Thoroughly enjoyed my time with this one that I've double dipped on both Xbox and PS5. The DLCs are also excellent, btw!

For reference, the game hit 6 million sales in 2022.
Metro 2033 hit 1.5 million after it's 2010 release in 2012.
Interestingly the CEO claimed low development costs contributed to even modest sales turning a profit (this was back in 2010 with the first Metro title)

Exodus works so well because it's designed similarly to Far Cry 2.
I would never want a full open world like Horizon or GTA but if they could interconnect the levels and let you seamlessly traverse them somehow, more like how Homefront the Revolution handles it's "zones" it would work incredibly well.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Post apocalyptic Russia is very sexy and I'm very high on Metro Exodus and the series as a whole.

I don't think sales numbers mean as much anymore, at least outside first months to first year sales. This game has been given away for pennies for the past 4 years, so their "10 million sold" is not equivalent to a game that's maintained a higher price over the same period of time.
That being said, I love Metro Exodus, and it's worth a hell of a lot more than what they sell it for.

Solid game and series. I still have my copy of Metro Redux as well. Big fan of the series as a whole.

Sure, but I think I bought my copy at $5 or something..
Great game, though! Love to see what's next.

How was exodus vs. 2033?
I remember trying 2033 way back and it was really canned/rails gunplay and tons of unskippable cutscenes. Is Exodus similar? Or more open gameplay and skippable cutscenes?

I prefer 2033. The semi open world's from Exodus were wack. Dumb AI didn't help either.

Yep, it’s a great game. I liked the previous games as well, but Exodus was very good.Thoroughly enjoyed my time with this one that I've double dipped on both Xbox and PS5. The DLCs are also excellent, btw!
I would love to see next game in the series, but no idea if that will even happen now with all the Putin’s shenanigans. I do think the studio moved out of Russia at least.

The Metro books are probably my favorite books outside of LOTR.
The games are good enough that I own them on multiple platforms. If it wasn't for the barrage of JRPGs plus Ronin coming out I would love to do another play through of all of them. That VR title is exciting as well.

I liked Exodus but Last Light is still my favorite.
I think leaving the underground environment behind made it loose a lot of the unique appeal it had.
I'd still like to see a Metro game with an open world subway system. The world in the books always sounded interesting with the various "cities" and outposts in the stations and weird shit happening in the tunnels between them
I don't really remember how skippable the cutscenes are but Exodus is quite different.
Most of the game takes place in big outside environments with a bigger focus on exploration than the previous games which were more linear due to the setting.

Had never played these games before but wanted to see the RTGI implementation on the PS5, was blown away by the visuals. Although ended up getting roped into to the story as well... and this has now become one of my all time favourites. It reminded me weirdly of Goldeneye 64 (my favourite game of all time), first person desolate shooter set in super atmospheric locations.
The game also has amazing re-playability value to it.

Got Metro 2033 redux and Last Light redux free on Epic game store. Gonna play those after I finish the 3 Tomb Raider reboots I also got free on the Epic Game Store.
Really loving my new PC, old games but maxing out all the graphics.

I've bought it two times, still haven't gone past the first open world zone in either the ps5 or pc version. It's not bad or anything, but it feels very jarring after the first two games. I just don't feel like the open level design suits the series. I want to be down there killing stuff in close proximity while being unable to see anything.

Awesome game. While I understand a lot of people didn't care for it because it departed from the grimy, claustrophobic underground metro setting of the books and the first two games, I loved its variety of locales. From the half-frozen Volga to the arid desert of the Caspian basin, it had such wonderful vistas.

Loved everything about it including the two story DLC.

It's an incredible game. I think what it did well was kind of overshadowed by some of the lesser fine technical issues on the consoles, but it was stunning on PC at release and got even better as time went on and then the subsequent upgrades for the "next-gen" systems. It had very organic growth as a series from the first Metro to Exodus and I look forward to the next game from them. I still haven't played the DLC, I started the Colonels one and then got caught up with other things at the time.
One of the best AAA Immersive-Sim lite games I've ever played and would highly suggest anyone on the fence to check it out before S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 comes out.

Please no. No generic open world. More Metro less trees and and bushes. More Metro with city hubs to explore is preferably to keep it a Metro game and not a Stalker game.

It's currently on sale in PS Store.
It's a steal for $4.49.

You're correct about them relocating, but the devs were based in Ukraine and not Russia (the author of the Metro series is Russian though).
Most of the devs have relocated either to their sister studio in Malta or to other branches inside Saber Interactive, their parent company.

One of the best FPS I’ve ever played. I prefer the slower, more adventurous pace over the crazy Doom style chaos.
Gorgeous graphics and fantastic performance too.

That was my point though,the hubs in Exodus were well designed,if they could reproduce that on a larger scale it would make for an interesting open world,not the generic Ubisoft copy and paste stuff.

I liked it enough to finish it, including the DLC, but it is by far the most buggy and unfinished game of the three mainline games.
