bodies. In the Metro series you're constantly picking up ammo (or in Exodus parts to craft ammo) - as you progress through a firefight you'll quickly loot from the body of a killed opponnent. In the previous games in the sequel you tapped you use key twice to loot the body and their weapon.
    For some reason the devs decided that it would be a good idea to make it so that you must aim at the enemy weapon and hold reload to remove the ammo and modifications from the enemy weapon, and also use the interact key to loot the body and reload key to loot from the weapon. This now means that instead of sliding through a seamless firefight naturally looting bodies, instead you now must use the interact key to loot the body (careful not to accidentally look to the side at the weapon where you're then pressing the wrong key), stop in the middle of the fight, look at the weapon on the floor, hold reload and wait for an interaction circle to loot the ammo.
    Enjoy doing this thousands of times.

    Content:
    I've played Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light countless times. Around 100 times each. They are 'linear' games, but much of the gameplay in each level can be played many times over as the fights are always exciting and challenging.
    In Metro Exodus - the open world game (though most of the game isn't in open world environments) - the entirety of the game can be broken down to a handful of minor easy gunfights and battles with mutants.
    Firstly there are only 3 'open world' areas, and one of them is very incredibly linear where you're stripped of your equipment and forced down a boring path that isn't fun the first time, let alone replaying it. The other two open world areas are cool, but they're relatively small and can run across them in a few minutes, and I can count on one hand the number of areas of these maps where there are groups of a few enemies you wipe out in a matter of seconds.
    The rest of the game is linear levels which are frankly complete trash and unworthy of the series.
    Again, I have played 2033 and countless times and I love going through those levels again and again everytime... Meanwhile you couldn't pay me to replay the corridor sections that make up half of Exodus.
    The beginning chapter of the game is scripted and very linear and repetitive. It's just crap.
    Another one is a ridiculous level spamming gunfire at harmless mindless cannibal enemies I've run out of characters but bad content, bugs, bad port, terrible replayability, hollow, hardly any combat

    Адекватный человек этой игре поставить такую оценку просто не может, либо он просто не Человек.

    Предшествующие игре события с её размещением в том или ином магазине, некоим образом не должны
    отвлекать от сути содержания последней. Такие оценки мне однозначно не понятны.
    Да и какая разница, что перед релизом купить игру в Steam стало невозможно.
    Вообще, как можно оценивать игру исходя из продающей её платформы, причем стоимость в Steam (когда был предзаказ)
    и сейчас в Epic Store абсолютно одинакова!

    Теперь, хочу сказать об игре. Хочу отметить именно духовную составляющую данной игры.

    Эта игра - о человеческой неугомонности (стремлении к превосходству) и как итог - глупости.
    О любви. Об отцах и детях. О человечности и о способности принять решение, которое не принесет вреда тому, кто даже его заслуживает.
    О новой сложившейся религии и о природе, в её, почти первозданном виде.
    О Друзьях, которые бесконечно много готовы сделать для Родных людей.
    Да, именно слово "Родной" в этой игре, как никакое, может передать тонкое, любящее отношение к своим близким и дорогим людям.
    Да и сама собравшаяся интернациональная команда (Дамир, Сэм...), дает пищу для размышлений: "а зачем вообще некоторые люди, да что там - народы,
    порой испытывают такую неприязнь друг к другу?".

    Кто-то говорит, что игра "несколько контрастна" исходя из предыдущих частей "Metro 2033" и "Metro Last Light", я же не вижу ничего такого,
    что могло-бы нарушить линию, которая повествует о характере и стремлении Артема к лучшей жизни в нынешнем постапокалиптическом мире.
    Да, порой игрок ощущает себя попав в мир "Безумного Макса" или "Rage" или вернувшись в увлекательное путешествие по вселенной "Итана Картера".
    Но, если представить. Не таков ли будет мир на самом деле - вариативный и властный.
    Ведь бескрайние просторы России сложно полностью уничтожить, а значит, жизнь хоть где-то да будет теплиться, в том виде которая есть.

    Отдельной похвалы заслуживает музыка, а точнее её композитор.
    Эта музыка берет за душу в различных ее интерпретациях на протяжении всей игры: местами лейтмотив, мелодия в оркестровом исполнении или же
    это просто дуэт в исполнении Артема и Степана на гитаре, в выдавшиеся свободные минуты путешествия.

    Как итог, хочу сказать, что игра заслуживает самой высокой оценки, не смотря на некоторые недостатки в оптимизации.
    Я был погружен в чувственную атмосферу и увлекательную жизненную и неподдельную историю людей,
    которые ищут место для своего комфортного существования, любви и дальнейшего развития человеческого рода.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Графику не рассматриваю.
    Игра ожиданий не оправдала ( по роликам и "шуму" в интернете).

    Чисто мои негативные впечатления.
    - СКУЧНО ( Чем дольше ты играешь, тем это чувство становится больше)
    - Очень раздражают всякие мелочи ( столбик который не обойдешь, оградка которую не перепрыгнешь при убегании от кого либо)
    - ТУПОЙ СТЕЛС!!! это просто жесть как тупо...
    - Не понятно куда можно пройти, а куда нет. ( Что бы понять этот предмет статичен или юзабелен надо обязательно подойти и под разными углами его осмотреть, желательно еще и попрыгать).
    - Не знаю плюс это или минус, но самое интересное в этой игре, это просто ехать на поезде.

    Well, i've tried this game a couple of hours, and after absolutely falling in LOVE with Metro Last Light, i have to say that i'm deeply dissapointed.

    They stripped the game from what it made the series, dark, narrow spaces. Precisely what was boring in Last Light were the open spaces. Now is just another FPS with an semi-open world, with no sense of mission or direction. But hey!!!

    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,

    I absolutely do not understand why this is necessary, because the world is already bursting at the seams, why they incite more hatred.

    And everyone treats this indifferently, but if African Americans, or women, were insulted in this game, human rights activists would immediately sue the developers. But since insulted the Russian people, then no one will do anything.

    It's a shame, because because of all these political wars, ordinary people are forced to see all this nonsense.

    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]
