When Artyom first ventures in the Volga when he is above he will see many of the familiar Metro creatures in their natural habitat. Missions still exist where success is achieved when every hostile is eliminated but not everything needs to be taken out. The general pacing is such where the story unravels at the proper speed to remain engaging but doesn’t show its hand prematurely.Īs is the traditional case with Metro titles, the finite quantity of ammo and other resources is a point of consideration in one’s exploration and opening up the world makes this even more relevant. Diaries, journal entries and tape recorders are hidden throughout the game that can provide insight on life after the war.
The lore built in the previous two titles continues here and as the game progresses the player will have the events of the world revealed to them through the various characters they meet. Metro titles have previously had interesting stories and this continues with Metro Exodus. Long story short, Artyom, Anna and a small group of Spartans end up hijacking a train traveling into the outside world to see what life exists outside of the confines of the metro, where their adventure will take them to many new locations and encounter countless dangers. The downside with uncovering any government sanctioned lie is one needs to vacate their residency due to suddenly appearing on a lot of powerful officials’ kill list. Artyom is searching for a radio beacon for signs of civilization outside the metro station, and despite having no one believe him, it turns out he was correct in his theory all along. The story begins with Artyom and Anna exploring some of the areas above the surface. We aren’t talking an open world and side quests on the scale of Skyrim or anything huge like that, but having more freedom and open world to explore is a breath of irradiated fresh air. Artyom can also freely explore the map and discover secrets on his own. NPCs will give Artyom optional quests to fulfill, such as retrieving a prized childhood toy.
METRO LAST LIGHT KARMA FREE
What’s different from previous titles is while this mission structure is still in place, the player is free to explore the map to their choosing. This is still a Metro title where game progression is heavily story driven and there is a linear progression to the end of the game. The scope of what remains of civilization is much greater in Metro Exodus and the exploration of this revelation is told over a story that occurs over the course of a year with changing seasons.īeing free from the underground train system opens up a larger area to explore.
Historically the bulk of the previous Metro titles take place underground while Metro Exodus makes an early escape from the confines of the familiar setting to explore what is left above ground, and this includes an exhilarating mission involving a high speed train chase. Metro Exodus deviates from the previous titles in some rather significant ways both in narrative and gameplay. Artyom is one of these people and in Metro Exodus he steps out of the claustrophobic corridors of the metro station to venture out into the world. But not all long-standing beliefs are true and some believe there may still be civilization outside of Moscow. The commonly-held belief in the metro was the war wiped out most of the world’s population, save for the 50,000 or so survivors living underground. Most of the action in these games took place below the surface, with only the occasional venture above ground to trek through the irradiated mutant-infested world. Combining FPS action with stealth and some survival horror elements, the Metro games took players to bleak post-apocalyptic world in Russia’s underground metro station based on the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light were among the more compelling first-person shooters released over the course of the past decade.
