Metro Exodus

- 4A Games
<em>Metro Exodus</em> builds on the gameplay of the previous titles and expands it into a much broader world, adding new mechanics and expanding the narrative without padding things too much.
In Metro Exodus, players assume the role of Artyom and navigate through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, fighting mutated creatures and hostile humans in a series of non-linear levels. The game now has enhanced visuals that require a ray-tracing capable GPU, with upgraded DLC content also available. The story takes place in 2036, twenty-five years after nuclear war, where survivors live in the metro tunnels of Moscow.

Critic Reviews
Not only the best Metro yet, it's one of the best shooters in years
A first-person survival shooter that's as engrossing as it is unnerving, Metro Exodus tells a powerfully human story in a world that's equal parts style and substance.

Metro Exodus is an amazing and beautiful game that offers a new style and experience from 2033 and Last Light. With polished visuals and an amazing soundtrack, the changes 4A Games have implemented create awesome environments and enjoyable gameplay, taking you across various landscapes of Europe. However, in doing so, the survival horror and dark, claustrophobic tone have almost entirely been left behind at the station.

I can't say that Metro Exodus is a step up from the previous entries in the series, but I can definitely say that it's a step in a different direct. The game in itself is great, but its main fault is that it promises you everything and fails to deliver. Although it's a much longer game than the other two (20-25 hours), you could easily fit the content in a different environment like the metro. The exploration part is by far the worst aspect of Metro Exodus and, ironically, the one that's been advertised the most. With all its drawbacks, Metro Exodus is definitely on par with the previous titles. Even if it doesn't reinvents the wheel, Metro Exodus plays and feels differently than 2033 and Last Light. It takes more time to shape the characters and gives more meaning to the actions they take, but also opens up a myriad of possibilities for the franchise. Metro Exodus bets big on interpersonal relationships and world building, something that the other two games in the series lacked badly. Its more mundane approach on how Artyom's crew perceives the post-apocalyptic landscapes they explore in their search for the promise land is what makes Metro Exodus a great game.
