    Metro Exodus is a very average experience. It hasn't pushed into a new realm of innovation. This game feels old, mostly due to the predictable development of the story, when you think something may happen, it does every single time. Their is a massive lack of imagination with the crafting of the core game play, the way in which you interact with objects feels 15-20 years old. One ofMetro Exodus is a very average experience.

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.

    if this is a sign of things to come in 2019, then we are going to have a very poor year of games.

Small bugs like not reacting to button presses. The control scheme is all over the place, & the story is bland as hell. I also cannot get the sound to balance on my soundbar, with npc's calling me on the radio while I'm under attack so I can't read the subs, & the voices are really quiet so I miss talk that may have made the story more engaging. If you turn the volume up then you're just getting blasted with the gunfire & monsters sqeeling at you. At other times the speech is fine, but even with adjustment it doesn't help. Then there's the giant sybox bug in the 3rd open area which is hilariously 4th wall breaking.

    This is my personal opinion & I'm sure there will be enjoyment for the right people, but I don't have the patience to deal with this game anymore.

    Metro Exodus is a game for which you need to be patient to enjoy, especially if you’ve never been introduced to the Metro universe.

    The reason I say that is because of how slow the game feels on standard PS4. As if 30fps was not constraining enough, the game can be super laggy and freezy, the speed of movement is also very heavy and the aim precision is horrendous compared to Call of
    Metro Exodus is a game for which you need to be patient to enjoy, especially if you’ve never been introduced to the Metro universe.

    The reason I say that is because of how slow the game feels on standard PS4. As if 30fps was not constraining enough, the game can be super laggy and freezy, the speed of movement is also very heavy and the aim precision is horrendous compared to Call of Duty standards. The long loading times don’t make good first impression either, neither do the many bugs, textures problems, etc. Moreover, Artyom doesn’t speak, which can sound kind of cheap for a 2019 game. Even then, some dialogs are really hard to follow when everyone speaks at the same time, as it’s the case in the train in the very beginning of the game. That’s even more of a problem when there is no proper directional sound in this game. It totally feels like a 2.1, and surely not a 5.1. That makes it very confusing to detect origin of sounds, and again, makes you think the game won’t be as good as expected. On the bad part, I’d also add that the movements of some ennemies really look like they’re coming straight out of a cheap 2007 MMO, such as those many beasts seen in Volga (the first open-world level). Finally, some missions can feel redundant and the whole story evolves pretty slowly.

    But, there is a but, and it’s big. The post-apocalyptic Russian setting has never been as breathtaking as in this game. I love the fact that Metro Exodus takes the player on a journey through post-nuked Russia & Kazakhstan. The artistic direction is incredibly good in this game, I’ve had a few Wow moments such as when you enter in Novosibirsk. This whole feel of a giant journey is a main force of the game. Between each hostile environment, you feel at home in the train, and that is allowed thanks to the details of dialogues and other stuff you can see/do/hear, which are as good during the whole game. Research of detail is also made by having a fairly rich inventory: good weapon customization, lots of stuff that can be used/controlled (lamps, chargers, watches with multiple functions, filters, backpack, goggles, and more). Another aspect I love about Metro is how it mixes very tense and even paranormal phases with more calm and mentally easy moments, and that those tense moments are sometimes unexpected. Despite its huge technical problems, I really got into Metro’s universe thanks to this game, browsing its fandom pages, that’s when I know I got to like this game. If the flaws I mentioned are corrected in the next Metro, it will have the potential to be a very good game.

    I am a huge fan of the series and was very excited to play this game. Yes there is some lag due to the hardware, but it's not bad enough to make the game not enjoyable. So, yes it is an open world metro, however after awhile I found myself wishing maybe it wasn't. I actually always wanted an open world metro, but the thing is there is very little out there. You really have no significant choices to make in the world, so it just ends up ruining the pacing of the game. It's hard to explain but the game just feels pretty average. Yet, I do enjoy the game and it definitely has its moments when you are on a mission and it feels more like the previous entries.
    What's ironic is that I used to read or watch reviews with the exact complaints that I described and though "they are not true fans" or "they are being overly critical because they resent Epic exclusivity," but unfortunately such reviews are spot on.
    Buy this when it hits 20 or maybe 30 dollars.

    Les point positifs :
    - L'ambiance avec réel sentiment de post-apo, et le côté horrifique
    - La variété des environnements
    - Améliorations des armes et le bruitage de celle-ci
    - Le scénario et en particulier la fin

    Les points négatifs :
    - Le personnage principale "muet"
    - La synchronisation labiale. Les discussions manquent de fluidité et me sortent totalement de l'ambiance.

    Metro Exodus wows with some cool graphics but the overall interaction between characters is confusing and overlapping in execution, meaning motion capture and voices in scenes where there is more than 1 people speaking, the game-play it's ok but nothing too much out of the ordinary for an FPS.

    Metro Exodus is a poorly optimized average shooter back from 2009, but with the graphics of 2019. Although the last chapter of this game brings THAT atmosphere of the old Metro games back, it's not enough to justify the rest of its content.

    Быстро из минусов, это:

    Лицевая анимация, на уровне "открывает рот и что-то говорит".

    Русская озвучка, ужасна, просто отвратительно. Озвучка не правдоподобна. К тому же "мля" "нах" и подобные сленговые выражения... И слышать будете часто из-за небольшого количества вариаций фраз.

    NPC очень тупые, играл на "Рейнджер Хардкор" враги идут ко мне в комнату и умирают по очереди, или я шумел рядом, но они не обращали на это внимание. Стелс не работает от слова совсем.

    Графика, играл на PS4 там все мыльное, виды с далека красивые, но при детальном осмотре все мыльноватое. трупы дергаются, я часто застревал в текстурах, и проваливался под них.

    Механика стрельбы, ужасная, в отзывах её часто упоминают, это сильный недостаток, часто в плотную сложно попасть в противника.

    Главный герой молчит, есть ситуации в которых молчать просто нельзя, но ГГ на это абсолютно плевать хотел, его что-то спрашивают: - он молчит. И это всю игру.

    Из плюсов и крутых особенностей.

    Сюжет: Не хватает звезд с неба, но на очень хорошем уровне, он такой каким должен быть.

    Повествование этого сюжета: Смена локаций, разносортные враги (разные локации - разные враги, меняется не только внешний вид, но и менталитет, жаргон, стиль реагирования на ситуацию) одни могут сдаться в плен, другие будет драться до конца, и агрессивно нападать.

    Персонажи: Почти все ваши спутники не вызывают отвращения и их хочется слушать, меня удивило что диалогов много, гуляя по поезду можно часто натыкаться на долгую дискуссию между NPC.

    РОССИЯ: В России я люблю только 2 вещи, русский язык и природу. Так... вот если с первым пунктом игра не вывозит (я про русскую озвучку персонажей) То природа и тот факт что ты находился в России добавляет минимум 1 балл к общей оценки, но этот бал только для СНГ аудитории.
    Кастомизация, очень простая и интересная микро моменты в виде зажигалки (используется как дополнительное освещение в тандеме с фонариком). В целом игрой доволен, жду более доделанного продолжения.

    It's an average to just below average game tbh. Story is dull, voice acting isn't great & audio is all over the place. It looks good in most places, but it's really nothing to be wowed about & has definitely been downgraded. It all feels so slow & boring with exception to the odd moment. I wanted to like it but it's just pretty lame next to most other to aaa games.

The AI is dumber than dirt, the friendly AI doesn't react to anything and constantly repeats the same sentence over and over the second you take 1 step too close. The enemy AI can clip inside of walls or die inside of cars making it impossible to loot and or kill them depending on the instance. There have been countless instances where the character gets stuck on nothing just trying to back up, the boat driving is hot garbage you will get stuck and have to back up before you can go forward again....This game is a mess, it seriously needed more polish and bug checking...The fanboys can try to praise it all they want but the game is half broken and you shouldn't have to walk on egg shells or do basic tasks gingerly just to not get stuck in some geometry Expand

    Before i start this review i have to say a couple of things about he epic game Fiesco yes i know Deep silver did the wrong thing here and made a exclusive deal with epic but it doesn't make the fact that the game is bad so please stop review bombing the game because it deserves more now that that's out of the way i can start my review

    Metro exodus the third game in the series and a continuation straight out of the secret ending of first light after you the main protagonist survived the events of first light with the nazis and the dark ones you started searching for an outside place without mutants monsters or radiation so you can build a colony outside of the metro and so you find out that Moscow is radio blocked and that are more people in the world not just you and that starts your adventure

    pros:
    - i really liked the change of paste yes the game is eaiser than the others but yet its challenging and aggressive

    - i like that the game is realistic and the fact that your gun will jam if it will get dirty or you being able to patch your mask if it breaks

    - the graphics are just wow i am amazed at how this game looks realistic

    -guns feel amazing and the new crossbow is a cool add on to the mix

    -the open world and the freedom you get is just wow you are able to just explore the world without anyone bugging you about things

    -this game is R Rated which means they don"t hold back and i really like that i can actually feel like i am trying to survive at any cost

    -the new weapon crafting system is awesome and adds a lot more searching the world for parts and new things

    - the Russian dubbing is really good i recommend you to switch voice to Russian and subs to English

    - the new day and night time mechanic is really awesome basically giving you the freedom to decide at what time to strike enemies and travel outside

    cons

    -because of the new crafting system the game got a lot easier and you are harder to kill

    -there is one map where they give you a car to travel by which is pointless in my opinion i just walked off and explored everything i prefer it that way

    -the loading screen is just awful it feels like forever until the game loads up

    - story is pointless and you loose your main goal very early on and then just forget at some point what are you even doing

    -the game is clunky and has a lot of bugs fps drops rendering issues that they have to fix

    -the game is a lot more slow paste then the previous ones sometimes in the bad way

    - the game feels a little bit to short i finished it after 15 hours of exploring and searching everything i guess in this day and age 15 hours is nothing for me and i really wanted more time with this game

    - the people you meet on the way are mostly just crazed lunatics and i really wish you could meet more people to whom you can relate

    - the new mutants are an awesome mix to the roster of mutants and monsters but most are recycled and most of the new ones are plain boring so i really wished they could add better and scarier ones

    - this game took the whole survival aspect to a bad way because you can fix your mask unlike the previous games where you could just take a new one from a dead body or you can just craft bullets which makes this game less scary and you to more of a tank

    -another thing that bothered me is a mechanic they basically recycled from last light and its the do good get the good ending or do bad get the bad ending mechanic more or less like dishonored if you kill your bad but if you knock out your good i really hated the fact that they added this mechanic to the game because unlike last light there is no one there to prove your kindness to and it just effects some peoples reactions and how they talk to you and the ending which was kinda horrible and pointless

    in conclusion this game is a good change of paste but its really different from the other two its more open and you can travel and scavenge stuff and feel like you are trying to just survive but then you pull out your crafting backpack and craft the essentials that you need like air filters or first aid i really liked the game and its realism but somethings just kinda ruined it for me and that brings me to the final score i had a hard time pinning the final score to this game because the series is very close to my heart but i have to be honest about the score so my final score to metro exodus is a 7.5 out of ten it was almost a 8 but there are things in this game that are just not right and the story should have been better

    All in all, this game is really starting to annoy me. Being assigned a mission by my wife - who suddenly thinks she is in charge - when I have zero ammo for two guns and a third gun which will not fire at all is just plain game stopping for me. Add in the mindless, boring conversation and it is all starting to grate on me.

    I will finish this and move on, I doubt I will want to replay it like I did with the previous two.

    And now to positive impressions. The atmosphere of life of the Soviet people passed great. Holy icons, carpets on the walls all this is transmitted with great accuracy. Many post-Soviet citizens will remember the life of their grandparents with a smile. I am glad that the developers have passed the spirit of that era without stereotypes. I am sorry that foreign players will not be able to appreciate all this splendor.

    Now I understand why Rockstar doesn't allow to translate conversations. Subtitles only. The game has a lot of jargon, catch phrases and slang. I don't know how to explain to my foreign friend what was a joke of a particular phrase. I like the depth of each of the characters. I even remembered their names! It's very nice to come up and just listen to a conversation that can last more than 10 minutes. My respect.

The uniqueness of the Metro games was the claustrophobic feel of the train tunnel, the mysterious supernatural plot about the Dark Ones, and gritty politics based on real world ideologies.

    Exodus, however, unnecessarily forces an open world into what should have always been a linear experience. The bad parts of this game for me are the poorly written dialogue, bad voice acting, uninspired plot, forgettable characters and shallow, typical post-apocalyptic societies (been there done that). The long loading times (1-2min) are extremely aggravating too. Especially since you die pretty easily at higher difficulties and that forced me to play on normal, just to avoid staring at loading screens. I normally love NPC conversations that flesh out the lore but they were mostly painful to get through here, rambling on for too long (Krest, Admiral) and very poor voice acting (Miller, Olga, Giul, Baron). I just couldn't get invested in the story and world, often on the verge of giving up and moving on to other games. Also, the gunplay is clunky, some shots not registering despite my sniper scope clearly targeted on the enemy. The bow and Bulldog rifle are the most satisfying weapons to use.

    On a positive note, the environmental graphics are impressive, though not character animations. It has some nice guitar riffs, and exploration is engaging for a while.

    Devs, if you're reading this, plese go back to the dark, insidious tunnels if you're ever gonna do a Metro 4. My most disappointing game of 2019 just cos I loved Metro 1&2 so much.

    Sucks because aside from all the bugs and crashes, the game is really good. Like REALLY good. It just needed more work before being released.

    Mainly because of the short run time, I'd recommend buying when it's on sale. Definitely worth playing, just at a cheaper price. And if you're someone who just can't stand loading screens, either play on easy or not at all.

    Pros: - Graphics - Gameplay - Crafting & Modifications - Takes the Metro series to its next step (feels like progress in the franchise) - Varied Environments

    - Varied Environments (But check cons too...)
    - Very immersive- almost no HUD but it's easy to check direction, objective etc.

    Cons:
    - Incredibly short
    - The story is lacklustre compared to previous games. Feels generic.
    - Forgets about some of the lore from the previous games
    - Really long loading times (There are no loading screens while travelling anywhere in the world, but when you die, expect loading screens of at least 30 seconds minimum)
    - Some of the mutant enemies feel weird to shoot at...
    - Varied environments (I miss the old Metro where you actually spend most of your time in the metros- although there are still a few underground sections especially towards the end)

    - graphics, mechanics, bugs and glitches are like I'm playing a game from 2012.
    - the acting it's like you are watching a movie on nikelodeon.

    This game received a lot of critical acclaim and came highly recommended to me, so it was with great disappointment that I trudged through the opening hours only to find the same formulaic and bland approach to open-world games that we have been seeing for well over a decade now, if not longer.

    Graphics:
    These are a mixed bag. Generally they are good, yet nothing special either. The first few hours I managed to tolerate involved grey and bland environments that I frequently got lost in due their sheer blandness.

    Gameplay:
    Again, nothing special. You point and shoot your gun, with some inconsistencies in accuracy and damage. They attempted the Resident Evil approach of having limited ammunition but forgot that RE wasn't set in an open-world, making Metro's survival approach incompatible with their open world. Furthermore, far too often I was left without a clue as where to go next. The map wasn't made obvious until several hours into the game, by which point I had already experienced exasperation. Many other games have executed the concepts in Metro more successfully.

    Story:
    Some daughter of some commander is married to you but gets kidnapped and all hell ensues. Or something. The story is a bit incoherent or non-existent at first. Can't review it holistically as I was deterred after a few hours into the game.

    Conclusion:
    It's very easy to dismiss a review such as mine through noting I haven't played the whole game, however this is exactly why it can be argued as being an average or bad game - it did little to make me want to play it further. It was cumbersome and a chore to play, which is rather counterintuitive to the premise of videogames in general. Avoid this unless you're desperate for another open-world romp, and only then at a lower price.

    Fairly good game with some looong movies, but interesting story and situations, especially when you can take decisions what to do, instead of being driven by standard path.

    Still, I have played better games. This is little above average.

    Really wanted to like this game... I've enjoyed the previous installments so figured this would be pretty solid. The game is obtuse and the world design is just boring. Half the time you are wondering around wondering where the heck you are supposed to go and then when you do enter combat it just isn't that exciting. Wish I could sell this, but alas it's on PC.

Graphics are really good on PS4 Pro, frames good and consistent, only drops when zooming on certain moving objects. Enviroments are excellent. Still has a few game/immersion breaking bugs likes of enemies freezing. Movement and sensitivity is undoubtedly unsuitable but this can turn itself around as offering a more slower paced, tactical speed-restricter which can fit the atmosphere well. Voice acting is below average, there appears to be hit-reg problems but I think this is as a result of little bullet drop-off representation mechanics and appears as if bullets go straight through enemies. One of the top few best gunplay engines I've seen despite sensitivity issues. feels only months away from a flawless game. If it had released like this it would have had a phenomenal reception, very close to a masterpiece. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metro Exodus gets a lot right, but unfortunately it gets a lot more wrong. Let's start with graphics. The graphics didn't stun me like they stunned a lot of people (I'm running on a GTX 970 on a 1080p 27" monitor while the game was on Ultra), and at times it felt pretty bland. The textures are high in quality, but the design of enemies and environments is pretty bland. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. A post-apocalyptic world with lots to see, and it was very pretty to look at. The character design wasn't the best I've seen, but certainly not the worst either. Really just average, but for a franchise that typically boasts benchmarking I just don't see it.

    The story seems very forces, particularly in the delivery of the characters and voice acting. The main character is fed up that no one else believes there's more to the world outside of Moscow and Metro. In true dreamer fashion, he can't be contained and continues to explore the world until he and his wife see a train. Bam, they aren't alone. He gets shot point blank, falls 20 feet, gets fallen on by two other corpses (who were shot and fell from the same distance), only to get back up, pop a medkit, and roll on out. The character drone on and on in no interesting fashion at all. They want you to complete side missions for them like grabbing a guitar and a doll for them. In other words, put yourself in "danger" and I'll make it worth your while with a gun upgrade or something.

    Combat is nothing innovative. If you've played most modern day fps games, you'll slide right in. That's not a negative either. I found that the combat was pretty seamless and I enjoyed the rare times I got to shoot some people up. It's really stealth that leaves me scratching my head. Typical "crouch in a shadow and the AI wont see you" deal here. You can be right next to an enemy, and if you're crouched in stealth you're as good as shadow. I'd trade the stealth mechanic for more ammo and more enemies.

    On another note, I had really thought there would be more mods for the game. Most all the mods I've seen have been reshades to make a pretty game look even prettier.

    All in all, not impressed with my 20+ hours of the game.

Gotta love this. The graphics are beautiful. Lovely level design, especially Taiga, loved the idea of moving with the train through the four seasons. You have a lot to explore, but it can get a bit boring. Chapters are divided between exploring ( a lot), shooting and stealthy missions, or go full rambo if you want. Keep in mind that, like the previous games, it will affect your ending. Characters are not that interesting and the story, plot are a bit rushed but it didn't bothered me that much. I don't consider it the best of the trilogy, but it's a good game. It still has that feeling that kept me going until the end, the same feeling that i had on 2033 and last light. Expand

This game has by far the least action sequences of the previous Metro games. The animation of the characters and the dialogues are not good as it could be. The performance on PS4 Pro + Boost mode is in avg 20~30fps. I've played the game 4 months afte the launch and there are still plenty of bugs. The history is also weaker against the history of the previous games. The first act is fine, the second act (caspian desert) is not good, as its a directly call from mad max, and the third act is the best one (the forest and the metro).

    Let me start with the good:
    Game has amazing aesthetics and realism. As someone who knows soviet era very well (I am from post-USSR country), game captures world design is very very realistic way, with nice extra details and interactions with NPCs too.
    Overall: well made design.
    You can get a lot of story from just listening to npcs and in general, there is no much downtime as story picks fast and does not give you time to explore as everything feels urgent.
    From technical side: dynamic coms dialogue system is amazing, more games should have this.
    From maps side: By far the best open world map has been Taiga, very atmospheric especially at night.
    Weapons: there is good variety of guns and makes play-style not boring, but I wish there were some non-lethal guns too.
    Ending: there are 2 and I got the bad one. It is apparently NOT easy to get good ending. But I kinda feel like bad ending makes sense.

    Now the bad:
    Movement: I don't like the clunky "moon gravity-like" jumps and movement.
    30fps on PS5 is NOT acceptable.
    In general I found no reason to have sort of quasi-open world as the game did. Linear game is perfect for this type of storytelling.
    Glitches/bugs: overall very few but checking map in a drivable car in Caspian glitches the camera.

    Maps: by far the "worst" map was Caspian. it is not pure bad but by comparison to other bioms/maps, I think this is the weakest.
    Gunplay is overall good but there is pretty much no way to play this game in pure stealth. At least it was not obvious to me how.

    Strangely there was almost no mission where the tracks were obscured by other trains and we had to remove it , something like that. I feel like game is giving a bit too much "deus ex machina".

    And finally: compared to other metro games, there is almost no supernatural until the ending and just a little bit, maybe some see this as positive.

    VERDICT: Good game, but weaker than 2033 and Last light for sure.

    Pretty enjoyable. It's not really an 8/10, but also isn't "mixed" as the 7/10 would suggest. Open world parts don't work that well (I didn't like the Caspian level at all), but when the game gets linear it's really really good. Basic but solid gameplay, good graphics, gripping story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rating 5/10 and being generous.

    Metro Exodus picks up right after the events of Metro 2033 while this furthers the story the game is lack luster at best, while we do get a very much needed QOL improvement in the back pack allowing players to change Only their equipped weapons attachments something that the community has been requesting for Years now. Thats literally it. Everything else about the game is the same from the previous two installments unless you want to count a reskinned arrow launcher over hte first two games. While Im still going to try my damnedest to enjoy this game it has some major flaws that if it wasn't for these I would be rating much higher. I am referring to unskippable cut scenes and having spent the first 20minutes of the game either in a cut scene, stuck in some dialog or stuck in a room unable to move until these NPCs quit circle jerking each other which happened multiple times in just the first 20minutes of game play of which only a minute possibly two were spent actually playing the game having gotten up to go make food, use the facilities or other wise walk away from some boring conversation filler/fluff. This includes the "Hay Artoyms back lets let everyone give a high five" like we all just got done with a big bro fest *shutters as flash backs of high school ensue* This lazy mans attempt of caricature writing seems entirely to optimistic in a world that can only be defined as apocalyptic and dystopian living off of rats and pickled eggs yet were all smiling and not grown men battle hardened crying praying for green fields blue skies a wind without the bitter cold of nuclear radiation and the bitter taste of acid rain that would melt any amount of protective outer wear. Also the beginning seems well lets call it far fetched at best and absurd at worst see the hero returning only to be interrupted by his own people as if the events in the first two games either completely didn't happened or are just being ignored as they literally open fire on Artoym the very person that saved them all.

    And while I havn't gotten to the point where I have Night Vision I can already assume that the same Night Vision Goggles affect exists in this game as it did in the previous incarnations where they all have this weird charging sound when you turn it on for god knows what reason, with the same limited visibility even in the dark having night vision that cant see past 10-15 meters in front of you is not how you do night vision all the while not showing light reflected or refracted off of surfaces like walls all you see is the source in this over overwhelmingly bright greenish white and gray hue, again im assuming that this yet another thing they havn't changed.

    Lastly of course while im nit picking everything thats wrong lets not miss the fact that the game should be called Metro 22,000 as the half life of Plutonium 239 (The main element used in nuclear weapons) has a have life of 22,000Years+- I assume that 2033 or "The Years Following" were more catchy to a focus group?

    Well at least from the references from this game I got the cannon ending in 2033, but not Last Light. So I have a massive major disconnect playing Artyom in Exodus. Well considering he blew himself to hell in Last Light. I have already gone through the emotional roller coaster of the death of Artyom in Last Light. It was epic and he went out like a boss.

    The no kill in certain sections or get a crap ending is total scripted BS. Why no kill? They will kill you as soon as you see you so FTS all is fair in love and war. Another BS move the developers pull very late game. You know all that grinding and exploring to the max? The developers take all your weapons and loot off you. Yeah its like restarting the game from scratch. FTS waste of time grinding the previous levels to max for nothing.

    Ok what I was looking for was a Stalker game type of vibe. Open ended maps, freaky mutants, hostile factions, dangerous anomalies and environments. While using funky strange customization weaponry/gear to survive. I did want a more open exploration Metro game and I got one that met my general expectations. However this game also made me miss the actual Metro tunnel environment. I liked half of the levels/maps and disliked the other half.

    The moral system is dumb and makes for a slow boring stealth game if going for the best of the two endings. The game looks and sounds great. As for the story ok and the VA passable to meh. Standing around listening to all the exposition dumps on the train was/is kind of boring. Woah they used to put all the exposition dumps in gameplay sections in the Metro Redux. The choice to still keep the protagonist silent in the main game was immersion breaking. For all the gameplay flaws Sam and the Two Colonels DLC prove that story wise a voiced character works out better to tell a story.

    The scripted sequences and how they deal with the bosses human and monster are so unsatisfying. The boats are awful to use in one section, but thankfully I found I could navigate around that map on foot mostly. The gunplay is not the best and the combat when fighting monster types comes across as so cheap and amateurish.

    Metros to my mind were never strong FPS games. It was all the other stuff that elevated the Metro 2033/Last Light experience. A tightly scripted linear experience is better for keeping the player focused constantly on the story and narrative. The ambience and atmosphere was amazing in those games. In this Metro the option to meander about poking around makes the story and narrative take a back seat to the exploration factor. Completing 2033/Last Light I have the richness of those memories to add to Exodus. So Metro Exodus is a weaker narrative experience without the first two games to flesh out the characters and world building. I have replayed this game twice and I probably will again. Very immersive game, but also very story cliche and full of old naff gaming tropes.

    Sam Story DLC: The levels were small linear cut off areas. With the play time padded out by mines in a cheap lazy gimmicky way. Yeah more Exodus, but not better Exodus. Have fun getting stuck on the finicky environment and getting cheap shotted. Ending was ok I suppose, but the bosses human/monster were unsatisfying conclusions.

    Two Colonels DLC: In the vein of old style Metro this new DLC should be good right? I just found the gameplay slow, clunky, finicky with cheap shot mechanics in very tight spaces. Very short chapter and so maybe just for uber fans.

    Metro Exodus takes place mostly at open spaces, there are no levels in metro. There are open-world levels that are maybe unnecessarily too big. Metro 2033 levels were such corridors and the game could even qualify as a "walking simulator". Last Light felt more balanced on level size. This is not a big deal though.

    The reason why I give Exodus 6/10 is due to technical issues. The game constantly loads in textures (+low frame rate and frame drops) and loading screens are one of the longest on PS4. It can take up to two (!) minutes just to reload your checkpoint.

    A solid and enjoyable game with many flaws, if you love Metro or other single player survival shooters you will love this on it's higher difficulties. It suffers in some areas such as VA and some input lag but makes up for its flaws in spades with the tense gameplay and fantastic world. It's a game you'll enjoy just din't ecpect to be blown away or experience anything revolutionary.

That is just the first half of the year too. The Metro Exodus is the one I was looking most forward out of all of these and for the most part it holds up. Exodus is the third entry of Artyom’s journey through the metro fighting mutants and bandits alike. Being that this is the third entry they had to turn it up to 11 with this game and take you completely out of the metro this time around; which was an excellent choice.

    The story is a on the road type of apocalypse type of story or in this games case it is a on the rails journey due you travel through Russia via a train the whole game. The game also decided to take literally every single post apocalypse story and cram it into one game. We get the cannibals, religious cult, the baron of a wasteland who controls the gas, and the people who have been trapped in an area and are ignorant to any strangers. You get all that and more!! This does make the story more focused on the characters and their journey and not on any event that was happening unlike Last Light’s Soviet invasion. Artyom still doesn’t talk which truly hurts the scenes where you and Ana (his wife) are supposed to be having heartfelt moments which fall flat because he won’t respond to anything. The worst part of the story is the ending. The ending was cliché and anti-climatic which sucks for something that should be the last in the series of having a lack luster end game.

    The game itself looks and plays great. They introduced this crafting mechanic that isn’t too complicated, but necessary if you want to survive. The crafting makes sense because it is the end of the world there wasn’t going to be any shops laying around for you to buy bullets. One mechanic they introduced I need to see in more games is their human AI. This AI is more tactical and won’t just sit there waiting to be killed they also do something no AI ever does and that is surrender. If you are a killing machine like myself the bandits will drop their guns in which point you can leave them, punch them, or my favorite do a knife execution. The shooting feels nice, but the limited type of guns available meant I really just use the same two throughout most of the story. This time around it is open world which works well with this game. I never did much exploring through the various worlds, so I assume there is much to see I just can’t say for sure.

    Overall it was a good game my only issue is that I don’t know if it’s something that I’d ever go back to. I think that the story never hooked me, and I never ended up caring about the character while the gameplay was fun it wasn’t enough to leave me wanting more. I give this game a nice solid BARGAIN BIN.

    I feel bad reviewing any game after only playing for one hour, so I'm giving a +1 courtesy point to this review, increasing my 4 up to a 5. It's rare to feel so turned off by a game in so little time.

    Pretty much from the start, the gameplay is clunky and slow compared to the enemies. Controls don't work and it takes several tries just to reload your damn weapon. Graphics are on par

Graphics are on par with a PS3 game, definitely not next-gen. The voice acting reminds me of a drunk friend impersonating a Russian person and had me chuckling and shaking my head for most of the early cutscenes. This was amplified by the poor writing. The ambient sound was pretty bad too, like the superfast pitter-patter sound of your footsteps.

    Anyway, it was pretty obvious after an hour what I was in for, so deciding to remit this title back to Redbox. Really glad i didn't purchase this thing after seeing the cool trailers.

    Metro Exodus is the third game in the series, and the first time to include elements like open-world, cinematic storytelling and non-winter terrain. So how is the game?

    Well to get it out of the way, it is a good game. Elements it takes from the previous Metro games are still good, and sometimes even better. Unfortunately, there are also many elements that are new or revised which are not so good.

    The Metro games have always been a Lineair Suvival Horror experience, which it is good at. What it is not so good at, is being a semi-open world. With the new larger maps that give the player more freedom comes the problem of slower pacing, chaotic pathfinding and confusion. The atmosphere of the apocalyptic tunnels and post-nuclear moscow is lost the moment the player enters these open maps, as the tension and well directed fear is lost. To describe this game the best, i will rate every chapter/map:

    Introduction in Moscow: (6/10)
    This part of the game is meant to give a quick tutorial, but also sets up the story. Sadly, this part is not very strong. What makes Moscow interesting as a location, is that you will always be under the threat of radiation. It is your home, yet the story immediately leaves this very interesting location under the bases that there's a whole open world outside Moscow. This twist undermines the great stories of the previous games.

    The Volga (7/10):
    This is where problems start to show. The freedom to explore a map rather than following a well directed path, is that the overall experience changes to something average without much tension. There's a mission in this map which locks you inside a large complex with only a single direction to go. There are mutants appearing, and it instantly feels familiar to the previous Metro games. Apart from this section however, it feels more like a standard open world FPS than a Metro game. The cultists are mostly NPC's that stand in your way, and offer no interesting challenge or backstory.

    The Bunker level (8/10):
    This level embraces the lineair adrenaline fueled tension and atmosphere of the previous games, and it instantly makes it a far more enjoyable experience. You fight through dozens of cannibals to get to your precious Anna (which is nothing more than a damsel in distress in this game), and learn what happened to the government after the bombs dropped. Very cool mission. Sadly the AI was a bit dumb.

    The Caspian Sea (5/10):
    Truth be told, it felt like a choir to get through this level. A desert area with a car, which feels like a Mad Max rip-off, has nothing remotely reminiscent to Metro games. The distances are too large, especially considering the car steers like **** The slaves are not interesting, and none of the Atmosphere from Nuclear Moscow is present here. There's one mission where you go underground while fending of spiders, which is enjoyable. But that's it. Very underwhelming level.

    Taiga (7/10):
    This mission is far less open world than the previous missions, and it makes the game a whole lot better. The path is far more directed and lineair, which brings back some atmosphere and tension. Sadly though, the people in this area are not very intriguing, nor does the story care about them. It feels like just another stop to the actual destination.

    The Dead City (10/10:
    Now this is Metro! Back is the Lineair Nuclear Winter atmosphere, the darkness, the cold, the radiation. The silence of a city that is even more radiated than Moscow brings a constant tension and immersion far better than event the previous games did. Familiar monsters like the Nosalises return, and new enemies are encountered that are interesting and frightening. Supernatural elements return in the way only Metro games can, and it makes for a level that is the best part of the game. I wish 4A games had made a game that only had levels like the Dead City.

    Apart from all this, 4A games decided to change some things in favour of a more cinematic experience. Sadly, i think this was a bad decision. Climbing on ladders, looting enemies and opening doors now requires holding a button rather than tapping a button. Animations have been added that feel unnecessary and make the game slower rather than better. The bullet currency system is gone in favour of a crafting system, which is not as fun. Crafting on the go is a welcome addition however!

    All in all you get my point. I feel like a more lineair game like the previous entries and The Dead City level would have made for an amazing game. Sadly, this game isn't it. But it is still a good game. I give this game a 7/10.

    Let me start with that I’ve read all the Metro books&played all the games&I’d have to say that Metro Exodus is the weakest of the 3 games though it’s better than the book it’s based on (Metro 2035).As I’m sure many PC players have noticed,Exodus is trying very hard to copy the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series though it never really comes close&boy does it try.For the 1st time in the series itLet me start with that I’ve read all the Metro books&played all the games&I’d have to say that Metro Exodus is the weakest of the 3 games though it’s better than the book it’s based on (Metro 2035).As I’m sure many PC players have noticed,Exodus is trying very hard to copy the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series though it never really comes close&boy does it try.For the 1st time in the series it introduces an open-world concept that isn’t quite open-world.It’s successful in the wandering through an empty map but only serves a purpose of going between linear missions,from pt A to pt B.Which is highly ironic,it’s an ‘open-world’ game that’s trying to hide that it’s a completely linear game similar to the 1st 2 games.You can tell that the open-world part of the game was just shoe-horned in to meet today’s open-world expectation.No metro in Metro

    As for the story,oh boy the story.In the 1st 2 games of the series you’d get a synopsis of the story&where you’re headed on the loading screen.In Exodus,it turns out this is all the story you’re going to get(not to mention the loading screens on PS4 could be upwards 8-10mins in places).The story here has really gone off the rails,pun intended.It simply doesn’t exist.The characters have huge exposition dumps,in the English dub,they actually talk over each other&it’s a mess of voices. They talk AT you so much that you don’t even care to listen. But the worst character of all is your good ol’ wife.Who NEVER shuts up!! I still don’t know what her purpose is;she’s completely useless&usually wanders off when you’re away so when you come back you find out that you have to go save her yet again(Unless you’re wandering the land like I was&fell into a hole nearly on top of her,triggering a story mission where she was passed out by herself.&what did she do when I found her?Start yabbering about how I saved her,&I’m her hero&hacking a lung.) Later on there was a doctor character(never gets a name)who you think is going to have a purpose within the story but you’d be wrong.Wifey takes care of that thought.Same with the govt leftovers in a bunker.Within the story,they tell you that all the radiation was a lie,but in game wandering around you’ll keep coming upon random patches of radiation as though it’s once again trying to be S.T.A.L.K.E.R.You constantly need to change your filter,but need crafting supplies to make them,not once does the game ever think you won’t be able to have these supplies on you.

    Time doesn’t change for mission type.If you want to sneak in under cover of darkness, you better make sure you sleep b/c that’s all that determines day/night (there’s no setting dusk, dawn or anything in between).The game doesn’t set your time for the mission.I literally went into a mission that didn’t say until I was in it&already auto-saved,that we wanted to sneak in&it was still daylight. After unsuccessfully trying to get past the enemies in daylight about 20 times,I finally just sat there for 10mins real time for it to get dark before I could successfully complete the mission without having to kill every enemy in the area.

    There are no longer any ammo pick-ups that existed in the 1st 2 games. Any&all ammo must be crafted&the crafting system is never really introduced or explained in-game.You have to play through half the first open-world level before you unlock a crafting table in the train.You know,the table you need for that ammo creation.Disclaimer:the only ammo you can create in the field is ball bearings,the worst type. &b/c there is no free ammo in the world, you will constantly run out due to the constantly spawning and re-spawning enemies in the open world.I had to melee so many enemies due to being out of ammo.

    All modifications must be found in world.Where once there were traders that you could purchase gun attachments and weapons that suit your play style or the mission requirements, Exodus has no currency&there are no traders.Everything must be found in level or on enemies.The most baffling part is that this game doesn’t give you ammo from enemies.If you pick through the enemies afterwards you’ll get weapon attachments,which can have unlimited repeats.Once in a while you may be lucky enough to stumble onto ONE bullet in an enemies’ gun. Woohoo.
    You have to switch your weapons so much due to each mission being different but you can only switch at the train which is always on the other side of the map&there is no fast travel option.&then you can’t use the best weapons for the mission b/c you won’t have any ammo&thus are relegated to using whichever has ammo available.

    In conclusion,I don’t recommend this game.If you must try it then I would highly recommend renting it.Don’t buy it.Buy the Metro Redux bundle and play those.Remember the golden days of Metro, before 2035 came into existence

    Игра Metro 2033 оказалась достаточно хорошей. Не все персонажи были такими как я их себе представлял, естественно не всё было прям по книге, но. Шутерная часть оказалась неплохой, история хорошей и главное в игре была просто невероятная атмосфера.
    Last Light оказалась типичным сиквелом с улучшенной графикой, улучшенной стрельбой, с самостоятельным сюжетом продолжающим оригинал, но не имеющим с книгами ничего общего.
    И вот Metro Exodus, как было сказано по книге Метро 2035.
    Скажу сразу игра в целом не плохая. Она красивая, имеет неплохой сюжет, несколько разных концовок зависящих от способа прохождения. Прокачку оружия улучшили. Теперь можно собирать оружие буквально изо всякого говна валяющегося под ногами. Игра стала более обширной, что ли. Ну вот пожалуй всё безусловно хорошее, для меня в этой игре.
    Теперь о не очень хорошем.
    Мне ужасно не понравилось как герой перемещается по миру. Он запинается о каждую кочку или камушек, при этом звук шагов просто ужасен.
    Стрельбу толком не доработали, она осталась на уровне предыдущей игры. Повторю стрельба не плохая, но хотелось бы получше. Иногда оружие само стреляет.
    Стелс в игре так же остался на прежнем уровне, так себе. Хотя в Exodus его стало в разы больше.
    Исчезает звук.
    И ещё, лицевая анимация! Картонные морды, рубленые движения.
    Модернизация оружия, как я уже сказал, более глобальная, но это на первый взгляд. Через 3 часа я уже собрал идеальное для меня оружие и почти не менял его до конца.
    Ещё мне не понравилось то, может это я не понял, что игру надо проходить определённым способом чтобы получить хорошую концовку. Об этом узнал уже после прохождения, поглядев достижения в меню консоли.
    Но самое главное игра потеряла, как мне кажется, ту атмосферу подземелий метро которая была в первых двух играх. Да в книге она тоже пострадала, но всё же.
    Собираюсь попробовать игру ещё раз через годик, полтора. Может патчами поправят ходьбу, звуки, стрельбу, но к сожалению атмосфере это не поможет.
    И так, мы имеем очень неплохую игру во вселенной Метро. Которую визуально теперь можно спутать с какой нибудь Modern Warfare. Хорошо это или плохо... Честно говоря, сказать трудно. Ясно одно, игра почти утратила свою идентичность и становится всё больше "одной из". А вот это не правильно.
    Вышли десятки патчей. И... И ничего не изменилось. Ходить не удобно, звук шагов как от протезов, сам звук пропадает. Да, загрузки стали по 15 минут, это серьёзно!
    Последнее DLC, "Sam's Story", это вообще смачный засос с язычком авторов в булки своих господ за океаном. Сюжет у которого: "Русские это тупое быдло", "Америкосы спасут мир". Стыдно украина!

    Из плюсов - атмосфера, попытки сделать так, чтобы игрок был больше погружен в происходящее вокруг себя и вжился в роль ГГ. Диалоги, кат-сцены и пр. отлично с этим справляются, но все ломает то, что ГГ опять немой. Из минусов - это все тот же геймплей метро, состоящий из унылых перестрелок и еще более унылого стелса, тем кто играл, я думаю, не нужно объяснять как это все это выглядит.Из плюсов - атмосфера, попытки сделать так, чтобы игрок был больше погружен в происходящее вокруг себя и вжился в роль ГГ.

Попытки разбавить геймлей поездками на лодке или газели его не спасают.

    DLC:
    Два полковника лютый кал: унылая “трогательная” история про охуенное взаимопонимание этих двух хуесосов не впечатляет, геймплей это просто жопа, в начале полчаса ходишь по вонючим коридорам, поджигаешь аналог паутины и мобов, которые выскакивают на секунду, при этом охуенно дамажа, потом смотришь криво сделанные геймплейные катсцены, потом идет еще более кривой и жалко выглядящий экшн с перестрелками (сначала валит толпа, которая по тебе не стреляет, потом надо прятаться за укрытием, вставать и стрелять минуты две), в конце полчаса ходишь, постреливая мутантов и в самом конце супер убогая и кривая драка с боссом-гориллой, это просто пиздец. Короче, взяли одну из самих мерзких локаций из оригинала, и в этом была ошибка (вторая худшая локация используется во втором длц). Лучше бы сделали мясной шутер в Ямантау, в это хотя бы играть было бы фаново и интересно.Самоповторы, отсутствие фантазии, хохлы - это вся суть серии метро. Длц (а на фоне них, кстати, оригинал смотрится прямо таки шедевром) полностью убедили меня в том, что 4А самая худшая и бездарная гейм девелопмент компания в СНГ. Плюс ко всему какая-то нелепая антикоммунистическая пропаганда, прикол в том, что тамошние “коммунисты” были намного адекватнее их противников. Единственный плюс заключается в том, что ГГ перестал молчать. 0/10

    История Сэма тоже говно, правда выпустили в открытый мир и была прикольная сцена с пьянкой. Но если бы они сделали так, что они бы в итоге бухали с этим мутантом я бы поставил 10, а так только 1/10

    It was fun to play. Graphics were very good aswell. But the reason to why it isn't a positive review is because there is an insane number of bugs. Some gamebreaking ones aswell

    Overall not a bad game not expecting it to be the best game of all time but the setting is interesting and I liked the way they tried to be different and the slow gunplay and harsh mechanics can make it a tough game playing on harder modes .

    It's definitely an improvement on previous Metro games, since they've made it more open-world and increased the variety of environments you traverse through. There's a lite crafting system that allows you make most anything you need using 2 basic resources you scavenge, and picking through abandoned ruins for supplies reminded me a lot of the Fallout games, which is great.

    Story is ok.

    Story is ok. It's a bit melodramatic and wordy. Characters yap on endlessly. I feel like there are some Russian tropes I'm just not understanding, like the overprotective dad who's constantly giving yoyu crap.

    The main problem with Exodus is that it's so buggy. I can't recall the last time I've played a game that could have benefitted from more QA. I had enemies become invincible and couldn't be killed. Takedown icons often don't show up for some reason, which is a real issue when you're trying to go for stealth. Got stuck in a wall once doing a stealth takedown as the enemy turned around.

    Absolutely terrible driving mechanics. Not just slow, unresponsive, and clunky, but the car point of view often blocks your vision, and sometimes even bugs out so you can barely see anything. I understand that they were going for realism, but geez. This is the worst driving engine I've seen since the PS2 era. I honestly can't remember a worse driving experience in a game than this. This game is not well optimized and has long load times.

    Ultimately there is a lot of good, and a lot of bad. The worm level(you'll know it when you see it) is great enough to push this game towards the good spectrum though.

    The least favorite of the Metro series. Something is missing that the first two episodes offered. On standard pS4 it suffers from framerate drops.

    The concept of the game is marvelous, however, it’s very bad executed. Shooting feels terrible, the craft system is ok but using the guns, bombs and gadgets during a fight is unnecessary complicated.
    Dying for falling less than 2 meters high, really? That was the thing that most annoyed me.
    Graphics are excellent but the voice acting is awful. It’s a shame because it could’ve been a 9, but

    Graphics is good. Story is great, but the movement is spoils the whole game ---> Gravity is like being on the Moon. Important thing is... Don't Die! Because the Loading Time is very long.

    This game would have been good 10 years ago but doesn't hold up today. For starters the story just felt a bit generic and didn't bring anything to the table that we haven't already heard somewhere else. The mechanics felt really dated and were the exact same as other titles in the series. Ontop of that so many times I would shoot a target and would somehow miss?

Like how can I have missed when someone was standing still and I shot them in the head?? Melee is basically useless so if you run out of bullets just run away and find some cos melee is weak and never hits the target. You have a knife but it hits with your gun for some reason aswell? This is subjective but I wish we had actual cutscenes and your character spoke. Atleast then this game would offer with previous titles didn't. Another thing I found weird was that by default controller speaker is off in settings? Why would you not have the PlayStation features on by default? Look acceleration sucks and you can't disable it. I prefer games in a lower sensitivity but this game is low even with it turned right up. Loading screens are long even on Ps5 with SSD. Sometimes the game would be a bit buggy like getting stuck in places and stuff. It's free on PS plus premium thou so play it on there lol. Expand

    I played the previous games before playing Exodus, and I definitely think this one is better. Although not a huge fan of the switch away from the underground, this game was just as immersive and better than the previous ones across all aspects.

    I passed this pleasant game in principle, of course, it was spoiled in some moments of the game by bugs that I went through because of which, so that's it.Not bad in terms of geimplay, a good plot and a great atmosphere

    I played the PS5 version of this game but did not have the complete edition so here I am. I have very mixed emotions about this game. I believe it legitimately had the chance to be something close to a masterpiece, but it is so clunky in some weird areas. Dialogue and sound in this game feels so weird, uncomfortable and out of place, and the ambience is kind of underwhelming.

However, played in the hardest difficulty it is a great immersive challenge that can put anyone in insane tension, so huge props to them for that. It excels in so many aspects like it’s lore, plot and gameplay, but falls short on others. I highly recommend but warn about it’s flaws. Expand

    Its a good stealth game, graphically stunning. Havent played the first two. As a shooter the game is not so good, since you die with 2 bullets, its hard to stealth too since most of your weapons alert enemies. And if you see a bat mutant flying around and you decide to fight it, prepare to lose every ammo and resource you have, because these things never die.

    Having moved the action away from the dark tunnels of Moscow's underground onto a train, going into the unknown and forced to make stops throughout the journey, Metro Exodus' authors created a memorable interactive adventure consisting of happiness from discovering love and grief from irreplacebale loss, hope of better future and despair from understanding the truth. On top of that one might call Exodus a distorting mirror that reveals the most horrible sins of mysterious Russian soul: heresy and servilism.

    Metro Exodus opens up a world held closed by its predecessors. This time, it's up to our well known hero Artyom to explore the unexplored regions of Mother Russia, in all of its open world glory. So sit back and enjoy the unique experience, visual wonders and darkest secrets of the beloved Metro universe.

    Overall, Metro Exodus is an enjoyable shooter. Taking Metro out of the Metro is a good move for the series, but the game still provides plenty of claustrophobic locations for those who enjoyed the dark tunnel crawls of Metro games past. The ammunition system is still limited, but it feels better managed and more forgiving this time out, although I can still see it as being frustrating to some players. If you haven't played a Metro game before or were put off by the games in the past, give Metro Exodus a chance. You can catch this train running and enjoy the ride.
