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

    - 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.    … Expand

    очень слабо.

    картонные персонажи, которые пытаются в драматизм с напыщенным видом, но благодаря театральной речевке и сломанной анимации не вызывают ничего кроме ухмылки. стрельба просто издевательство. оружие, ИИ, движения, все в этом шутере на 3 с минусом. радует только графика и то местами странные баги по типу застревания в текстурах. сильно пожалел о покупке, ладно хоть по скидке    очень слабо.

    I was so excited to replay Metro exodus on ps5 but this must be joke. Actually it feels like im playing some kind of beta version. 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.

    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.

    Metro Exodus is a fitting end to this saga. 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.

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

    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

    ‘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

    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

    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.
