First, the publisher Deep Silver decided to make a scummy move and make Metro Exodus an Epic store an exclusive couple of days before release.

After a whole year, we get a broken game with terrible voice actors, and no advanced graphic options, in which the only way to remove blur and get a higher FOV is to tweak a config file.

Despite everything, I still highly recommend Metro Exodus because of the story and the astonishing atmosphere. This time we have a mix of linear sections and open-world levels which is a welcomed addition. There is a big focus on managing resources and weapon customisation on the go, inspired by Crysis. Often you will have to choose between medkits, filters for the gas mask or bullets. The combat itself is challenging and immersive. A lot of improvements were made from 2033 and Last Light. I hope this isn't the last title in the series. Glukhovsky kinda confirmed on his Instagram that the story will continue with other games.

And, as always, I highly recommend everyone to read the books!
