    Graphics, the graphics are excellent on my Xbox one x, the lighting, textures and animations are fantastic, they all lend to a cinematic experience and overall are what the industry standard is currently at in 2019.

    Sound and controls, the sound is this game allows a solemn atmosphere, with its minimalist style that sits perfectly in the background throughout the game, this add the feeling of tension and dread, gun shots and animal screams are also very punchy and satisfying. The controls well, they are mostly great on the xbox game pad, the only major issue is the aiming, i did find the shooting sometimes a little frustrating when trying to shoot enemies that where at a distance, but that could just be me.

    Story; this is where the metro series shines brightest, i was hooked by the story, its well written and voice acted with its returning characters that have also been developed from the previous games. The only problem i have encountered is fairly persistent crashes. this was the only issue that reoccurred around 4 times through my initial play through, this i'm sure will be patched soon though.

    overall if you are a fan of the previous 2 games or you have a post apocalyptic itch that needs scratching its worth a buy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plots of the first two Metro games concern one particular species of monster: The Dark Ones. Unfortunately, this plot element has been dropped in Exodus. In the new game, Artyom and his wife discover that there are still survivors outside of Moscow, which had previously gone unnoticed. Artyom and his friends are then more or less forced to settle somewhere else, far away from Moscow. Because the plot is almost completely disconnected from the first two games, you don’t need to play them before playing Exodus.

    What bothers me the most about Exodus’ narrative is its opening chapters. There is usually only one path forward, and that path conveniently leads to the location Artyom was looking for, even if he doesn’t know where that is. For the remainder, the story is simple to follow and very enjoyable. In addition to the overarching story of moving someplace else, each chapter also serves as its own mini-story, with a satisfying build up and conclusion.

    Most important characters are introduced for the first time in this game as Artyom’s close friends. These will seem to have come out of nowhere if you’ve been following Artyom’s storyline, but that shouldn’t be a problem otherwise. Characters have long, in-depth conversations as you’re traveling from location to location, and about half undergo some kind of character development. Every character in the crew feels alive, like they're living their own story. Considering how large Artyom’s crew is, that’s impressive.

    The inclusion of three open world levels is the thing I was most worried about. As it turns out, I was right to be worried. The open world levels kill the unique atmosphere that the other Metro games had. Monsters are no longer scary, because you can see them coming from tens of meters away. The feeling of claustrophobia is no more. In the older Metro games, downtime only occurred in the metro stations where humans lived. Here it occurs too often as you can safely cover large distances in a vehicle. This makes the open world sections feel boring and uneventful. Fortunately boredom is not a problem in the last open world, due to its slightly better design. Apart from the three open world levels, the level design stays true to the series’ roots. The game is full of tunnel-crawling fun.

    The final problem that I had with the game was probably the biggest. Previous Metro games offered a good and a bad ending. This was based on the things you’d explored. For instance, listening to voices from the past in a certain level would get you closer to the good ending. Exodus still has two endings, but here it is based on whether you spared enemies in the open worlds’ story missions. This change is a real shame in my opinion, because it eliminates the incentive to explore; something that the open world levels are lacking in.

    Ending on a positive note, I have to praise the aesthetics of the game. Some of the music tracks from the game (e.g. Exodus and Premonition) are amazing to listen to even if you decide not to play the game. The game looks absolutely stunning, with its varied environments, amazing lighting and realistic gas mask and gun wear. There’s also a photo mode to take full advantage of it, which shows that the developers had full confidence in this part of the game holding up.

    All in all, I think this game is definitely not as good as Metro 2033 or Metro: Last Light due to missteps in innovation. However, Exodus is still a worthy play if you’re a fan of the Metro series, story-heavy first person shooters, or subtle horror. I’d recommend picking this game up in a sale or when its price drops.    … Expand

The linear gameplay style of this game’s predecessors suited them perfectly, allowing you to take in the great story as well as the enjoyable combat and environments. Metro Exodus however feels like a bad mix between the previous games and an attempt at an open world. The main issue with this, is that the open world feels really lacklustre at times, with the game developers opting for multiple small open world areas, instead of one large Bethesda style map.

    The first playthrough however is very enjoyable, and fans of the series will enjoy the return of many characters that they haven't interacted with in years. Metro Exodus also expands on the first two games 'karma' system, effecting many scenarios throughout the game, as well as the way in which people interact with you, instead of just effecting the games ending. The games story is actually pretty solid, which keeps you invested in many of the characters. While trying to stay vague about the details, Metro Exodus involves the crew moving from these areas via the ‘aurora’, a large rail freight transport train, this however feels underutilised at times, with the player having no involvement in choices involving the train or its crew.

    It should be noted that any subsequent playthroughs for the achievement hunters or anyone wanting to experience alternate endings will begin to become frustrating, with how often the game makes you watch long, un skippable and sometimes boring cutscenes or set pieces, with only the starting cutscene being skippable. This begins to kill the games pace, and drags it out much longer than it really is. As well as some of the chapters feeling overly slow, such as the 'Dead City' level. This becomes even more frustrating with the often ridicules loading scenes, especially when loading the game up from the main menu.

    Movement can also sometimes feel clunky and slow, especially when trying to stealth your way through a bandit camp. A big positive however is how good the guns actually feel, unlike some games where the guns feel weak and fake, these feel powerful and real. The weapon customization is as good as you could ask for, however they seem to have failed at bringing in any new unique weapons, and a lot of the weapon customizations are reused from previous instalments. I feel a few more new weapons wouldn't have gone a miss.

    Summary: Any fan of the series should pick this game up and experience very possibly the last Metro game, however anyone who isn't familiar with the series should probably give it a miss, or wait for a sale to bring the price down.

The books are, well... boring and Artyum is kind of a useless character however with that in mind the games made him great and made me invested in his relationship with his wife. I felt that this one was a little rushed and that the expectations for the good ending are a little ridiculous but overall i loved it.

    Beautiful looking game world with a level of detail that rivals some of the best-looking AAA games on the market right now. 4AGames succeeds in pulling you into their post-apocalyptic setting which truly makes you feel like you’re looking at the world through the main character, Artyoms, eyes. Like the previous two installments, cut-scenes are presented in an in-game fashion which only further adds to the immersion.

    Controls

    The controls aid in making you feel like you’re really behind the gas mask. As you progress through this dystopian future you’ll need keep an eye on how much time you have left on your filters, how damaged your gas mask is, and if you need to recharge your flashlight. These can all be adjusted quickly and easily through a very intuitive controller layout. The game moves at a slow pace, but that’s to its benefit because you’ll find yourself so caught up in the world that you’ll want to explore every section of the map to make sure you’ve scavenged as many supplies as possible to give you a better shot at surviving your next encounter.

    Story

    The story is the best that has been offered in a Metro game to date. Leaving the familiar setting of Moscow and its Metro for the first time, Artyom and company begin a year-long exodus in search of a place above the surface to call home. During their travels, they’ll encounter other inhabitants throughout Russia and learn how they’ve managed to survive for the past 20 years in world torn apart by nuclear war. A major improvement over the last two games in the Metro franchise are the friendships that develop between yourself and your companions during your time on the Aurora. You really get the sense that the characters genuinely care about each other and as the story unfolds you will be given the opportunity to get to know certain members of your group more personally as they each face their individual destinies. Your actions throughout the game have a real impact on how the story resolves itself and is based on your personal play style and how you approach different encounters. This also adds tremendous replay value as the story has the potential to unravel differently on a second play-through.

    Gameplay

    The game is presented as a semi-open world experience. It allows you to explore the world at your own pace while still directing you in a way to tell the story it wants to tell. Each season is represented throughout the course of the game and while some settings are more linear than others, the mixture of the different environments really help to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. All existing gameplay mechanics have been greatly improved upon and new ones have been introduced that just add to the richness of the experience. The addition of the workbench adds a new level of depth to the Metro franchise as you can use resources found in the world to craft supplies that best fit your individual play style. For example, a stealthy player may choose to utilize their resources to craft more throwing knives and cans for distracting enemies, while a more confrontational player may decide to focus their efforts on ammunition and health packs. The back pack is a fantastic compliment to the workbench as it is best suited to aid the player as they approach specific scenarios. If you’ve taken a ton of damage, but don’t have any health packs on you, being able to craft on-the-go will be essential to extending your survival in this world. Weapon and gear customization have received an over haul this time around and you’ll be able to craft weapon upgrades that best assist the different situations that arise. If you’re approaching an enemy encampment at night, for instance, you can easily swap the scope on your sniper rifle from a 6x zoom to a night vision scope to give yourself the upper hand and avoid having to use your flashlight or lighter which would risk giving away your position. The game features a day and night cycle that greatly impacts the enemies you’ll encounter. For instance, more monsters come out at night, but enemy bases feature more security during the day. The game leaves it in the hands of the player to determine which approach they’d like to take when trying to accomplish objectives. These transitions can be activated at any time through safe houses that are scattered throughout the open world areas of the game. Utilizing these safe houses also give you the ability to manually save your progress as you will be given a checkpoint anytime you cycle the time of day.

    Bugs
    Load time when starting up the game after you’ve closed it out completely are some of the longest in games this generation.
    There are freezing issues that occur randomly which can be frustrating if you’ve cleared a difficult section with no checkpoint.
    Repetitive dialogue in certain areas for throw away NPCs can create an echo chamber where you hear the same line over and over.    … Expand

In terms of narrative, the game is a step up from the previous ones, with a genuinely engaging story built around solid characters that appear to share meaningful relationships. The gritty survival elements and concern for supplies maintain engagement at even the simplest of moments. The variety in locations, and expansive level design display the ambition of its developers.

    The developers ambition also results in some problems however. The open world level design is a contradiction to the game's best moment, which in my opinion, are found in its more linear section. The game is a far more immersive and tense in these sections. In the end, the game is plagued by bugs, and at times, awkward gameplay moments that ruin the otherwise immersive experience because of the expansive level designs. Also, the choice to have a silent protagonist who also acts as the narrative is still strange to me.

    There are some genuinely memorable moments, and i almost want to play through again, but in the end, the game offers frustration as much as it offers satisfying gameplay. Good game, but not quite what i had hoped.    … Expand

    First the good: the games narrative is still very good. While it losses a little focus in the open world segments, its still very well done. The combat is also very good and the weapons are very fun to use. Their look and feel is so haphazardly done, which fits the overall feel to the world. They've always done a very good job at making you feel invested in the world. This game also does give the player a good sense of what happened to the world after the end of the war, as opposed to it just being set in the original Metro itself.
    However, there are some major problems with this game and the first of which is the horrific game crashing bugs that followed me everywhere I went. My game crashed at least 8 times throughout my first playthrough, and once I feel into an infinite looping bug that made me have to restart one of the extremely long open-world levels from the beginning. The load times are absolutely awful too. Loading into one of the open-world levels took me almost 5 minutes each time it happened and I was playing on a One X. It's frankly inexcusable because the game crashed so much I was loading levels quite a bit and it was so frustrating to know that everytime I turned the game on, I might as well went to make some food because it was going to take so long to load into the game.
    Technical issues aside, the open-world stuff makes no sense for this series and for the narrative it was trying to tell. The open world stuff itself was not done very well at all. It felt extremely linear in where it wanted you to go at all times. It never really gave you the motivation to just go off and explore because the enemies are notoriously difficult to deal with and supplies are very hard to come by and the side quests were very few and far between. It felt necessary to complete all the side quests, and you have too to get the "good" ending, but there really wasn't enough to justify the size of some of the maps when you don't have to visit the majority of the places on it. The game is truly at its best when the in-between chapters happen that were very reminiscent of the first two games.
    Metro Exodus is easily the worst game in the Metro franchise so far. The strong narrative and storyline takes a major hit when having to deal with this open-world stuff that it was clearly not designed around in the first place. That's not even considering the MASSIVE bugs that plague the game right now. The story was designed to go back and play through it again after you beat it, but my motivation to play such a bug ridden game again is almost null at this point. Without the bugs, I'd have given this game a solid 7. With the bugs that make it almost unplayable, I would tell everyone to stay far away from this until its fixed. You just never know when the game will decide to stop working on you completely.    … Expand

    One of the best games this generation, it's atmosphere is as good as red dead redemption 2 and the horror is as good as resident evil. One of the best survival horror's ever made. It's still metro even with the open world. This is a must play game.

    There’s a wide array of mechanics in play at the same time and each one has been done well and brings something different to the table in your time with the game. I was waiting for Metro Exodus as I didn't spend the time with the 1st two offerings on the Xbox One. I may go back to play the previous offerings as I've heard how good they are and thankfully Metro Exodus seems to follow suit.There’s a wide array of mechanics in play at the same time and each one has been done well and brings something different to the table in your time with the game.

I may go back to play the previous offerings as I've heard how good they are and thankfully Metro Exodus seems to follow suit. It’s a fantastic game from an unfamiliar franchise to me, the atmosphere is stunning, thanks to its visuals and sound design work. The design combined with a very good story, the interesting character’s definitely gave the story extra punch. In regards to the gameplay, each mechanic plays an important part and I was especially impressed with the stealth elements because they had a touch of realism to them thanks to the day and night clock. The gunplay is solid although not as good as the stealth sequences because they didn’t always deliver the same impact, but I was easily able to look past this. Did I say there's a fantastic world in which the game takes place in, yeah just so you don't forget while traversing around it always felt rewarding.. The attention to detail meant the immersion level remained high at all times. So in the end Metro Exodus was well worth the wait for me because it has took everything I heard about the series delivered in more ways than I had heard. Fans and new comers of the series will enjoy this game and it definitely gets a huge thumbs up from me as a new comer to the franchise.… Expand

    This is my first metro game i i love it! it has good combat. huge giant worlds, a scary atmosphere, cool looking and feeling guns, and incredible graphics. especially since they are not as big as EA or Ubisoft. the only problem that i have is that the aiming feels kind of slow. it would be really nice if they added a 60fps performance mode and higher sensitivity graphics. and last.

    Loved this game. I have played all the others. really like the open world feel and the exploration. Like the other games, this is NOT a "run and gun" shooter. It was never meant to be. Its exploration / stealth / survival. Very well done!

    By far, the best Metro in the series. First off, the game is gorgeous. The detail in the world and use of shadows is bar none. I like the new open world and the encouragement to explore. Sometimes knowing what to do or finding a lever can be frustrating, but overall its a great single player shooter in a sea of multiplayer me-too games.

    A brilliant expansion of the Metro saga, Exodus connects sections of familiar claustrophobic, immersive horror with a beautiful semi-open world and a new twist on the fantastic and oppressive retro future vibe.

    A traditional but beautifully crafted, memorable shooter with loads of personality. [Issue#225, p.78]

    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.
