Following the events of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, the third instalment in the Metro video game series based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels, Metro Exodus, was met with critical acclaim when it released earlier this year. With its epic visiuals and moving story, Time magazine considered it one of the best games of 2019 so far.
Since the game’s release on 15 February 2019, it’s gone on to be nominated for numerous awards, including Best Action Game at Gamescom and Most Wanted Game at Golden Joystick Awards. In fact, our very own Daniel Rom scored it 82% in a review that summarises the game as a “fun and engaging experience”.
“Metro Exodus is the perfect survival experience for the next-gen. The game has all the ingredients to be the best game in the trilogy.” – Generación Xbox
“Metro Exodus stays true to the series’ roots while adding a very welcome open-world component a greater variety both in environments and gameplay, with a more intimate story than before. Having awesome graphics doesn’t hurt, either.” – MondoXbox
“The best post-apocalyptic survival game of the generation, that innovates in terms of both its varied gameplay mechanics and its incisive storytelling.” – Metro GameCentral

“While there is a plot driving things forward, there is no real single antagonist to face off against, except the world itself.”
“Speaking of the light and dark element, Artyom is not some impossibly powerful warrior god and will be shot and killed quite easily if you are not careful. “

This is why I love the Metro series.

The main setting in Metro Exodus is thereafter a series of small open-world areas, as your group travels on a train called the Aurora around Russia.

“The PS4 version is fine enough, it’s a great experience, but it is showing its age a little bit at this point.”

The gunplay feels weighty and powerful when you do shoot an enemy, and the guns and weapons you use do give a nice feeling of being old and almost worn out after 30 years of apocalypse later

The world is amazing to experience, even if the post-apocalyptic tropes are a little old fashioned, and it gives a distinct experience of realism like little else does in the FPS genre.

“I feel this game should be enjoyed as a companion piece to the previous two games, as the open-world thing does change a lot in regards to the feeling and story as you play through it, but both approaches have their merits,”
“it is gorgeous and looks amazing on a technical level”
“Artyom carries a light meter on his wristwatch that can be observed as a tool to manage this, and in many ways, Metro Exodus is a great game to play with the UI and HUD off and to just enjoy being in the world.”
Immersion is awesome, yet seems perfect for a game like this.

“However, what Metro Exodus does have going for it is that it is distinctly made by people who care a lot about what a good game should feel like to play and control.”
“…their latest release, Metro Exodus, is really the first time it feels like they’re playing in the same league as the big boys.”
” It has varying difficulty settings and options to tweak, but at its most intense gives a wonderfully hardcore experience, if you are into that sort of thing.”

They want blood they will get it we will cross it does not matter what those fanatics think
The Metro series has always done so of course, but their latest release, Metro Exodus, is really the first time it feels like they’re playing in the same league as the big boys

In a world that seems more and more likely to automatically connect the idea of FPS with the format of thoughtless multiplayer mode (thanks a lot, Battle Royale genre), it’s a breath of fresh air to see that some titles are continuing the proud tradition of story-driven, experience-rich, single-player FPS games.

Sounds like my type of game!

“The gunplay feels weighty and powerful when you do shoot an enemy, and the guns and weapons you use do give a nice feeling of being old and almost worn out after 30 years of apocalypse later.”
“In the previous games, ammo was also your currency, which was a nice feature. I kind of miss it here, but you don’t really have shops this time – instead, you scavenge and craft items from materials, using your fancy portable backpack crafting station.”
“I do like being able to swap out weapon mods on the fly, but at the same time, if you find too many resources, it can take away some of the survivalist challenges that the other games had.”
“I played this on PS4 and saw it played by a friend on PC, and I would recommend that you go for the PC version if you have a choice. “
“The PS4 version is fine enough, it’s a great experience, but it is showing its age a little bit at this point. “
“In my opinion, Metro Exodus definitely a good and fun game, which are indeed two different things, but it is best experienced for yourself, as words cannot get quite across what it means to be traversing this dangerous and destroyed world.”
” I feel this game should be enjoyed as a companion piece to the previous two games, as the open-world thing does change a lot in regards to the feeling and story as you play through it, but both approaches have their merits”
“it’s not an incident-free game, as I encountered a few bugs within the first couple hours of play that made me need to reload my game again.”
“What Metro Exodus succeeds at most though is the world itself and in giving you a certain feeling as you play through it. Firstly, it is gorgeous and looks amazing on a technical level. Secondly, a great effort is put into the realism of the challenges you are facing, and this presents itself visually too”
“Artyom is not some impossibly powerful warrior god and will be shot and killed quite easily if you are not careful. This, therefore, means there is a greater emphasis on sneaking and on positioning yourself around guards”
“The light and dark element comes in when you can wait until the night cycle starts, or you can also destroy or unscrew light bulbs as you sneak around an area to increase darkness. “
“Artyom carries a light meter on his wristwatch that can be observed as a tool to manage this, and in many ways, Metro Exodus is a great game to play with the UI and HUD off and to just enjoy being in the world.”
“It has varying difficulty settings and options to tweak, but at its most intense gives a wonderfully hardcore experience, if you are into that sort of thing.”
“While there is a plot driving things forward, there is no real single antagonist to face off against, except the world itself. This is good and bad, as it feels more organic and allows the focus to be on the cast, but at the same time it does mean that each area feels a little more self-contained”
“The story is not particularly deep or surprising, but it is handled well, and I did find the characters quite charming. They have varying levels of voice acting skill, and all speak in a kind of generic English but with Russian accent mode”
“Artyom is once again a silent protagonist, which may feel weird at times, but I think it suits this style of game.”
“The main setting in Metro Exodus is thereafter a series of small open-world areas, as your group travels on a train called the Aurora around Russia. The open world areas are distinct, being a snowy one, a desert one, and a forest-y one mainly”
“Your train serves as a hub, and you can engage in great characterisation moments with the NPCs in this space”
“Whenever you arrive in an area, you have a few objectives to complete and can travel around doing them in any order you wish, or otherwise explore and find optional extras along the way.”
“The tense nature of the tunnels from the previous games is diminished somewhat, with all the open space, but there are occasional areas you enter that invoke the same feelings of danger and claustrophobia once more.”
“The Metro series is based off novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky and are distinctly Russian in setting and tone. You play in a world following a nuclear war, where mankind has been confined to live in broken societies within the Moscow Metro train tunnels.”
“Once again you control Artyom, now married to Anna, as well as a supporting cast of his friends from Spartan Company.”
“Artyom is obsessed with discovering whether there is anything else out there to hope for in the nuclear wasteland, and as it turns out in the prologue, he was right.”
