Metro 3rd installment

Metro Exodus is a first person shooter and the 3rd game in the Metro series (2033 & Last Light). Exodus takes our main character out of the Moscow underground and above, into the world. In this game there is a more open world, non linear feel to the adventure.
*minor spoilers
You will travel by rail through Russia's country side. Taking you to 3 different open world maps along the way. The game play is very good and if you like Metro you will enjoy this one as well. I have played all 3 Metro games on XBox and this is one of the best.
Scavenging is still a must as resources and ammo are in short supply. The variety that the open world gives is a much more free experience. You no longer are forced to fight everything in your path, as there are many paths and options to each target. The radiation and mask/filter use are a bit toned down compared to previous titles, which I actually was thankful for.
Pros-The atmosphere and gameplay are very much enjoyable. Cons-Load times are a bit rough and save points can be a bit challenging.
Overall a great game and would recommend to Metro fans or anyone who enjoys non-twitch shooters.

Metro Exodus is a worthy successor to the original two games. The graphics look good especially on Xbox One X and the audio is on point. The action is great and it has a tense atmosphere. Exploration and resource management are the keys to survival.

The graphics are amazing on this game and the story line is very good. Great game. My only complaint is some control take awhile to get used to and the game is very hard even on normal difficulty.

Amazing graphics on the XBOX 1 X. The story is excellent and the characters are memorable. The combat and exploration is fantastic for a shooter because they have done such a wonderful job with the world, set pieces, and enemies. Shooting isn't as snappy as say Call of Duty or Battlefield but its great for single player and doesn't take away from the overall experience.

Great Xbox game. Story line is engaging. Graphics are top notch. Anyone interested in open world play will enjoy this game. I’m a fan of winter and colder seasons so this game was visually perfect from my perspective. Fun abs entertaining for the right gamer. Highly recommended.

As others have said, it has great graphics and a good story. The shooting is not as responsive as some other games but not enough to take away the enjoyment.

So far, I've been quite impressed with this game. Almost everything has been extremely enjoyable. The story and characters definitely keep you wanting to continue. The graphics are amazing. Gameplay is fun. I have been experiencing a large amount of freezing and crashes though. I'm playing on an Xbox One X and that seems to be a common issue for that particular console. Unfortunate, of course, but I'm expecting them to fix this with a future update so I'm not going to bash what is otherwise a fantastic game. Yet, at least. I am greatly enjoying it so far, when able to play.

I actually double dipped in this game. I own it for the PS4, and bought it again for my Xbox One X for the 4K support. Xbox One version comes with the prequel Metro 2033 for free, so you are getting two games for the price of one. This game has the absolute best graphics for a console game. Story driven. survival horror, methodical first person shooter. This isn't Call of Duty or Destiny, this is slow paced, but extremely well done. I love this game, and you should definitely buy it.

This game is truly a huge evolution for the series. This is a stunning story driven survival FPS. It incorporates the previous survival gameplay elements with sandbox open world gameplay for a truly refreshing take on the series. Graphically one of the best games on the market, and it plays as good as it looks. A must play, even if you've never played a Metro game before.

I purchased Metro Exodus on PC, but being unable to find a GPU in today's market, yet having found an Xbox Series X, I grabbed this game. Pre-patch this game ran very well, but lacked some of the more ambitious ray-traced lighting effects and shadowing of it's more advanced PC counterpart. With the patch installed the game runs at just under 4K (somewhere between 1600 and 1800p). But the biggest enhancement is the how much more realistic characters and the environments look with ray tracing. The game is still equally as performant, running at 60fps, and is a great shooter and example of what the Series consoles are capable of. Well that is until the new Unreal Engine 5 games start coming out as soon as next year. All around if you are a fan of the Metro series, or like me didn't really dive into the series until this game, I highly recommend grabbing this game. On clearance this game is a great value, but consider the Series X edition that already has the patch included on disc as well as all of the extra DLC if you are interested in the extended story and levels.

If you're a fan of the Metro series up this point, then you're in luck as this conclusion to the post-apocalyptic series based on the novels delivers in spades. Although there are a few bugs here or there, the new open world to explore shows how far the series has come since its more linear days with Metro 2033 on the Xbox 360. Highly recommend for fans of shooters, stealth, or great story.

I’ve played the 2 previous metro games and this one is still as good. Besides the graphics being one of the cleanest in the series the gameplay is a little slow. Movement is slow and combat is slow. I thought it could be faster when aiming and shooting multiple enemies. Just seems a little off. Once you get use to the pace of the game it’s a great adventure with more gameplay than the previous games.

The best of the Metro Series

This is the best of the Metro series. It shifts from the sci-fi/supernatural theme to a straight shooter in a Dystopian Future. Character development is more in-depth here and choices you make affect the ending. Lots of open world exploring, customizable weapons, etc. Graphics and sound are also outstanding.
