Metro Exodus

It's just a shame your interaction with this brave new world largely consists of shooting at it. Metro Exodus is, in many ways, a pretty rote FPS attached to a setting that deserves much better. But when the Aurora's brakes screech as it pulls into the next station, the excitement of what lies ahead always makes up for its shortcomings.

Metro Exodus proves that after a six year break this franchise is just as relevant and enjoyable as ever. Stepping out into the surface removes the confined feeling of the previous entries as Artyom explores the world after uncovering the truth about the end of the war. This sense of freedom brings Metro Exodus closer to the feel of other first-person action RPGs, but it never strays too far away from the story-driven path.

While its transition to a semi-open-world structure may make for a radical change from what fans may expect from the series’ third installment, Metro Exodus expands on what has made the series so unique from anything else with a compelling mix of action, stealth, survival, and horror. Much like how the Aurora has brought Artyom and his companions to new, uncharted territories, Metro Exodus is bringing the series into a new direction that seems to have so many possibilities.

Metro Exodus takes the fear-inducing formula of the series and transplants it into expansive, sandbox-like levels without losing any of the oppressive tension that makes the Metro games memorable and distinctive among post-apocalyptic first-person shooters. It’s a frequently exhilarating and densely atmospheric journey across a Russian dystopia brimming with detail and deadly inhabitants, and well worth the trip for its consistently effective use of survival horror and hair-raising action.

While none of these ever stopped us from enjoying the game, it’s hard not to think about what Metro could be with just a little more polish. Exodus is, by far, the best game in the series and it’s clear that A4 has been chomping at the bit to show off what they can do in a variety of outdoor settings. Though it’s not without flaw, Metro Exodus will keep you thoroughly engaged as you play through the next chapter of Artyom’s journey. And this journey is one that we are more than happy to go on with him.

Every character is fully fleshed out, the stealth and survival mechanics are a delight for careful, completionist gamers, and the setting is as varied and detailed a post-apocalyptic playground as you’re going to find. A voice to go with Artyom’s soul would have been nice, as well as some AI tweaking, but the thoughtful additions and improvements from previous Metro games gives Exodus a fresh experience for anyone ready for a wild train ride.

While Metro Exodus may be far from perfect, it does provide an exceptional experience. Artyom’s trip to the outside world may have fallen short in some respects, but the beautiful world and fascinating cast of characters more than makes up for it. Most levels are deep and complex, filled with incredible creatures. Taken all together, Metro Exodus is one post-apocalyptic adventure that’s well worth taking.

The conclusion to Artyom’s journey has the best gameplay and most compelling story of the series, on top of incredible visual and audio presentation. It retains the series’ simplistic stealth system and falters with control, writing and dialogue issues, but even so, Metro Exodus is an odyssey worth undertaking.

Their journey takes them through the best and worst the world has to offer, and by god does it have a lot to offer. Metro Exodus is at once comfortingly familiar and a massive step forward for the series, both in terms of how it plays and how it tells its stories. It's not only the best Metro game yet, it's one of the best shooters I've played in years.

From tight gunplay to well-developed stealth mechanics, the game offers variety within the confines of its own rules. The only downsides are average-at-best voice acting and the game ignoring its own stealth leanings to force combat with incredibly difficult bosses. All in all, Metro Exodus is a fantastic game that you'd be worse off for missing out.

The open sandboxes may not be strongest addition, but the game still embraces the sense of vulnerability and post-apocalyptic terror alongside impactful weapons used in refined combat and stealth scenarios. You may miss the mystery and intrigue of the previous games, but Exodus puts together a charismatic crew of friends and family that you'll want to follow to the ends of the earth.

As a sequel, Metro Exodus pulls ahead of the rest of the franchise in a big way by leaving the very metro itself behind. Aesthetically, the place is a joy to explore from beginning to end, and there’s enough variation to keep things feeling fresh. Dig down deep and it’s another Metro with a new skin, but it’s a damned good one of those all the same.

Besides that one little issue, everything else in the title feels right. With the game's new crafting system, and its realistic survival elements, Metro Exodus can already be called a Game of the Year contender for 2019.

It took me around 24 hours to play Metro Exodus from start to finish. I was absolutely enthralled by Artyom’s newest adventure. If I had the energy, I ran the very real risk of playing the whole thing in one go. It’s easily twice as big as either of the previous games without sacrificing any of their charm or quality. The final product of Metro Exodus is everything that I asked for and more. It’s absolutely a game worth playing.

4A Games did a great job on Metro Exodus, but a few glitches (particularly in the audio department) keep it from being a true masterpiece. I sincerely hope that with some patches the rough edges of Metro Exodus can be worked out. It’s almost there but has just enough technical issues to cause some frustration.

Metro Exodus is best when it follows the classic Metro formula, painting the world with tension as you dive deeper into the darkness of the world. While the game does suffer with a bit of an identity crisis at times, at the end of it all, the tension and fear that is peppered throughout more than makes the journey worth the trouble as players get their first look at a much bigger world and the dangers that lie within it.

Metro Exodus will suck you in immediately with its apocalyptic setting, adrenaline action, an innovative combination of visuals and mechanics. The narrative is as good as it is in the book, the characters are all colorful and the story is interesting all the way. The game comes highly recommended!

Quite simply, Metro Exodus is the perfect way to round off this trilogy, and a testament to the powerful evolution that a gaming franchise can make. The open world offers a whole new perspective from which to enjoy Artom's tale. Whilst there are some niggly issues with AI, and maybe an overuse of bespoke animations, the fact remains that it is hard to think of a better example of how to design a single-player survival adventure.

Is Metro Exodus a scattershot game with quite a few things in it that don't gel perfectly? Yes, it definitely is. But is also an admirable attempt at expanding a franchise, which still finds the time to revel in human experiences and serve up meaningful emotional stakes. It flits between scary gunplay and beautiful vistas with aplomb, leaving us with the hope that 4A Games will keep the franchise chugging along and add a few more stops to the journey. But if this is the end of the line for Artyom et al, at least they came this far.

At the end of the day, Metro Exodus is an interesting title that has many high points that unfortunately is let down by technical problems and poor design choices. Most of all the story of Metro Exodus fails in comparison to the other entries in the series and is the main disappointment. Sure, gameplay is fun when it works as intended but the whole journey is a painful one both for the characters and player. If you can look past all the issues you’ll likely find a title worth playing but for many it will all be a bit too much.

A minor gripe, in a series of what are minor issues found throughout Metro Exodus. Sometimes clunky writing and cheesy voice-acting, the odd enemy that glitches out animation-wise, a story sequence that doesn’t trigger forcing a reload. Stuff that, like the mask mechanic found within, dissipates after a good wipe of the hand. Metro Exodus is without a doubt a fantastic single-player story-driven shooter. An experience that lives up to its ambition and promise, offering challenge and surprise in equal measure.

4A Games have rekindled my love for the world that was left behind. A post-apocalyptic journey out of darkness with a uniquely eastern European accent. Equally gorgeous and grotesque Metro Exodus is sure to please newcomers and the returning faithful alike. I just wish the road was a little smoother and with fewer bugs skittering about.

Sabemos que podría mejorar aún más y eso nos pone los pelos de punta. Deja tan buen sabor de boca que nos hubiéramos quedado a vivir en el Aurora. A viajar eternamente y mirar el mundo con la particular y excepcional visión de 4A Games.

Sin embargo, la esperanza de saltar a una nueva audiencia amplia —mainstream— aún se antoja lejana debido a ciertas decisiones de diseño e inconsistencias técnicas que son consecuencia de su naturaleza AA de desarrollo. Pese a lo anterior, Metro: Exodus es una excelente apuesta ambientada en el futuro apocalíptico, que, sin duda, cubrirá con creces la fosa nuclear que el anterior heraldo de género dejó libre para ser ocupada.

Cuestiones que se agolpan en los aficionados. No y no, son las dos respuestas. Metro Exodus demuestra estar a la altura de la saga y, aunque no introduce demasiados cambios en su fórmula, consigue mantenerse fresco cambiando algunos aspectos generales del juego y expandiendo sus horizontes. 4A Games lanza su mayor apuesta hasta la fecha, y el riesgo ha tenido recompensa: Nos han brindado un gran videojuego.

Ich mochte die dezente Benutzeroberfläche ebenso sowie die Survival-Aspekte im Kleinen, außerdem waren Landschaft, Licht und Wetter stellenweise eine Wucht - all das rettet Metro Exodus auf ein solides Niveau. Aber die holprige Regie, die vorhersehbare Story sowie die Defizite im Figurenverhalten sorgten ebenso wie das haklige Klettern oder das unglückliche Speichersystem immer wieder für Brüche im Spielerlebnis.

Zwischen Höhen und Tiefen erleben wir Momente der sorglosen Entspannung und sehen den Teil einer glaubhaften Lebensgeschichte in einer postapokalyptischen Welt. Es ist genau das, was die Herzen von Buch- wie Spielfans gleichermaßen höher schlagen lässt.

Für mich persönlich ist der perfekte Nachfolger - und zwar von der Metro- und der Stalker-Reihe gleichermaßen! Denn das Spiel vereint die großen Stärken seiner Vorgänger, wie klaustrophobisch-gruselige Stimmung und eine lineare Geschichte, mit den Open-World-Motiv in einer verstrahlten Todeszone von Stalker. Dabei schafft es 4A Games, dass keiner der beiden Aspekte zu kurz kommt und meistert den Spagat aus düsterer Atmosphäre und dem Drang zu erkunden mit Bravour.

Metro Exodus n'est pas aussi parfait qu'on l'aurait espéré. L'intelligence artificielle est régulièrement prise en défaut, quelques soucis de finition ressortent le joueur de l'expérience et une portion du titre est un peu moins soignée et impactante que les autres. Ceci étant, Metro Exodus est un excellent prolongement de la franchise, parvenant à greffer à son ADN claustrophobe une ouverture inédite, mais maîtrisée, servant une aventure rythmée, équilibrée et variée.

Et puis on voit enfin du pays ! En contrepartie, le rythme général est moins maîtrisé que dans les précédents épisodes, ce qui pourra dérouter légèrement quelques fans. Heureusement l'univers est toujours aussi intéressant, et les graphismes sont une nouvelle fois à la pointe de la technologie. On conclut donc la trilogie Metro en beauté !

Allez, avouez-le. Comme beaucoup, vous avez passé les dernières semaines à suivre le feuilleton Metro Exodus. Il faut reconnaître que la dernière ligne droite n'a pas été des plus simples pour 4A Games : retrait de Steam, exclusivité de distribution de la version PC sur l'Epic Games Store, coup de chaud d'un de ses développeurs sur un forum russe et gentils taquets échangés entre Deep Silver et Koch Media... on aura vraiment tout vu.

Metro Exodus a ce qu'il faut pour devenir un monument du jeu vidéo et une nouvelle étape dans le développement de ce média qui nous est si cher. Le jeu n'est certes pas exempt de défauts et le mutisme du personnage pourrait même choquer les joueurs les plus habitués à des protagonistes bavards... Mais qu'on soit clair, jamais un FPS n'a atteint un tel degré de détails, de justesse et d'immersion.

De waanzinnig goede combat en Javelin-gameplay maakt heel veel goed, maar het is niet genoeg om de game in zijn huidige vorm te redden. De vele bugs, beperkte variatie van tegenstanders, de onhandige distributie van goede loot en de alomtegenwoordige laadschermen leveren een frustrerende ervaring op. Dit gaat ongetwijfeld snel veranderen, maar voorlopig is mijn advies: wacht even af wat er in de komende weken gebeurt met Anthem.

Metro Exodus è il progetto più ambizioso di 4A Games e dalla recensione è facile capirne i motivi. Dopo un lustro di duro lavoro, gli sviluppatori ucraini sono riusciti nella difficile impresa di evolvere una serie con delle caratteristiche ben precise e molto apprezzate dai fan, senza tuttavia estirparne le radici. Metro Exodus non si lascia sedurre dalle mode del mercato e si conferma un altro solido capitolo che svecchia e migliora la saga.

Metro Exodus è uno shooter in prima persona esclusivamente single player come non se ne vedono più tanto spesso. Si fa giocare con piacere dall'inizio alla fine complici un arco narrativo affascinante, un gameplay arricchito da una serie di meccaniche peculiari della serie, e un comparto grafico strabiliante. A stonare sono solo alcune piccole sbavature, quasi degli incidenti di percorso, su tutti l'intelligenza artificiale carente e dei modelli dei personaggi sottotono.

Потому что «Исход» понравится далеко не всем — она слишком требовательна к игроку. Она потребует усидчивости, будет ждать понимания и желания слушать, внимать мелочам, рассматривать детали. И если вы готовы отдаться ей — вас ждет одна из лучших игр в вашей жизни. Способная рассмешить, заставить плакать, сделать больно и натолкнуть на неожиданные мысли — о самом себе в том числе. Но главное — она запомнится вам надолго. Может, даже навсегда.

Сама история периодически провисает, да и слишком уж молчаливый Артем иногда вымораживает также, как и непрофессиональная озвучка и топорная анимация людей и мутантов. Но при явных минусах в Metro Exodus все же стоит поиграть тем, кто любит качественные и атмосферные экшены от первого лица. А фанатам вселенной игра рекомендуется к ознакомлению в обязательном порядке.

Sona geldiğimizde eğer ilk iki Metro oyununu sevdiyseniz, Metro Exodus’u kaçırmamanızı öneriyorum. Diğer kıyamet sonrası oyunlardan farklı olarak kendine özel bir yapısı olan Metro Exodus, bu senenin dikkat çekici oyunlarından bir tanesi olabilir. Bunların yanında serinin geçiş yaptığı açık dünya temasını merak ediyorsanız, çok büyük bir beklenti içerisine girmemenizi tavsiye ediyorum.

De claustrofobische metrotunnels zijn door Artyom achter zich gelaten en als speler merk je dat direct. Metro Exodus voelt veel opener maar mist daardoor wel de horror die juist hoog in het vaandel stond in de voorgaande games. Grafisch volgt de titel wel beide voorgangers en kan je je vingers aflikken bij al het moois dat het post-apocalyptische Rusland jou zal voorschotelen. Combineer dat met de nieuwe features en de wereld van Metro Exodus voelt weliswaar anders aan, maar wel een waar je van kan genieten!

Fans van de serie weten wat ze kunnen verwachten: een prachtig gedetailleerde, post-apocalyptische wereld om te verkennen. Een verhaal om je vingers bij af te likken, personages om van te houden en een ervaring die je zeker bij zal blijven. Ik kan niet wachten om meer van de Metro-serie te zien.

Pewnie wielu z Was nadal jest obrażonych na 4A Games i (zwłaszcza) Deep Silver za tę całą awanturę z Epic Games Store’em. Nie dziwię się. Ale pomyślcie o tym w ten sposób: jeśli wypniecie się na ten ostatni – czy też jeden z ostatnich, bo istnieje jeszcze Wolfenstein – bastion napędzanych fabułą poważnych strzelanek dla jednego gracza, to być może za kilka lat obudzicie się w świecie, w którym istnieją już tylko mdłe, pstrokate Far Crye i legion sieciowych shooterów (z kroczącym dumnie na jego czele, niepomnym na własne korzenie Call of Duty).

به عنوان جمع‌بندی، باید گفت که حرکت مترو به سمت بلاک‌باستر شدن با افزایش وسعت کیلومتری محیط، چندان خوب از کار در نیامده است. با این‌که Exodus همچنان میراث سری را همراه دارد، اما بخش‌های ولگا و کاسپین با ماهیت فرانچایز همخوانی ندارند. سفر خروج آرتیوم و دوستانش، مترو را با تراژدی روبرو نکرده، اما درامی را آفریده است که در آن Exodus برخلاف انتظارها، نتوانست بهترین نسخه سری باشد. هرچند بازی بهترین مرحله سری راهمراه دارد.

S Metrom Exodus autori zo 4A games pekne rozšírili univerzum série, ukázali, čo je za hranicami Moskvy, ako vyzerá svet, ale zároveň dokázali, že vedia aj otvoriť hrateľnosť a vyviesť ju z tunelového štýlu. Možno ešte trochu nemotorne a niektoré veci z herného hľadiska nedotiahli, rovnako ako základ príbehu, ktorému chýba tajomno, ale mix objavovania, akcie, rozprávania je veľmi dobrý a vytvára pôsobivú jazdu krížom cez zničený svet.
