Everyone on PC who already owns Metro Exodus gets the Enhanced Edition for free across Steam, Good Old Games, the Microsoft Store, and the Epic Games Store. The Spartans detour to the heavily-irradiated city of Novosibirsk, the closest location where an antidote may be found. Despite the risk, Miller and Artyom head into the city alone to search for the antidote. They enter the Novosibirsk Metro and find a young boy named Kirill, the last Novosibirsk survivor, who explains his father left on a mission to obtain a map marking a clean, habitable area. Miller and Artyom split up; Miller goes to find the map and Artyom searches for the antidote. Artyom finds the antidote but a mutant gravely wounds him and he absorbs a heavy dose of radiation. Artyom, Miller, and Kirill return to the train with the map and the antidote; on the return journey, Miller uses a dose of anti-radiation serum meant for himself to save Artyom, and dies of radiation poisoning. The rest of the Spartans donate blood to give Artyom a critical transfusion. Anna is cured with the antidote and with the map, the Spartans settle on the shores of Lake Baikal, which is free from radiation. I was happy when they announced a PS5 version. I wanted to give it another go. Just wow! The difference between the OG PS4 and PS5 versions is astounding. The haptics are good, the graphics are so much better, and the load times of course. The game is so immersive now. I love how the mask gets fogged up when you are breathing, and wiping away the water. Photo mode is pretty cool, also. Walker, Alex (4 February 2019).

I've always enjoyed the Metro series and wouldn't mind playing Exodus a second time... if I had a PS5!!!!!!! Yin-Poole, Wesley (20 June 2017).

Nepp67 I think it's just a purely artistic choice, because mechanically I agree it doesn't really help much, but that tactile feeling and knowledge that you the player are the one catalyzing it...warm feelings all over! The fact of how you can influence how your enemies react makes for some good varied gameplay situations. Frustratingly, they can be very stupid. There are countless moments where I took out a man right next to his friend and his friend sat there as if nothing happened. So when I threw my blade at him it felt undeserved.

Final thoughts on Metro Exodus on the PlayStation 5

Up to the end of its release quarter on 31 March 2019, Metro Exodus generated €58 million for publisher Deep Silver. [71] THQ Nordic, Deep Silver's parent company, said while physical sales performed in line with management's expectations, the game's digital sales exceeded it. According to CEO Lars Wingefors, the "absolute majority" of the game's sales came from console players. [72] After its release on Steam on 15 February 2020, the game sold more than 200,000 units within two days. [73] By February 2022, the game had sold six million units. [74] As of March 2023, it has sold over 8.5 million units. [75] Sequel [ edit ] Both of these features really heighten the beauty of the world and models that 4A Games have created. A Metro world has never looked better and seeing the light bounce off of surfaces and really accentuate the amazing atmosphere, gives you the feeling of immersion that couldn’t have been achieved on PS4. a b Mozuch, Mo (26 June 2018).

Linear locations are straightforward, and probably when I enjoyed the game most. Metro Exodus can ooze with the atmosphere when it is concentrated like it does when it is a straightforward path. That kind of focus does wonders for the game, you can tell that is what the developers know best.

ShogunRok strange that the ray tracing isn't mentioned in the review, I know people like to associate it with reflections but the way its used here is just as impressive and hopefully we'll see more games take this approach This kind of storytelling can be a hit and a miss for me though. You feel entirely unattached because the characters keep making decisions for you and keep putting words in your mouth. There are games where good writing and premise can let you get away with a mute protagonist but Metro Exodus isn’t one of them, especially considering how heavy the dialogue is. Of course, this meant that the passengers on the train did have some special moments that made the fight for a better home for them more enticing. Saed, Sherif (23 May 2019).

Also not open world. It is like before - just not all the stops have the same world structure. You also play story elements that are linear.Talking of resources, you can use them to fix and clean your weapons in Metro Exodus. You can find attachments that improve your weapons. However, the most exciting thing about weapon upgrades is when you find new ones. It’s not bad, just very shallow weapon progression. You also need to worry about your gas mask, making sure you have enough filters, but I never felt like I ever could run out. However, that might just be because I was on the easy difficulty. It adds to the atmosphere given you can see the impurities of your mask on your tv screen but never really directly impacted gameplay for me.
