    For 4A Games: Сильные стороны Metro Exodus сюжет, атмосфера и несколько интересных персонажей. Но все портят bugs, lags, low fps, как будто бета

    Gameplay: Great shooter, solid crafting and poor climbing. Prepare to be disappointed in the number of available guns. There is even less of them than in Metro 2033. Shotguns are useless now, since you will fight non-human enemies like 3 times (it's not like there are none, it's just that you can avoid the pain of fighting them).

There is even less of them than in Metro 2033. Shotguns are useless now, since you will fight non-human enemies like 3 times (it's not like there are none, it's just that you can avoid the pain of fighting them). 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это не просто история, это проникновение в наши души! Игра Metro Exodus произвела на меня просто колоссальные впечатления, начнём с того что эта игра показала что СНГ гейм дев может в создание шедевров. Продолжим мы тем, что эта игра просто Магнум Опус серии Metro, то есть отполирована и дополнена во всех аспектах геймплея и сценария, чего только стоит хоть и не открытый мир но его подобие, который с невероятной работой гейм дизайнеров просто интересно рассматривать. Но в этом псевдо открытом мире есть и огромный минус и он заключается в полном так скажем неживом мире, на данных локациях почти нету отстранённых от основной сюжетной линии заданий, чего крайне не хватает для более активного погружения в мир. Но этот минус нивелируется просто прекрасными второстепенными персонажами, свадьба Степана и Кати, иностранец Сэм, Алеша который не может найти свою любовь, а когда находит теряет её! Но больше хочется отметить самого главного изумруда серии Мельникова, который просто опустошил меня в финале игры. Я сидел словно на грани жизни и смерти, невероятно трогательный и красивый endgame героя, который всю жизнь заботился о своем братстве. И помните Спарта поможет всем ведь все мы люди, да некоторые хорошие некоторые плохие но все имеют шанс на жизнь. 10/10 Абсолютный триумф 4A Games. Expand

    У меня не хватит слов, что бы описать насколько сильно я люблю метро исход, это поистине шедевр игровой индустрии.
    Разработчики поднимают планку, и делают апгрейд буквально во всем. Как только Артем узнает о заговоре, о том что всем людям в метро врали, и вместе со своей бандой крадет поезд дабы уехать куда-то далеко в поисках лучшей жизни, этот апгрейд моментально чувствуется, эти философские разговоры спартанцев под папиросу о бытие( которые длятся невероятно долго) уже пробирают тебя атмосферой, а ведь на фоне в кабинке еще и Цой играет... И так постоянно, между перемещениями по локациям происходит кучу атмосферных моментов. То поженится кто-то, и можно будет насладиться "поездом в огне" в исполнении жениха) то подслушаешь диалоги о предстоящих событиях, девушек по обсуждают, да и все это происходит в вагоне поезда, этот стук колес по рельсам словно бальзам на душу
    Локации красивейшие, начиная от болотной Волги, закачиваю абсолютно мертвым Новосибирском. Немало важную роль играет освещение на этих локах, тут конечно мое почтение, выглядит потрясающе. Персонажи живые, не то что за бойца ордена можно положить весь Ямантау, та даже за Кирилла из Новосиба не грех каждому библиотекарю по ушам проехать. Любовная линия гг с Аней прописана очень хорошо, чувствуется вот эта волшебная связь между ними, как Аня переживала за Артемку когда тот не выходил на связь длительное время, или как сам Артем ловил глюки от радиации в лечебке, и везде видел свою возлюбленную, и из последних сил бежал к ней что бы помочь, очень приятно смотреть за этим
    Ну и концовка, хорошая концовка просто выбила из меня тонну слез, финальная речь Мельника про то как он извиняется перед Артемом, говорит что был не прав, что забыл как то для чего орден создал, и сказал что всегда хотел сына как гг, просто заставила меня затопить соседей снизу. Ненавижу правда когда просят прощения перед умершими, или наоборот перед самой смертью, как раз из-за обилия вызванных слез.
    Достойно будет оценить этот шедевр на 20 херовых бля мест из 10

    Last Light was peak Metro game but Exodus is still 10/10. And they should really let protagonist talk, clearly their dialogue writing is good.

    Not as good as Metro Last light. The atmosphere is good but other are mid. Boring main story (Metro Last Light is way better but Sam's story and the two colonels DLCs are good tho) and Creatures design. But the great thing about Metro series (like Stalker series) is that you can hear the conversation between NPCs, they have many stories to tell.

Emotional and satisfying ending for sure. Metro already has been known as a franchise that offers solid storylines. Not just the lore and story but also the way it serves that to the player is fantastic. That is definitely still here with exodus. A fantastic voyage thru this universe that Dimitri Glukhovski created. Exodus is based on and starts with Metro 2035 and adds a lot of details to it afterwards.
    10/10

    2) COMBAT / MECHANICS: This is not your typical FPS game. Carachter movement is so slow and far from being nimble. Mobility is highly restricted. You have to watch not just your back but also everywhere because there is no escape if you do a mistake. Same story with the ammunition and resources. So in terms of mobility and resource management, Metro Exodus is stingy. I love that tho. But clearly its not refined. I don’t remember how many times i got stuck in the middle of something important because of some weird terrain and game control interaction. So its unique, fun and good enough but feels far from being perfect.
    8/10

    3) ATMOSPHERE / VISUAL DESIGN: Clearly the strongest part of the game with the story. Metro Exodus is kinda a 10-15 hour in-game engine playable cutscene. Illustrations are unbelievably good. Scenes and details are well made. Enviroment of the linear parts of the game are probably the best ones i have seen. At least one of the best in the gaming industry at the moment. Lightings, music and everything is nicely done. Every single part of the game pushes you to different emotions. Sometimes you feel the disgust. Sometimes you cry. 10/10!
    Unless you have arachnophobia or herpetophobia. Gonna say it from the start, if you have one of those you are definitely not gonna feel comfortable in this game in a bad way. There are so many disgusting creatures and enemies you will encounter. And some of them are really common. Game has 3 different small but highly detailed open worlds that have different bioms, side activities that will add more to the main story and different mechanics in it. You will spend around 2-3 hours in each. Also at the start, end of the game and between the open worlds there are unique linear sections that will take around 5 hours in total as well. In total this is around 10-15 hours a beast of an experience.
    10/10

    4) OPTIMIZATION / PERFORMANCE:
    I am not very positive here. It works fine in terms of frame rates years after its release except some specific areas. But the way it performs and the layering is kinda weird. First of all crashes are common enough to make you angry. Also freezes and program not answering problems are still going on. Rarely but still there sadly. And the problem i talked about in the mechanic section, terrain and 3D model interactions are weird for NPC’s too. I have seen someone teleported or stuck for 2-3 seconds a lot.
    6/10

    OVERALL: Probably one of the best and most unique FPS games we have seen lately. Not gonna say this is a must play for everyone or a classic but definitely deserves a shot if you are into something different than the other FPS game campaigns we did get last 5-6 years. A perfect storytelling sweet spot between a disgusting thriller piece that will make you uncomfortable in a good way, an emotional storyline that follows interesting areas and enviroments and a super heavy stealth based action. One of my favourites for sure!

    Amazing final chapter in Metro series. Honestly, there are couple things that aren't great (like the whole pioneer map), however everything else is so well done. Sometimes feels a bit old in term of game design and especially body/face animation, but overall it just gives a feeling of the last great game of that pre-mocap era.
    +1 for very souly Russian post-apoc atmosphere, touchy ending and DLC.

Some games are best played with headphones, and this is one such game because the audio design is so amazing. The slower movement speed and short time to kill for both you and enemies made the game feel very grounded in a way I'm not used to experiencing in modern shooters. The graphics are top notch, especially if you have a ray-tracing graphics card and play the enhanced edition (which I did.) It's one hell of an experience. Expand

    + Awesome graphics
    + Weapons feel nice
    + Story is decent

    - Open world is on rails (its barley open world)
    - No RPG elements
    - Decisions are limited, rare and feel non consequential
    - Fairly short campaign, slightly abrupt ending

    This game with steam mods will be a much better experience but $2 on WIndows Game Pass was a great deal.

    Kitapları okumuş ve önceki iki oyunu oynamış biri olarak keşke yarı-openworld gibi bir olaya girmeselerdi diyorum. Linear olması bu oyuna daha çok yakışıyordu. Her oyunun openworld olmasına gerek yok.
    Oyun uzun değil fakat yarısında biraz sıkıldığımı hissettim. Yine de oyunu biraz zorlayarak bitirebildim.

    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 only thing I dislike is that if you want a good ending, you very often need to play it as a pacifist, not as a shooter game.

    So why isn't it a 10/10? Because it has some bugs, visual and gameplay wise. I personally even encountered a game breaking bug, so I had to get a save file from the internet (because this game doesn't allow you to have multiple save slots and my quick saves didn't get me far back enough before the bug), so I didn't have to replay the hole damn chapter (its like 4-5 hours). Sometimes a guy scoops water with a bucket that doesn't exist, other times there is a floating barrel. It can break the immersion when it happens. BUT it is still a great game.

    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]
