    A joke of a game compared to the previous ones. Semi-open world takes you by the hand whenever it wants to force you down a path. POP-in and framerate drop are ridiculous. Go back and replay Metro Last Light and you will have more fun.

    - Freezes about 7 times in 6 Hours
    - Gamma is totally broken (black crush)
    - No 1080p60 Performance Mode
    - A lot, and i mean a lot of game breaking bugs
    - No workarounds and still no acknowledgement by the Dev's
    - And still no patch that at least fix the freezes
    - Only one character save slot, starting a new game overwrites the other
    - Bugged auto save system that overwrites each other and get corrupted easily
    - Sluggish Controls with huge Input Delays
    - Bugged AI (all seeing, all knowing AI Syndrome)

    The game is literally unplayable on the Xbox One X alone because of the freezes occurring almost every hour and the abysmal gamma black crush, but on top there are also a lot game breaking bug which frequently corrupts the only save available and needs restarting a new game.

    I won't continue playing without a patch that at least fixes the freezes and the game breaking bugs. But the gamma black crush also needs to be addressed because it's no joy playing like this on the Xbox One X.

    And I won't change the score if there's no patch asap!    … Expand

    This has to be a joke. Guys, I can't even aim, the sensitivity settings are really awful and because of that the gameplay is cumbersome. I do not know if the game is good on pc platform but I know that you should not buy this game if you are gonna play on a console.

Whoever wanted to take control of debeloping this game totally killed the series. Shoulda guessed it when the name of the series has zero meaning anymore. Trash game unbelievably disappointing. Plus its not even a well made freeroam. Clunky controls (what happened since the last two games those had great aiming and movement). Pathetic dialogue it’s so predicated compared to the last two games. “We need to get help Artyom you go find what we’re all looking for, I’m going to just stand frozen until you return with the item” I GET IT it’s a fetch mission. I hate fetch missions. Get it yourself. Lazy lazy lazy boring boring boring. Oh look a side quest where you kill bandits that patrol 5 feet of space and say irrelevant things until you kill them so you can get your bullets back and new supplies to resupply the rations you spent clearing it. POINTLESS. The two things the metro series was great at was dark crazy metro systems and having linear gameplay! The developers scrapped both those things as did the opposite! Insane and ludicrous. I HATE FREE ROAMS. They offer zero content. The whole game is like an irrelevant Easter egg. Oh look a house with loot. I can take the loot or not. Irrelevant! Oh look I’m being everyone’s fetch boy and I’ll break my neck while they all stand around doing nothing so I can progress and do this on repeat. OR I can be playing a carefully constructed smooth flowing interesting dynamic linear story driven game with actual Easter eggs that make you smile and aren’t just a giant grind-fest. -10/10 score… Expand

    A lame excuse for a game. Monsters are lame. They look like a bad version of I am legend zombies. All out of bullets? No problem!

Otherwise just go through them with no problem and even outrun them. They won't catch up. Bugs are nasty but it seems that the devs don't care about them. You get stuck and the game reloads making you lose 3-4 hours of gameplay. Press the map button and ir appears after a few seconds. Map is crap. You have an X that you need to reach but no in building map so good luck finding your goal. You can easily kill any man in the game just by sneaking up on them. When I first played metro I was very frightened but exodus is just a joke. Don't waste more than 15$ on this game. Anything over this price would be a rip-off. I can say that I won't play this until a patch that fixes the bugs is released. Also if you are left without bullets you have no knife to use against your enemies. You have one in cinematics but I did not find one in my inventory to kill my foes. Overall the game just got me mad and makes me consider the option of uninstalling it.… Expand

    Pretty boring world, older graphics like in Metro LL or Metro 2033 Redux, but FPS is so low and it even freezes sometimes. The main plot is ok, but it's on rails.

    A real dissapointment there is no 60fps mode on X1X. The push for 4K30 was a horrible idea. It feels like a slideshow. 30fps in a shooter is downright unplayable.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled, changed the gamma settings, changed the resolution, deleted my save game data, downloaded the game pass version and nothing has stopped the crashes.

    I am now in the process of downloading the game pass PC version just so that I can complete the game and forget about it forever, assuming it works on PC, however that means I can't play the DLC that I've already paid for in my initial purchase.

    Absolutely shocking that this game was allowed to be released in such a broken state and it's unforgivable that it's still broken.

    I won't be buying another game by either the game maker or producer again.    … Expand

    Quel dommage ! voici un jeu qui avait mis de l’eau dans sa vodka en proposant par exemple deux nouveaux niveaux de difficulté (« récit » et facile) et un mode accessible pour ses QTE (de merde évidemment) puisqu’on peut les paramétrer pour n’avoir à appuyer sur X… qu’une seule fois ! Après les deux précédents Métro qui ne pardonnaient rien ou si peu, voilà qui change agréablement la donne.Quel dommage ! voici un jeu qui avait mis de l’eau dans sa vodka en proposant par exemple deux nouveaux niveaux de difficulté (« récit » et facile) et un mode accessible pour ses QTE (de merde évidemment) puisqu’on peut les paramétrer pour n’avoir à appuyer sur X… qu’une seule fois ! Après les deux précédents Métro qui ne pardonnaient rien ou si peu, voilà qui change agréablement la donne.

    A dire vrai, maintenant qu’on sort à la surface et qu’on explore quelques niveaux bien plus grands, on pourrait même croire à une sorte de monde ouvert mais ce n’est pas vraiment le cas : il s’agit toujours d’un couloir en fait mais de dimensions parfois bien plus généreuses… Et ce Métro demeure hélas fidèle à lui-même et reste sans conteste le FPS le plus scripté qu’on ait jamais vu (avec les Call of Duty bien entendu).

    Mais j’en viens à mon ours, à ce gros bâtard mutant plus scripté que la dernière télénovéla à la mode. Il résiste aux balles, aux grenades, au feu… il résiste à tout. cet enculé. On ne peut pas le tuer donc… non, n’insistez pas, il est immortel ! Surtout qu’il revient nous faire chier et que ça commence à bien faire : l’ours muté serait-il le nouveau héros du jeu en fait, c’est ça ?… Mais si le script a spécifié « invulnérable » ou bien « le joueur doit actionner un truc caché -dans son cul- quelque part », je me demande bien comment ça se passe. Et si je me le demande, c’est que c’est mal fait. Ou buggué. Ou les deux à la fois, mon capitaine.

    Déjà que j’ai tourné en rond dans la taïga parce que j’avais raté une saloperie d’échelle (eh oui, le chemin unique de ces putains de jeux linéaires) alors là ça me gonfle sérieusement. Donc, tout est encore plus gâché par cet ours de merde ! Tout à fait incompréhensible puisque par ailleurs en facile, et sur tout le reste du jeu, y compris jusqu’à la fin, Exodus reste plutôt « facile » !…

    Obligé donc de faire une recherche sur cet ours de merde et rapidement, je constate que je ne suis pas le seul… à être bloqué. Il s’agit encore d’un problème de script ! en bref et pour faire court, restez toujours près de la roue dentée, balancez-lui tous les cocktails Molotov que vous avez et… attendez qu’il vous fonce dessus. Soit vous crèverez encore une fois, soit le fameux script se déclenchera…!

    Dommage évidemment, car le jeu est très beau en 4K même s’il met 1,45 mn à se lancer (sur la One X)… je connais des mondes ouverts qui mettent presque 3 fois moins de temps : ça doit être tous ces scripts qu’il faut charger… Sans compter que j’ai eu tout de même 4 plantages en quelques heures…! et que notre héros donne trop souvent l’impression de se déplacer comme un petit vieux (un défaut absent des précédents Metro). Et qu’il faut presque une seconde (!) pour afficher les interfaces d’armes ou d’équipement en surimpression…

    Cela étant, le jeu est devenu un peu plus réactif avec la mise-à-jour X|S… et aussi sensiblement plus beau (avec raie traçante à la mode mais on s’en fout) et surtout, il tourne comme un charme à 60 im/s ! et les temps de chargement sont devenus infiniment plus rapides, Dieu merci. Comme je le disais plus haut, Exodus reste le meilleur… ou du moins le plus accessible des Metro… mais cet ours a failli tuer le jeu entier ! obligé d’aller sur youtube afin de pouvoir continuer et finir le jeu, ce n’est pas vraiment acceptable. Quel dommage, car Exodus a des qualités d’ambiance, de combat, de tension (et même d’infiltration ici et là) indéniables !    … Expand

Completely scripted nonsensical sequences of a supposedly trippy walking simulator, without any player interaction, except the need to constantly craft air filters so you can survive this dive of the game's story into a realm of pure stupidity, i reached a point where checkpoints would find my stupid self-sacrificing character in a state without any air, air filters or any other resources to make them, it drags on and on, create a cinematic you miserable developers and let the players enjoy the rest of the game that you created, after this terrible last sequences i no longer have the will to return to previous checkpoints and torture myself through this neverending punishment...i would score the game a 9 if i hadn't experienced this freaking chapter, it seems that i won't even finish it...WHY ???
    RECENT EDIT: I finished it for what it's worth -not much- but having played other shooters in the meantime and returning to Metro Exodus for a NG+, i truly wonder how i managed to beat it on Ranger Hardcore the first time...I'm struggling with the controls...Struggling...Even Fallout 4 is a more enjoyable shooter experience than this. Constantly trying to adjust them, but nothing seems to work, the aiming speed and precision are just horrendous...I get the feeling that despite the positives i already mentioned, these guys cannot create a decent shooter experience to save their lives...Time to get rid of this annoying game...    … Expand

    So why do I hate this game so much? I love first person shooters, I love survival horror, I love open world exploration but yet I hated this game with unbridled passion. I am not a troll and do not trash things just for the sake of trashing them but I have to be honest.

    Let's start by saying the game looks great and that's pretty much the only positive thing I have to say.

    From the title screen it takes me no less than an average of 7 minutes staring at a loading screen to get into the game, this is unacceptable and frankly insulting. The main character movements are sluggish and slow, ya know in other similar games when your character is carrying too much equipment and is sluggish? Well this game you feel like that all the time. The game also pretty much forces you down a linear path despite having open world areas.....and to be honest I didn't wanna explore because it takes your character so long to walk anywhere.....or row by boat.

    The game also feels like it starts you out in another games hardcore mode where you have to pillage for scraps and get killed by a few shots which is fine if you choose to play that way but I prefer a more casual experience for my first time and if I choose a second playthru then I can choose that style.

    Anyway I don't really know what else to say I just had a lousy time with this game, I tried to like I really did but uninstalled it after the 2nd mission.    … Expand

    Metro Exodus may not be perfect; certain graphical inconsistencies, bugs and a flawed AI make sure of that. But a bleak post-apocalyptic world, along with a cast of memorable characters who populate it, lead to a definitive Metro experience.
