r/metro_exodus

Having loved the first two Metro games and having played them 10+ times each, it is with great disappointment that I say this, but Metro Exodus is a terrible game.

The plot is hollow. The reasons for them keeping everyone in the dark about being able to communicate with the outside world (for like 20 years) are ridiculous. Why not task Artyom and a small veteran crew to explore parts of the surface. They could have divided Exodus into two or three separate games.

They didn't explore the different locations we came across in great detail. The game lacks that iconic Metro atmosphere and ambience. The surface feels dull with a few monsters scattered here and there.

I didn't like the addition of the zombies that you come across the Urals regions mainly. I wish it was some sort of new creepy mutant creature. Speaking of mutants, why does the flying beast, Demon, look more like a giant bat now??!

Many small things I don't like; such as the day night cycle - I believe that this takes away from the Metro atmosophere that we've all come to know and love. A much better way to do this would have been the design the game to be more linear and as you progress, the day turns to night or vice versa.

There is no reason to add a meta where the gun gets dirty; what is the point of this? Completely pointless. The gun gets dirty waaaay too fast. I don't want to have to worry about these pointless things that take away from the immersion. Where the gas mask meta added to the urgency of the first two Metro games, the gun getting dirty takes away from it.

There's waaay too much dialogue.

The crew lacks a clear plan. The reason for Artyom and his crew to venture all the way to Novasibriski is ridiculous. Also, there are zero people at the station. Only a child survives? The place doesn't even have NPCs scattered all over the place like you find in the Moscow Metro.

I feel like, unlike the first two games, almost everyone you come across is trying to kill you, and their reasons for doing so are really petty/bad. Like at the summer camp place, did no one think, gee, these guys might not be trying to harm us, they're outsiders, not those creepy bandits.

Also, every single place we come across feels empty and hollow, missing NPCs/life unlike the first two Metro games.

I did like Sams Story, it was a good DLC but I didn't like the open world nature of it.

I’ve tried playing this game multiple times, first on my PS4, and later on my PC. Every time, I ended up giving up within the first two hours, mainly because of the sheer number of controls. It felt like I had to study and memorize them all, and during stressful moments I would panic and struggle to find the right buttons or keys to press. This happened to me on both PlayStation and PC. And as I play multiple games, I can't put that much effort into learning key binding of one game. So I wanted to ask if there’s any way I can get around this issue, because I really want to experience this beautiful game.

METRO 2039 has reached 1 million wishlists 

We are blown away to reach this milestone so quickly after the reveal. Thank you for your incredible support r/metro, we cannot wait to invite you into the Metro this winter.

I finished playing both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light earlier this week and have had a blast playing the series in anticipation for Metro 2039.

I'm on the chapter after Moscow and wow this feels massive. I am curious if the rest of the chapters will all feel this way or if just certain chapters are massive and the rest are more linear? It feels very different from the first two games, not in a bad way but I'm just trying to understand what I should expect moving forward.

Hello folks! I’m almost done playing Last light (AGAIN)and I’m headed to Exodus after. Quick question: do you think I should play the base version or the enhanced one? My computer can run smoothly both of them, but I heard some people saying the enhanced lighting system it’s not perfect with the mood. Opinion? Thank you all!
