    Metro Exodus on PS5 is one of the best survival wastelands to explore on the new console. With enhanced textures, stunning ray-tracing and global illumination, and immersive DualSense implementation, what is on offer here is an experience like no other. If you skipped it on PS4 or want to play again, there are ample enhancements here that make the Moscow Wasteland worth exploring all over again.

    Metro Exodus Complete Edition is the tightest and one of the most beautiful atmospheric and visual experiences you can afford. It is a truly artistic masterpiece that is helped by a solid story and excellent level design. It may be a bit tough and unfitting for certain audiences due to its slow gameplay and big surroundings that may take a long time to get around.

    One of PS4’s best and most underrated shooters pulls out all the stops on PS5. A technical marvel that goes full steam ahead on Sony’s new console. [Issue#4, p.76]

    Metro Exodus on PS5 is the ultimate version to play. The visuals are better than ever, and the DualSense implementation is remarkable.

    Metro Exodus Complete Edition not only runs at 4K 60 FPS for PS5 and Series X. The game shows great lightning effects (ray traced), new high resolution textures... and it is still a great single player, story driven FPS.

    Despite looking pretty impressive the first time round, the visual upgrades alone to Metro Exodus make it a worth entry in the PS5’s catalogue. It might help to play the others first, but when this is the conclusion, it looks and plays too good not to. Just work on those trigger-pulling muscles for the haptic feedback.

    The end result is a vastly improved version of what is by far the best title set in Dmitry Glukhovsky’s apocalyptic Russia – even if the voice work, in English at least, is uneven to put it kindly.

    Metro Exodus looks and plays better than ever before on consoles with this version. Exodus is a great game, and whether you haven’t played it yet or just want to replay it, the ray tracing and the DualSense’s features makes it worth your time.

    Metro Exodus debuts on next-gen platforms with a substantially improved version, with higher resolution, 60 FPS and the implementation of ray tracing.

    I really had high hopes but was left sorely disappointed with:

    - Graphics. It looks dated. The character and monster models were much better in the games released a few years prior, same goes for the quality of the invironments.
    - Character animation. Pretty much any tripple A game has a better one.
    - Story and voice acting make me cringe. Just look at Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us 2, and many others for comparison.

    This was enough to break all immersion for me. I would keep playing if I found the gameplay enjoyable but I found controls to be unintuitive and convoluted.

    Usually, when a game has a high metacritic user score I tend to find it enjoyable. Not with this one. In fact, I'm puzzled as to why it has such a high user score. I'm glad I got it on sale.

I havent experienced so many bugs yet in any other game and this game is here for 3 years lol. Ai is laughably retarded, graphics are decent but some textures look horrible. This was worst dissapointment of my life. 1 point for free nextgen upgrade. Full Review »

    Great updated graphics. Ray tracing and 60fps clearly made this game awesome.
