It's especially cringeworthy when the game tries to make us care about Artyom's relationship with his wife Anna, despite the fact their every interaction is incredibly one sided. This is something a lot of first person games do, but in Exodus other characters are constantly talking to and interacting with Artyom, who says nothing in return, and they all act as though this is normal. I was also frequently irritated by the execution of Artyom as a silent protagonist. Switching the language track to Russian makes the whole game sound a lot less comical, although then you'll be caught needing to read subtitles even while you're fighting for your life.
For example the English voice acting is still bad, losing all nuance and emotion in heavy European accents. Of course some of the series' weakpoints have followed through to Exodus as well. The environments in Exodus are incredibly varied. Doing so does make your guns dirty and unreliable though, and you need to find work benches to give them a good clean. You can also fit bits and pieces you've pulled off other guns onto your favourite weapons, like a night vision module or a new grip. Then there's the extensive crafting system, where you can plop down on the floor anywhere, open your backpack and make throwing knives or explosives out of the scraps you've found along the way. It only adds to the incredible tension when you're stuck underground and not sure you have time to get out. And although you no longer use bullets for currency in Exodus, which was previously a clever way to sum up the games' austerity, that vibe still lives on.įor example I love the needlessly complicated in-world solutions to things that are usually handled with text and metres in other games, like the fact that you check Artyom's actual wrist to see the timer for your gas mask filters. My favourite thing about the previous two games is the dirty, scavenged, retro-future style, sold ingeniously through minimal and immersive first-person design and smart survival elements. But connecting them all is a sprawling and beautiful semi-open world replacing the dank old rail system, filled with new stories to discover, tough choices to make and horrific creatures to be tormented by. Many of Artyom's excursions on the surface directly apply the familiar, oppressive horror setup to tunnels and structures filled with monsters and enemies. Metro Exodus received generally positive reviews, and according to Embracer Group’s earnings, the game sold 6 million units as of December 31, 2022.Visuals aside, the new setting makes for a brilliant expansion of the Metro world.
