    La historia es muy buena, los gráficos son espectaculares aunque faltaron expresiones faciales de los personajes al hablar. Recomendado jugarlo hasta el final.

    I seriously cannot understand the high rating of this game. Graphics are the only thing that is a bit good and this only in open environment otherwise we have bad voice acting, broken targeting system and mechanics. Many times bullets couldn't even hit the target. They just passed through textures. Unbelievable. Sniping was a tragedy. Headshots were impossible to hit and enemies animationsI seriously cannot understand the high rating of this game.

    Amazing and very immersive apocalyptic game! Graphics are really good. Story is great. Gameplay fantastic and music really nice. Just a little short is the only complain I have. If they added two more interesting levels it would be masterpiece for me because I really dig the genre of this game.

I was furious and abandoned the game for some months. Finally I decided to replay from the start on the new version. Then I reach the Caspian chapter and near the finish i get stuck on a game breaking bug that has not been fixed years after the release of the game. "The proposed solution" is to replay the chapter that I have already replayed and took hours to reach this point (with no guarantee that it won't happen again) or skip the chapter and loose all progression and trophies from then on.
    If I knew all this I would never bother playing this game. Also the game has only auto save so there is NO way to go back to a reasonable point and retry.
    To top everything off, the unlock chapters feature disables achievements on your save slot without a proper warning.

    Grafisch und Technisch nicht der Hit, wirkt doch alles sehr altbacken, macht das Spiel aber an sich Spaß und auch die Story geht in Ordnung, wenn auch nicht weltbewegend. Die (alten) schlauchigen Teile damals fand ich nach Erinnerung aber dann doch irgendwie besser. Kann man aber gut mal zocken.

    What an overrated game. The graphics look nice and ooooh shiny at times but are not consistent. The music soundtrack is forgettable. The character models look dated. The protagonist Artyom is silent the entire game. It does not help that it feels like he has the dexterity of a 2 year old. If you fall off a ledge a few feet he dies. I mean come on.

    The controls feel clunky, dated, and unintuitive. I constantly feel like my character is walking through mud. Running feels awkward and is assigned as a toggle function. What is this 1995? You constantly have to wipe your mask. Fun eh? The story is predictable.

    Oh there is a lot of talking in this game. The dialogue is excessive and downright annoying. This game does not look impressive on the PS5. The open world seems too big. Overall, Metro Exodus is one lackluster turd of a game. There are just too many other FPS games that do everything better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is such an underrated game. Sure, It’s far from perfect. But if you’re a fan of survival/horror and adventure games, then trust me you’re going to love this. It’s so immersive. It starts out okay, but by the end the story has you sunk in. The only downfall is that Arytom is a mute, snd the voice acting is shaky at best. The graphics are very good, especially the last 2-3 levels. My god those levels are suspenseful, creepy and gorgeous. The frame rate was never an issue, no matter what was going on in the game. I didn’t know early on aboht the consequences of killing people with their hands up, so I was left with arytom dying. It all felt sincere and original. The gunplay does take some getting used to, and the game is very hard. And it’s not a true open-world like the make it out to be. Other than that, this is a very good game for the ps5. It’s only $10 on Sony rn… Expand

И что это за рунглишь у Сэма? Акцент у него русский, а не американский. Сюжет... такая клюква. Как будто дешевый боевичок смотришь из 90х. Все это уже где-то видели.
    Перестрелки с людьми скучные, монстры, как враги, поинтереснее. Графика ок, но думаю на ПК с 2060 на борту будет лучше при тех же 60 фпс и 2к разрешении. Попадаются очень мыльные текстуры и баги с висящими в воздухе предметами. Из плюсов могу отметить работу геймдизайнеров, на уровнях можно встретить много предметов, знакомых каждому человеку в постсоветском пространстве.
    Звуки окружения и музыка понравились. В целом игр не зацепила, а очень хотелось зацепиться. Сталкер все части мне зашли, а с этой игрой не получилось любви. Брал по акции в ps store за 1400 руб., лучше б на диске купил, чтобы потом скинуть на Авито.

    Loved that most of the action took place above ground, but it still felt like a metro title, and ofc you still got to visit metro and other areas as well, sometimes feeling like an action shooter, other times as an fps horror game, keeping a perfect balance. Characters likeable, enjoyed every minute between missions just hanging around in the train. Not gonna spoil anything - if you are unsure if you want to play it or not, most definitely easy recommend. The previous episodes are recommended as well - I'd start from 1. You do feel the generation gap, and first 2 games are a lot more harder than the last one, but it's all worth it.    … Expand

The game looks and plays better in every way compared to its predecessors, looks great as a PS5 game, and opens up the world of Metro. You can probably find this title on sale for $10 or less on PSN, and you should definitely buy it and play it.

    This is no Call of Duty. You will not be mowing down hundreds of enemies as you approach your objective. The crux of this game is stealth and survival. The stealth component works very well. Enemies are not easily startled and playing smart often has rewards further in the game. The surival portion of the game is familiar to the first two Metro games if not a easier. You can pick up crafting items and make some of the things you need in the field or at strategically placed workbenches. The wastelands are littered with metal boxes full of crafting items. As a player, you can find what you need at the expensive of immersion.

    Metro Exodus is all about immersion. NPCs have lengthy conversations as you walk by. Stay and listen to their stories or leave and go back to shooting enemies. The immersion extends further into skeuomorphism. Metro Exodus harkens back to a more civilized time when maps looked like maps and gas masks go over the head. This use of real life objects slows down the game but that is part of the point. Metro games are not about blasting through to end. This is an experience.

    The story is top tier, one of the best that a AAA shooter can deliver. After Metro 2033, you find out that there is life outside the Metro. Now you get to see it. The plot is broken out into a journey, like an epic poem from the classical era. Each portion of the journey is a different map to explore. The game is not a true open world game, but also does not feel as confining as a corridor shooter. The level design guides the player to objectives, and the lethality of the fauna discourages straying too far off the path. Open world games often feel meandering and pointless. Good gameplay comes from good design.

    The shooting and fighting are a bit janky but overall feel appropriate for this world. Each gun has a different feel and unique post-apolocalyptic steam punk designs. Enemy a.i. could be better. In one portion, I am firing a sniper rifle at 6x mangification and the enemies still look like tiny dots. From their perspective, the protagonist might as well be invisible. Yet each of their weapons, no matter a pistol or submachine gun, can hit the protagonist with deadly accuracy. Other times an enemy will get stuck on the terrain or stuck in a climbing loop. Some of the enemies are simply cheap bosses covered in armor with infinite ammo. The saving grace is the surrender system. If you defeat enough enemies, the rest will hold their arms up and surrender. This is a nice break from the suicidal a.i. that run into your bullets.

    All in all, Metro Exodus is a top tier game. I am reluctant to call it a shooter. This game has so much more heart and soul than a Call of Duty. Metro Exodus is more of an adventure game that sometimes requires competent shooting skills. The game could use some polish like better enemy a.i., less obvious placement of crafting material, and better models for the giant, irradiated monsters. I am thankful, though, that this game was even created and. In a world of giant coporations buying out every game studio, we need companies that have the freedom to creat these kinds of games. Also, this game was made by a Ukrainian game studio. As I write this review, Ukraine is under seige by Russia and Russian leaders have threatened nuclear war if Western countries intervene. The anti-war message in this game will always be relevant. Please consider donating to relief efforts in Urkaine.    … Expand

    ‘Metro Exodus’ is not a ‘First Person Shooter’ (FPS) in the vein of ‘Doom Eternal’ or ‘Call of Duty’, it is about exploration and the discovery and conservation of resources (weapons, ammo and health items).
    There are many low-light areas which are gloomy and creepy but when out in the daylight the game is very pretty. Some of the levels are semi open-world (Forest) giving you the opportunity to skip areas or explore areas in an order of your own choosing, whilst some are linear (Metro tunnels).
    Game-play could be described as clunky when compared to a FPS like ‘Doom Eternal’ or ‘Call of Duty’ but is totally fine for the more slow-burn feel of this game.
    Due to the bleakness and hopelessness I experienced from the story, playing through this game felt like an ordeal. However I persevered in order get to the faint light at the end of the metaphorical tunnel in order to save myself and my friends and to see how the story ends for us.
    I don’t rush through games and completed Metro Exodus in 44 hours, there is enough in ‘Metro Exodus’ to tempt me back for another play through on New Game +.
    Summary: ‘Metro Exodus’ is a scary, apocalyptic, horror novel compared to the action film feel of ‘Doom Eternal’ or ‘Call of Duty’. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Metro Exodus' even though I'd describe it as gripping more than fun.    … Expand

    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.

    Metro Exodus: Complete Edition can cut both ways, and while it's appealing to some of the older fans of the series, it can't keep everybody happy. The extraordinary atmosphere and the great story however may be enough to give it a try.
