Yea definitely a game that provides the opportunity to flesh out relationships with people on your own rather than it forcing interactions or telling you that you "should" care for this person. Made the connections feel a lot more natural. Cheers for the comment!
@@360NoScopedMyDogEz honestly one of the main reasons why am planning on editing an ttrpg game just so that I can be in there again, because sadly playing the games over and over again while fun comes predictable so what's more unpredictable than other people eh ^-^ also been trying to find the books but am real damng unlucky it seems
Play it in Russian audio, you'll get a very different experience. Even with the NPCs especially when you kill off their buddies and they know they're the last one, they lose their shit. The VAs did a fantastic job.
the thing with metro exodus is that the world is so alive, that I still discover clues about the story or random buildings with npcs on volga that i missed after playing the game so many times. I noticed that if you actually pay close attention to the dialogue it almost warns you about the future, like with duke dying for example the colonel already told you to be careful because he is careless. i havent seen so much detail on dialogues on any other game to be honest
Metro Exodus is one of my favorite games of all time. Closley follwed by all the other games in that franchise. An i played MANY open World story games such as Red dead 2, Far Cry, Witcher 3
The Metro trilogy are some of the most immersive and atmospheric games out there, rivaled only by STALKER in my opinion. And it's no surprise since A4 was created by devs who parted ways from GSC.
Good video. I had picked this game up about a year or two ago and played it for a few hours then forgot about it (idk why, maybe my attention span lmao). Then a few weeks ago I booted it back up bc I was just looking through my steam library and realized I hadn't finished it. I'm really glad I started playing it again cuz it is so refreshing and immersive. I love first-person open world games and this one reeled me back in. I'm close to finishing it but I gotta say it's been a blast.
Spoiler alert for my comment! The part at the end of the game where Artyom is forced to drive back to the train in that van is just so... good. I imagined myself as Artyom in that position, knowing you're a dying man, yet you keep on moving because your wife will die otherwise. Love it!
@@GimGamOfficial It turns out that the game is not from the same developers, but I heard that they are already working on a new part of the game, and the VR game has nothing to do with the main developers except for the theme.
Just finished Exodus on PC and I really liked it for its immersion and story. I liked the change between open worlds, train scenes and linear levels mixed throughout. However alot of things are very scripted and theres a little bit of jank involved here and there which ripped me out of the loop. Also my PC version on Win11 I had a weird bug that freeze all my controls every few minutes and needed a reload. But I held out to the end because it has its special moments and sceneries. Wont replay it tho...
The jank gives the game a sense of charm haha, but yea the crashing was annoying, I didn't experience it as bad as you it sounds like but impressed you pushed through to the end. Cheers for the comment!
@@GimGamOfficial Yes I pushd through this, the urge to see this great train journey evolve and end was too big than to not finsih it because of some janky bugs. Not many games manage that :)
@@Rockport1911 I get you. Replayed all metro games bunch of times to get all achievements and the scripted moments get really annoying after a while. Nonetheless, awesome series
Metro brings me back to the days of getting home from school excited to run metro last light or 2023. Games where no matter how many guns I have or how safe I feel I can get assaulted by nosalis’s and lose all my ammo. I have such a love for this game series it doesn’t hold your hand it drags you through the horrors of post apocalyptic Russia while you scream.
I play Exodus every year around New Year's eve, it's a yearly ritual at this point. The only critique I have when it comes to Exodus is the Forest area, forest region felt a bit too short and a bit too linear in my opinion, still an amazing masterpiece. Also if you decide to get this game, please get the DLCs for it, one is very linear but flushes out the main story more, the other one is more open ended and it's about Sam, the american side character and that DLC is extremely fun. And the last area in the game is insane, it's mentally straining and extremely difficult in a good way. It really makes you feel hopeless
You put the last location in much better words than mine haha, hopeless was a great way to describe it, and that last car ride definitely captures that essence. And I think the rest of the game kind of being free of that hopelessness makes it punch so much harder at the end.
Me playing the game last night on my 4th run through of the game, then me when I saw this video and asked myself, hmmmm i wonder if exodus is still good, let’s find out!
One of my Favorite games of the last decade beat it twice now and this video showing up on my recommended has me installing it again but this time on my ROG Ally
Awesome game! I wish they had a few more open maps! But even without that the game was a amazing immersive fps “horror” game. I hope they come out with a new game soon!
I just finished it with the Enhanced Edition on Extreme at 1440p with a 5700x3d and 3090 and 32gb ram. And it was still hard to run in some places. My fav part was the linear parts though like 2033 and Last Light. The first DLC is amazing. I didn't like that much the open areas. My fav parts was the cannibal bunker, the Taiga, and the end area of the game. But They had to make that open a little cause it was a road trip. Either way it was very good. Even the DLC with Sam was open but not too much and I liked it too, we got to see destroyed California. Anyway, do all the games in order guys. And also if you like to read. Read the books. Now I'm waiting for the VR game to be on sale so I can play it
Yea I think there's something up with the enhanced edition, something with the ray tracing that chunked my PC too, I just went with the base edition and it ran fine but still looked pretty good
i have been looking for a new fps rpg for me to play i can play stalker 2 with game pass but is it worth trying this game after all this time? (yes i have played cyberpunk 2077 and i love it but i want something new)
As a veteran metro player going back to the original metro 2033 I don't feel like exodus did it for me. So the original 2033 made by thq had a different moral point system that didn't really depend on actions. Yes there were certain actions that gave you a moral point but mostly it was strumming a guitar or squeezing a doll that you found that gave you most the points You needed for the good ending. This made the game feel less restricting on how you played. Then came last light which had a moral system based on actions meaning if you want the good ending you essentially run around like batman the entire game knocking people out and spare people who shouldn't be left alive considering their crimes. Overall I love both games and played both alot. Then exodus changed the feel completely leaving behind Moscow and the dark damp tunnels that we've grown to know. With that big change came other changes like having to clean your weapons and add attachments. The cleaning you should be able to do from your bag because it's really annoying to have your gun go down in the middle of a fight and the nearest work bench is far away. They changed the lore on the weapons like the revolver went from being usable to being unusable until you get certain attachments for it that make it like it was in the previous games. The base guns overall looked awful unlike the last games and was a pet peeve of mine for this game. I like what they did with the attachment system and with the larger maps it really allowed you to set guns up to fit the map or your play style but changing the base guns really bothered me. The maps were ok but just didn't have the metro feel which I understand they can't keep doing the same thing and have to branch out. The story line didn't do it for me either since all but two of the characters are new. Miller was annoying most of the game and I only felt attached to Anna. Anna was the only part that really drove me to the finish line other than that I didn't feel much for the story it's self. With the moral point system being the same as last light it again forced me to act like batman in order to get the good ending. The mutants in this game didn't feel like challenges just annoying obstacles. Even the remake of 2033 and last light didn't feel like that to me. Exodus overall just didn't hit the mark but it's still worth a play through now and again.
Yea outside of the Anna storyline it didn't really feel like there was anything bigger the gang was striving for after other than finding a safe place to live. At least in the other games there was the whole alien component kind of moving it forward, but since removing that I think it made the rest of the game more reliant on the smaller location specific stories. I still had fun with it, and it made it kind of feel episodic which wasn't bad, but yea definitely felt like less clear direction story wise. Cheers for the comment!
@GimGamOfficial I'm always down to talk about metro I hope we get a game about Sam going home and can continue that story. I'm not sure how much more they can do with artyoms story without feeling like their beating a dead horse. Either way I'm excited for what comes next
The original Metro 2033 (2010) version is still one of the most atmospheric survival adventure horror fps games i have ever played. Somehow Last Light and Redux version made the gameplay worse for me. Also the artsyle lost its charm imo. Thankfully exodus feels more like the first game! Tho i liked being inside the claustrophobic metros and outside world being this crazy cold and hostile world full of death. But like every story it must move on and in exodus Artyom is a veteran spartan so being outside does not feel like it does in 2033 for him and the player.
i can't understand why ppl always say shit like this a great game is a great game even 20 years after release nothing changes well only now old good games look like Incredible Amazing games since ppl have gotten nothing but complete garbage last 10 years
Dude talking about Metro Exodus like it's not a completely modern game is bonkers. NOTHING has changed about gaming since 2019. The landscape was exactly the same, if not worse, when this game came out.
Worse? Idk about that. And it's less about when the game came out and more about the style of game that it is, which definitely does feel older compared to what games are now today.
Exodus was a huge disappointment for me. Way too short, characters and overal story was lame and straight up cringey at times. The worst of the three for sure. Cool concept, beautiful visuals, decent gameplay but I don't know. I wanna revisit it one of these days.
Wow..Thought I was the only one who felt that way about Exodus.Yeah it was boring and lame from beginning to end but it does look nice and plays very well.
@@GimGamOfficial i disagree this seemed genuine and i prefer a genuine video then one that was worked on way to much try to really make it seem like more than what it is people do that with other fps games

I love this game. solid 9/10 for me. will replay it 4th time when upgrade a PC.
The only game that ever felt alive to me
you need to play more games then

has there been any news on the supposed sequel yet?
Only that the VR title is supposedly set to release this year.
honestly Metro games you are required to run with Russian to get the most out of em, just sounds better
DID YOU NOT REPLAY THE GAME??? THE CHARACTERS LIVED IN MY 2nd PLAYTHROUGH
Unfortunately not, all of them are still dead haha, but I'll accept my decisions and their consequences, though I do regret Atriums death
2:36 Fictional locations? Nah those are real locations and thats how Russia looks in my mind :)
Haha who knew Russia had so many places accessible via train
8 years?
Yea apologies somehow I got 2016 and 2019 mixed up haha
Idk why I still haven't finished this game. Also liked the Russians. It is not like your standard american "hero" characters.
