    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, I'm a big fan of Metro and Exodus for me was 10/10. Then after great amount of time they released Two Colonels, which was extremley short but story was heartbreaking. I was persuading myself that this is only small dlc before great masterpiece. I think it's my fault - I was expecting something if not as strong as vanilla final, then smth at least similar to Tayga or Volga. Broken expectations for me.

    Sam's story is also very short (I did it in ~6 hours, but I spent about 40 minutes trying to come back through the car junkyard after I realised I've missed 1 question on the map an it was before encounter with the demon). Too many unused water on the level, just "dead decorations" which reminds me of Fallout 4 where they made a 1/4 or even 1/3 of the map unplayable water. Boat is really annoying for me so thanks a lot that I had a chance to explore level without it using wooden bridges between islands.

    I used to play in Russian and Sam's accent is a disaster. Well, at first it was okay to hear his voice in comparison to mute Artyom, but it was okay about 1 hour of gameplay. In English version Sam sounds pretty god just because he always speaks on his native language. But in Russian... How the hell can he speak like a goddamn retard after spending 20 years with russians? Why Tom sounds so much better, and he was surrounded with "cheeki breeki i v damki"?  Why you spent whole year on the 6 hours of gameplay? I want to emphasize your attention on the fact that guys from CDPR made almost new game in their second DLC. You guys look pale in comarison with them.

    I feel frauded, cheated. I know you guys could do it much better but we have what we have. Anyway I was happy to return in the Metro world, I consider it the best postapocalypse game, but I cant't give this dlc more than 5.

    Hope it's not the end of the Metro and we will see another masterpieces from you, but not like that dlc.

    Seems like not my day.    … Expand

    The game is full of bugs and performance issues. I had massive fps drops in 1440p playing on ultra and texture problems. (spec - 2080ti, 3700x, 16gig 3200mhz and ssd.) The story is mediocre, and a world is just empty. I'm a metro fan, loved the games and the Two Colonels DLC. This is a bit of a let down

    This is a good DLC for Metro Exodus which continues the story nicely. The gameplay is the same as Metro Exodus With some really good moments (damn spiders) although of course it is a lot shorter. Sadly it seems glitchier than the original game and there were times when textures such as signs or posters wouldn’t load correctly or take ages to load. Overall a decent expansion that you shouldThis is a good DLC for Metro Exodus which continues the story nicely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Для меня оригинал и дополнение "Два Полковника" проекты на 10/10.
    У "Истории Сэма" есть весомые плюсы:
    1) То что DLC создано на основе оригинальной игры и просто не может не играться хорошо.
    2) Невероятно красивое окружение и локации.
    3) Неплохие второстепенные персонажи и квесты.

    Минусы же куда комплекснее и заключаются в следующем, что в отличии от прошлого дополнения, авторам нечего было сказать и проект является чисто коммерческим продуктом.
    Проявляется это в затянутой истории и в том, что две концовки практически ни к чему не приводят. Т.е. поясню:

    Сэм ставит перед собой задачу, вернуться домой и увидеть отца. Об этом он мечтал долгие годы !
    Как минимум есть несколько х/д фильмов, которые отлично справились с этой тематикой и с течением финала дарили незабываемые эмоции. Пример: Лев (2016) и Баллада о солдате (1959).
    И вот, к сами финалам:
    Первая коновка DLC, где Сэм взрывает подлодку и никуда не едет более менее драматичная, но потом ты задумываешься, а зачем я тогда всё это делал ?
    Вторая концовка DLC, где он решает не взрывать подлодку, работает только частично, так как он не достиг своей цели, а только частично продвинулся к ней.
    То есть вернулся в город, а о том, что будет искать отца, только говорит и так сказать, анонсирует на будущее, из-за чего этот финал является немного фрустрирующим и не дарит нужных эмоций.
