Metro Exodus

10 times better copy of the fallout games

(still havent rescued Anna)
10 out of 10

Not worth the effort, changing video settings causes a crash every time. I'd be willing to put up with fixing and work arounds this if it were new.

Its a great game, particularly if you're a fan of the books, the other games, or want something sort of like half-life meets fallout. I like the game and would recommend it.

The "open world" is not as "open world" as i would have hoped, its still reasonably linear like the earlier games but there is more freedom to explore. Runs better in DX11 than DX12 for me, and some places had random crashes if raytracing was on.

i will say i wish there was a way to speed up conversations, as much background NPC chatter that adds to the story and depth CONSIDERABLY is *painfully* slow. Much like earlier games, but worse in some ways, the scenes where the main story is progressing, I dont think I've ever wished for a "speed up dialogue" option more. In order to get the "good ending", the requirements on killing/weapon use and lack of non-lethal ranged weapon is just irritating in the strictness of the demands. I don't want to have to stealth basically every human encounter, sometimes i just want to have some fun firefights or sneaky sniping! the difficulty in finding certain weapon parts, but only being able to store one of them in your bag (e.g. if you want to switch to another weapon even temporarily, or just play around with different combinations) is frustrating.

All that aside, some of which can be ignored if you're happy to not get the good ending, the game is great and the story (both in game and the original books) is fantastic. Is it perfect? no. but is it fun regardless and worth playing? yes.

Some weird gameplay sometimes and the game crashes unless you turn on vsync, but story was really good except some dumb choices/events that happened only because the story needed it to

One of the best post apocaliptic games out there. Hope they get another one out soon. The metro series is one of a kind and there is nothing that comes close to it!

For a "Metro" game is not good.
It a departure from what made all other previous games special.
This could had been called any other name, as it has little connection to the original games.
Some of the sections of the game crawl and drag, for the last level I just pushed to see the conclusion to the story, but honestly I found it tedious, boring and frustrating.
Game is mediocre.

It's a pretty good game some of the stuff is weird but if you are gonna get it wait for it to go on discount

2019 game of the year. we bought it for epic games, first bootup and install took so long it beat out installing cinematic mod and we joked about it taking years. computer at the time could barely handle the graphics, crashed after we entered the exterior stealth scene in moscow for the first time (that was a different comp though, i later tried it on this one, and it beat the "snow test"). now it's 2025 and i have a rtx 3050. (to be fair, this game was one of the reasons i had to upgrade, it practically burned out the old radeon on lowest.) graphics aside, this game is cool.

Very cool game. The story line is amazing, and really catching. Might be even one of the best story lines since the Fallout series.

Definitely worth the money, you will not regret it. At least, if you like a good and touching story in a game.

However, once completed the whole story, there isn't, in my opinion, not much to do anymore. Now it just sits in my library, probably waiting to be played in a couple of years again, from the start. Would love it either way, again.

Story i recomend. but mechanics and graphick is not so shiny but full of bugs. It need more resources but you don"t get nothing in the return!

Definitely the best Metro game so far (not played VR)

Great world
Great story
Great combat
Good performance (even in 1440p)

Just a must play for single player gamers

9/10

when i saw this game on sale for 2,99, i thought about buying it, but i was too late to buy it, and had to wait another month until it was on sale again. this time it went to 7,49, and i dont know why, but something told me to buy this game no matter what, and now im here, speechless over what i just experienced. it's an absolute gem that deserved whatever recognition it needed, its replayable, fun, immersive and beautiful. words can't describe the game but feelings can, i highly recommend buying this while it still exist, don't miss out, and don't let Artyom DIE.

this game is the most greatest and challenging and most dramatic game like i can feel it and i wish theres more like this or at least a new game update like metro exodus 2 this game is so beautiful.

the best game I've ever played so far. I like the gameplay, voiceovering, great cinematic pictures, the plot, the locations - everything is on a highest level. Tough decisions during tough times is not a joke, better to avoid both - situations and decisions.

Literally one of the best games i have ever play, i enjoyed every moment of this game.
The story was beautiful, my favourite part is that lots of characters have extra dialogue if you hang around and talk to them
10/10 👍

This game was awesome.

The only complaint I have is the desert level crashes a lot on Linux, to the point of basically being unplayable (Frequent crashes are a hit or miss. You either crash in the first 5 minutes for in 2 hours. No in between).

Love the whole Metro series for the awesome story telling and the Linux work. Great work 4A!

awesome story . awesome graphic . awesome gameplay .
Maybe if you don't have a good system you will face FPS drops. But overall this is a great game. I suggest you get the bundle of this franchise in the discounts and enjoy this franchise.

A rare gem and instant classic for me

I put off buying this for almost a whole year because I read reviews in which people complained about bugs and performance, but when it was recently on deep discount, I decided to just give it a try.
Before this, i had only really played FPS games like Destiny, Overwatch and Warzone etc, so it took me an hour or two before i stopped running in with guns blazing and repeatedly dying, but once i adjusted my expectations of what this game was and slowed down, i started to have an amazing time.

The characters are relatable, and the stories are interesting, unlike 90% of todays characters, who are obnoxious, sarcastic, or boring. Where in previous games im spamming the skip button on cutscenes, here i am quietly watching and listening.

The gun-play feels great, the guns are reasonably varied, although swapping out weapon mods never really felt like it made much of a change. The puzzles and objectives are easy to pick up on and solve without having to use google.
The whole game is subtly designed to guide you, often without your realising it.
The attention to detail was also noticed, putting many other more recent games to shame.

Highly recommend.

So, I think it's time to review this awesome game.

I bought Metro Exodus a LONG time ago but never really played it... Man, what a fool I was.

What a great game! I think it didn’t receive the proper recognition it deserves.
It's a beautiful game, with really enjoyable gameplay, nice mechanics, and great lore.

And in my personal opinion? It’s a GREAT ray-tracing game. The same way Cyberpunk is such a beautiful and bright game, Metro has those really dark vibes with amazing ray-traced shadows.

My only complaint, though? The Enhanced Edition doesn’t have cloud-based saves, even though the base version does.

Either way, it's a great game!

I was looking for a single-player FPS and ended up with a masterpiece!

I really enjoyed the first half of the game. There are some linear pieces, but for the most part it was pretty much open-world areas that you move between, which was perfect. However, the game becomes very linear in the second half. If you don't mind that, you'll probably enjoy the whole game. If you wanted a full open-world experience for the majority of the game, you'll be disappointed. Also, there is a morality system in the game. That's not a problem overall, a lot of games do it, but that's exactly why I'm tired of it. Just go out and have fun, and you may end up with a worse outcome. Go out and be a morally upstanding, conscientious citizen, just like you're already obligated to in real life, and hope you did it the right way to get rewarded. I'm genuinely very tired of it. If you're going to let players choose to be evil or good in a video game, let either route lead to satisfying rewards; don't punish people for wanting to have fun playing the bad guy, or even just an impulsive guy, in a video game.

The new sandbox concept for a Metro game worked well and the game is really fun.
Story is good, combat has new quality of life updates. Def recommend

Beautiful game, amazing atmosphere, and doesn't make your computer crawl to a halt. In a time where most games will bring my computer to its knees, this game really sticks out as a gem. I'm running a GTX 1660 SUPER, a not so impressive GPU, but regardless of my GPU's age, this game runs like gold, and looks absolutely stunning. No need for RTX or Pathtracing.
I'm assuming the Engine was developed in-house for the game, which is its reason for unparalleled performance.
This is what all games aiming for stunning visuals, should do, not go for the power hungry shit box bloated engine called Unreal, go for something made for your product, made to do what it should do without some shitty overhead.

Overall, beautiful game, beautiful performance, and well worth the price during sales

Is the combat top tier? No, don't expect this game to have Call of Duty level of FPS gameplay, the hitboxes can be inconsistent and enemy AI isn’t the sharpest out there. But apart from all of that, this game is a truly underrated gem which has an outstanding level of immersion and atmosphere.

10/10 - would recommend this to anyone who needs a good story and needs to experience the post-apocalyptic World War III world.

LIVE FREE ARTYOM!

thankfully it's easier to archive good ending than last light.
graphics : 9/10
story: 10/10
controls: 7/10 which remapping holster key glitched.
system requirements: i have rtx 3050 4gb. pretty optimized except for taiga.

TL;DR: If you want a good story pick it up, if you want good game play consider buying it on sale

Metro Exodus is a game worthy of its very positive status. If your looking for a game with an incredible story its absolutely worth it. It starts to fall short in its gameplay however. The gameplay is at best servicible and at worst buggy; that especially shines through in its linear segments, and bosses which felt bland and unintuitive. The parts i enjoyed most were the stealth (despite being fairly linear), and its open world segments which i thought was where the gameplay was the most enjoyable.

Anyway 10/10 because monster penor

Though linear, the story, adventure, atmosphere and immersion were top notch.

Of it's predecessors, I'd say this one was their most polished and balanced.

I especially liked how they tied the whole story in while traveling on the train. This made it feel like I was on a journey of apocalyptic proportions.

It offers compeling action, great atmosphere, diverse world and good story.
The characters were interesting and well written, yet I did not appreciate the lenghty conversations and unskipable non-action interactions. The Russian accent in English dabing felt over the top and became obnoxious to me very soon.
Overall one of the best story-driven FPS I've played so far. Great job 4A Games!

Graphics are stunning. I have the game set to easy so fighting isnt too intense. story line is compelling. Maps are very cool. Great game

Story was fun to play, the graphics and map designing was also pretty good, though there were a bit confusing in finding the right path and the next move. Over all a solid experience.
Will play the two DLC's later

this games real fun to play. its like stalker but for normies and thats pretty cool. don't think I didn't forget about what you did with epic games though. don't fuckin pull that shit again you understand?

THE MOST IMMERSIVE GAME i have ever played.
no bs, it was amazing.
even though I'm running it on the lowest graphics due to limitations, I still feel the environment and atmosphere of the game.

also here's a summary of my stupid mistakes while playing the game:
-played the whole first 3/4 of the game without knowing where to see the objective
-figured out it was when u open map and left-click
-also figured out that I can CRAFT without a workbench using backpack AT THE END SECTION OF THE GAME.
-because of that i played the whole game without knowing I can craft a medkit.. Still went through it like a man, thinking "this is part of the immersive experience where resources are limited".

If you're still considering whether or not to play this, I say go for the ride of a lifetime. You wont regret it, I promise.
10/10

The best game you can play in terms of story and art.

The game is passable in terms of quality gameplay, the atmosphere already blew me away, I don't have much to say, I'm waiting for the sequel.

Realistic game, great story, so no dump FPS, well done.

Hands down one of the best immersive and open world experience I have ever had! The attention to detail in not just this game but all Metro games is unmatched. The graphics are some of the best, even with the enhanced edition, intuitive gameplay mechanics, great puzzles and challenges and a huge explorable map, all the things and open world game needs.

This is a rare, slept on classic. This is the only game I can finish consistently without getting bored. There aren't many games that do it as good as this anymore. 10/10

Metro Exodus isn't just a game. It is a... well.. To try to describe this game in one word would be impossible. To describe this game into one phrase would be to describe it as a cinematic masterpiece. This game possesses not only incredibly beautiful visuals, but also provides such an outstanding story that you get to experience, and a world where the actions you make actually have a significant effect on the outcome of Artyom's story. I strongly recommend this game for anyone who wants to experience a piece of media that not even the movies produced today can provide.

AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, the game is simply so well done in its immersion feeling, the NPC's have so much dialogue that i doubt you can hear it all without having to sit idle for hours untill their script is over, for real, principally the crew on the train.
HOWEVER, Artyom not speaking in-game, even in dire situations is...dissapointing, because he isnt mute, he does talk, but he only talks in the game's loading screens, so i really really dont see why he cant talk on the gameplay, im not talking full articles of speech, im saying stuff like "yeah", "sure", "are you ok?" normal things would add a lot.
Another grudge i have is the game can be very silly at times, both on purpose it seems and also on accident like story elements that you look at and think "no way, this guy cant be this dumb, he wasnt that dumb a little ago, why now he's being like that" and such, also steryotypical stuff and shallow critics of certain groups(such as bashing on religion at a general level sometimes).
Little gameplay misshaps, such as i did a whole mission on stealth and at one point some enemies almost saw me and then went "it must have been the wind" or such(i imagine that was the reason) and so i finished the mission, still on stealth, no alarms, but at the end one NPC said "good job, a shame we couldnt do it quietly", like...what?, some enemies are annoying and a little bullet-spongey(thats on purpose i think) which is the lowest complaint.

>Summary: SOLID game, as i said, amazing atmosphere, lots of dialogue(except from the main character '-') and beautiful game, still, has flaws gameplay-wise, theyre not game breaking however, just annoying at times, very atmospheric game that has tense sections and also very chill and just "sit back, relax and hear it" moments.

This game is visually stunning especially if you play the PC Enhanced edition. The story is something only explainable by experiencing it. The gun play is snappy and responsive paired with the sound design makes each weapon feel unique and punchy.

One minute you’re sneaking through a creepy tunnel, the next you’re getting drop kicked by a mutant in the snow ❄️💀. Every bullet counts, every shadow hides danger, and every choice makes you question life decisions. A stunning survival experience 10/10, would run out of ammo at the worst moment again. 🔫😂

• 3D Stil, realistisch
• auf Buch basierend
• rund 20 h Spielzeit
• hatte einige mitreißende emotionale Momente
• viele Erfolge
• interessante Charaktere
• viele Waffenupgrades
• viele unterschiedliche Monster

-

• sind immer noch einige Bugs vorhanden, z.B. manche Messer treffen Gegner nicht sondern fliegen durch sie hindurch
• der Name des Protagonisten wird gerade zum Einstieg des Spieles sehr häufig erwähnt, nach dem 10 Mal habe auch ich es dann verstanden, wie der Name des Protagonisten lautet
• Niemand sagt einem, dass moralische Entscheidungen in dem Spiel gewertet werden. NIEMAND O_O Woher soll ich den wissen das Stealth Missionen, die dann doch mit Einsatz meiner Waffe gelöst werden, dafür sorgt das ich ein schlechtes Ending bekomme?

Fazit

Spielerisch bietet Metro Exodus eine gelungene Mischung aus linearen Missionen und offenen Arealen, in denen Erkundung, Ressourcenmanagement und Stealth-Mechaniken eine große Rolle spielen. Die düstere, immersive Atmosphäre wird durch exzellente Grafik, dynamisches Wetter und einen gelungenen Tag-Nacht-Zyklus verstärkt.
Trotzdem ist nicht alles perfekt. Es gibt noch unzählige Bugs in dem Spiel und scheinbar werden auch moralische Entscheidungen gewertet, was vom Spiel selbst aber an keiner Stelle kommuniziert wird. Thankies. Ich habe mir dann das gute Ending auf Youtube angesehen.

• 3D style, realistic
• based on a book
• around 20 hours of gameplay
• had some gripping emotional moments
• many achievements
• interesting characters
• lots of weapon upgrades
• many different types of monsters

-
• there are still some bugs, e.g., some knives don’t hit enemies but just pass right through them.
• the protagonist's name is mentioned excessively at the beginning of the game – after the 10th time, even I got it.
• no one tells you that moral choices actually matter in the game. NO ONE. O_O How was I supposed to know that solving stealth missions with my weapon instead would lead to a bad ending?

Conclusion

From a gameplay perspective, Metro Exodus offers a well-balanced mix of linear missions and open-world areas, where exploration, resource management, and stealth mechanics play a significant role. The dark, immersive atmosphere is enhanced by excellent graphics, dynamic weather, and a well-executed day-night cycle.
However, it's not all perfect. The game still suffers from numerous bugs, and apparently, moral choices do matter—something the game itself never bothers to mention. Thankies. I ended up watching the good ending on YouTube.

great weapons, great story, great game

Fantastic story, gameplay and sound design. Incredible immersive and atmospheric. Graphics is also top notch. I enjoyed my time with this game a lot. There are a few bugs here and there that are annoying but it is not that bad. This game truly rewards you for exploring the world and there is small collectables that can be found troughout the game. There is also gear that you can find, for instance the first time you can find the night vision goggles it is completely optional.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone that is interested in a highly immersive game that has insane atmosphere and a great story. You will not regret it. Oh did I forget to tell you that they made a version that only uses ray tracing for lightning and you get it for free? I played the non-RT version but if you want to play it with it you got it. Note that the DLSS version of the normal version is very old and quite frankly horrible. It makes the game look very blury and If you cannot upgrade the version (I could not) then there is no point in using it.

Way more tedious than fun to play. Trivial story doesn't justify the torture

Easily the best metro game out there, i didnt think this game could top last light but it surely did. From its breathtaking scenery to the finale of the story this game is simply the best post apocalyptic world you could experience.

In general it's fine, but there is some minor disadvantages such as repeating of some missions like in Metro Last Light.

Great campaign with a dramatic and captivating story line. Did indeed tickle my pickle.

GREAT GAME. One of those games you do not mind playing over again. Enjoyed it and it has a good story line.
