Metro Exodus Reviews
Metro Exodus on the PlayStation 5 is more than a simple upgrade, but instead takes advantage of everything the console has to offer. Excellent visuals and performance? Check. Immersive DualSense functionality? Check. Activity Card features to keep track of everything in each area? Check. It really has it all (and I haven’t even touched upon the improved loading times). Whilst the gameplay remains the same (and still has some of the same flaws in places), the new innovations and improvements brought with the PlayStation 5 version of Metro Exodus really take things to the next level. Whether you have played through the adventure before or this is your first time exploring this desolate and broken world, the PlayStation 5 offers the best way to experience it.
All in all, Metro Exodus takes great strides in evolving the series into a methodical sandbox experience that usually knows when to liberate and when to confine you. Held back from true greatness by its raw and clunky mechanics, it is otherwise a worthy conclusion to a near decade-long trilogy.
In general, despite its setbacks, Metro Exodus manages to tell a story that will keep your interest and will make those who decide to play it, interested in the fate of this group of people.

In addition to all the problems that were addressed in the review, Metro Exodus depicts a fascinating experience of Russia's post-apocalyptic world. The game continues to adhere to the original formula of the series, from breathtaking action to fear and striving for survival. This version brings the story of Artium to a magnificent and beautiful end.

Following the trend of open world games, Metro Exodus tries to do some interesting things with its open world, that unfortunately a lot of times feels empty and the level design isn't as tight as we see in Last Light, but the game fills it's shoes with a great cast of characters, a pretty interesting setting and a beautiful world to look at.

In comparison to 2033 or the original Metro game, Exodus fails to match up. The open world setting is a nice idea poorly implemented, contradicting the claustrophobic, tense atmosphere that worked so well to define the previous games. There is some potential here but the shallow characters, clunky controls and cliched silent protagonist make this a game that would have been a hit 10 years ago, but feels out of place in 2019. There is enjoyment to be had here, but if you're looking for something to match its predecessors, Metro: Exodus fails to live up to expectations.
Metro Exodus is exactly the game that creators promised and its more open environment and ambitious narrative, taking place over a longer period of time, will fully satisfy all Metro fans.

Much like the previous games in the franchise, Metro Exodus isn’t perfect. Yet, despite that fact, this threequel’s bold decision to take its world in a new direction means that its glaring positives outweigh its lack of refinement. The gameplay is solid, the visuals are terrific and Metro Exodus’s decision to try new, courageous gameplay mechanics makes it a thrill to play, overall, meaning that this is not only a fitting culmination to Artyom’s story, but also 4A’s studio-defining work on the franchise as well.
With more open spaces to explore and out of the claustrophobic ruins of Moscow, Metro Exodus goes into an interesting direction showing a classic post-apocalyptic world more familiar to the fans of this genre. Flawed but charming, Artyom’s journey is full of emotions and action packed, in a well-paced game that has almost everything a Metro game should have.

Metro Exodus may be bigger than previous Metro games, but it’s a larger shell that begs to be filled with something polished, interesting and unique.
Metro: Exodus is the proper result of the hard work made by Glukhovsky together with the developing team 4A Games. Even if many features have been introduced in this title, compared to the previous games, the spirit of the saga is still intact, but actually those updates enhance the atmosphere of danger, worry and uncertainty that Artyom has to face in this new adventure. The game is great under many aspects: captivating plot, gameplay, soundtrack and an incredible graphic. Though, few bugs, tedious fights, and a controversial dubbing, make the experience far from being flawless. In the end, Metro: Exodus is a great game suggested to all the fan of the series, but also to who approach to the game for the first time.

Metro: Exodus is a decent FPS with open world-style level design, but fans of the previous entries may not be too happy with the various changes it has brought to the series.
Metro Exodus is not just another post-apocalyptic video game. The game is a character-driven story that is intriguing. Metro Exodus has great gameplay and gorgeous scenery, and it's a fun game to play.
Metro Exodus is one of the best survival games I've played in a long time.
Metro: Exodus is a great final chapter for one of gaming’s most underrated series. It definitely feels like it waters down some of the series’ more unique aspects in an attempt to bring the series to a wider audience, but it still has enough of that signature Metro charm to be a challenging yet fun romp through the wasteland.
Metro on the surface ... is that still metro? Of course, after all, it is called Metro Exodus (lt excerpt). I have not played such a good story shooter for a long time. In the previous parts you were only allowed to surface for a short time, but in Exodus we leave the ground and explore the irradiated surface of Russia. Of course, Russia is not yet cleared of radiation, but here and there it is less strong, which makes the area no less dangerous. Bandits, mutants, demons ... evil has many names and forms. But what makes Metro so special? On the one hand, the story, which has taken me quite a bit towards the end, the survival aspect, that one must always keep an eye on filters, medicine packs and ammunition, some thrills in the shafts of the Metro, the darkness, a little bit of horror, not too much, just right. This mix makes Metro really special. And what you must not forget, karma. The game remembers whether we are peacefully coping with the game, or riveting everything that comes our way, and this also has an effect on the end, which in turn increases the counter-value. I went quite neutral to Metro Exodus and I'm really excited!

If you loved both 2033 and Last Light then you’ve likely boarded the hype train already and won’t be disappointed. Many will appreciate the continuation of Artyom’s story and 4A’s shift towards a freer, more immersive experience though Metro is still a couple of pegs below that top tier of first-person shooters. It feels rough around the edges and is let down by occasional bugs, sloppy AI, and a flimsy stealth system. That said, innovations elsewhere make some of these shortfalls easier to overlook.
In the end, 4A Games missed the mark with Metro Exodus. It's disappointing, but in a way, it's a good thing too. It means they still have a lot to learn and Metro still needs to continue growing as a franchise.
Metro Exodus is the best in the series, offering a perfect blend of old and new gameplay mechanics as well as a much more grounded story diving deeper into the people that inhabit the game's post-apocalyptic Russia
