Metro Exodus

The narrative and story is great, the factions you meet upon Artyom's journey is interesting but with the lack of side quests it felt like there was too little action with the factions, making us wanting more of them. The stuff we did get was simply great. The baron in the desert part felt like a good villain but ended up being dealt with too fast. The forest map was my favorite as it felt realistic and a lord of the flies vibe to it which I liked. The Dead City had some serious Metro 2033 vibes which I loved, exploring a hunted metro is what made the predecessors great as the atmosphere was something we had never seen in a game before and they succeeded in creating something new with the outside world, making all the factions different and interesting whilst keeping the tone the same. All chapters were outstanding, getting everything right. The Volga, Yamantau, The Taiga and The Dead City were superb. The Caspian was the only chapter I felt wasn't as high quality but it was still needed and entertaining to play through. Superb game.

Overall the game needed some side quests but we might get some good story DLCs like in the previous installment. They did a marvelous job at creating well written and likeable characters and giving more attention to the returning characters, making them perfect. All characters that you come across are different and great. I played the game like you were supposed to, killing almost no one and I managed to get the good ending which I loved and I don't want to spoil anything but there might be a sequel in the near future? Would be awesome.
