About this deal

There is no higher quality 30fps or lower quality 120fps mode, just a 60fps mode that has a 4K output (which is done via Temporal upscale from around 1512p). I want to say while I did have a lot of issues with Metro Exodus, I really enjoyed the single player trip I got to go on. It never really reaches the highs of the excellent first-person games I have cherished but does enough to warrant a recommendation if you have played all the “must-plays” out there already.

I will say upfront, I was wrong about Metro Exodus. I thought it was going to be a boring and cheap Russian post-apocalypse adventure through the underground train system. Instead, I was quite surprised by Metro Exodus on the PlayStation 5. Metro Exodus takes the series open world". MCVUK. 12 June 2017. Archived from the original on 22 June 2023 . Retrieved 22 June 2023. We've already discussed 4A Games' marvellous work on Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on both PC and Xbox Series consoles, but today we can complete the set as we look at the PlayStation 5 version - and it's an absolute treat. Just like all the other versions of the game, it's using the latest rendition of the 4A Engine, rebuilt from the ground up to support hardware accelerated ray tracing, which is used to deliver phenomenally realistic global illumination. And similar to its console brethren, 60 frames per second is the target. Oh and while it's brand new for PlayStation 5, owners of the PS4 version get a free upgrade. Brown, Fraser (28 January 2020). "Metro Exodus is getting a sandbox expansion in February". PC Gamer. Archived from the original on 22 June 2023 . Retrieved 23 June 2023. All that said, the title’s most impressive accomplishment remains the writing. Exodus takes Artyom and Anna’s satirically under-developed “relationship” from Last Light and transforms it into not just something meaningful, but the most compelling facet of the entire game. Their relationship serves as the driving force for much of the title, and feels authentic in a way that exceedingly few games can pull off. The cast surrounding these two are no slouches either, providing a motley assortment of soldiers, mechanics, and refugees that live and grow alongside one another, across the title’s year-long journey.

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. In March 2019, 4A Games released a patch named "Ranger Update" that introduced a New Game Plus mode in which players can modify individual gameplay elements such as persistent radiation and the number of weapons Artyom can carry. It also features developer commentary in the form of a collectible named Green Tape Players. [44] Two expansions for the game were released; the first expansion, The Two Colonels, which was released in August 2019, features claustrophobic environments that are similar to those of the first two games in the series. It serves as a prequel to the game and follows Colonel Khlebnikov as he attempts to reunite with his son Kirill in Novosibirsk on New Year's Eve. [45] The second expansion, Sam's Story, which features larger, more-open levels like Exodus, was released on 11 February 2020. The expansion follows an American marine named Sam, who must attempt to reach the harbor of Vladivostok and return to the US. [46] Beyond that, the Enhanced Edition's visual feature set on PlayStation 5 is entirely consistent with what we saw on Xbox Series X. It has the same level of detail, the same suite of ray traced effects, and the same trades up against the PC version. Even the limited variable rate shading support (used only on forward rendered elements of the presentation) is identical - though the implementation of it on consoles does not necessarily require hardware support. Similar to the VRS used in Call of Duty: Warzone, what we're seeing here can be achieved through exploiting the multi-sample anti-aliasing hardware within the GPU. And it is a bit of a shame that the full Tier Two VRS implementation isn't used on any rendition of the game, not even PC. Temporal upscaling is also used to deliver a decent-looking 4K presentation: internal resolution is lower, but detail is accumulated across frames and incorporated into the one currently rendered. The end result is a vastly improved version of what is by far the best title set in Dmitry Glukhovsky’s apocalyptic Russia – even if the voice work, in English at least, is uneven to put it kindly.

Games has also done an excellent job at making use of everything the PS5 offers as unique features for players on the system. Activity Cards are excellently implemented for the main missions, with extensive Game Help available as well. In addition, an FOV slider is a nice plus, as it allows you to customise your experience to how you want to play.Development [ edit ] The developers partnered with franchise creator Dmitry Glukhovsky to create the game's narrative.

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 ] a b Weber, Rachel (13 June 2018).

From your flashlight that helps you see in the dark underground tunnels to the moonlight shining the way for you in the desert, it’s all really well done.

This may not sound like much, but in a game based around stealth, hiding in the dark, and travelling through dimly-lit areas, it really adds an extra level of immersion to the already tense sections. With these optimisations arriving as a free update, there’s no excuse not to revisit what can only be described as a technical masterclass. Batchelor, James (20 February 2020).

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. 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.Not all human survivors are hostile; some may provide valuable information and open up new points of interest, and some may join Artyom's crew. [14] [15] Subtle moral choices in the game provide karma; good karma can be gained by helping non-playable characters, speaking with survivors with Artyom's gun holstered, and sparing enemies who have surrendered. Karma affects the ending the player experiences. [16] Synopsis [ edit ] Setting and characters [ edit ]
