I have always been a fan of Metro games, seeing the trailer for Metro Exodus got me so excited and that excitement was justified. The game is incredible in so many ways.
The story looks like the storyline from previous Metro games but after the 1st level it's clear this is nothing like the previous Metro games. Being able to roam around the surface for so long and exploring it is great change from those claustrophobic metro tunnels. Seeing all the different regions in Russia from deserts to snowy cities. Story really takes you on a ride because the characters are so well made. They have a personality, they have a backstory and they have something to fight for. When you make a wrong choice it keeps haunting for quite some time because the absence of that character is noticeable. Also the ending will make even the manliest of men cry, it's just so touching.
Soundtrack in this game is amazing, I actually listen to its soundtrack off game because it's so good. The music brings so much to this game. When time is running low you and you hear the music your heart start racing and you expect the worst or when the intense fight begins and you hear that intense music that makes you want to just start shooting all the enemies.
Another amazing aspect of this game is its replayability, there are few different ending and that's just one big reason to replay the game. Then there's the New Game + mode where you can modify your game and make it even more difficult and cruel. The game mechanics in this game are quite similar to the previous Metro games. You can customize your guns and you have to use your gas mask every now and then. The gas mask is an unique element and when you have to put it on and you get attacked and it breaks you know you have to act quickly.
Overall I absolutely loved this game. It's beautiful, it's enjoyable to play, it's scary and it's touching. So if you are looking for a long journey play all the Metro games because that's the only way you're going to enjoy this game to its maximum potential.
