"It's Just a Game" - Metro Exodus Edition [+DLC]

This video contain spoilers of Metro Exodus and it's DLC's.
Metro Exodus is one of the best games I've ever played and it's much more than just a game. This is a long story full of heartbreaking moments. And I think that games are the same part of our lives like books and films.
And as always, I hope you will enjoy this video.

When Miller took a moment to sit down next to colonel Khlebnikov's body and spoke openly about his feelings and regrets at the end of the two colonels. That hit pretty hard. Especially knowing he will later sacrifice himself to save Artyom. It's sad, though, that he had all of these things he needed to say to the people he loved but, because he viewed emotion and vulnerability as a weakness, the only person he felt comfortable opening up to was a dead one.

[@MAX00110]

To me this wasn’t a game. But a journey.

[@misha.2077]

Long comment incoming! (edit: typos) Metro Exodus has become my most favorite game of all time. Firstly if anyone is thinking of playing it for the first time or replaying it, switch the audio language to Russian or Ukrainian, It enhances the atmosphere and immersion 10-fold. The game is absolutely phenomenal and I wish I could play it for the first time again. It was back during the pandemic lockdown and it hit extra hard. The world, the story, the characters and the adventure, everything just inspired so much emotion. I sadly got the bad ending on my first playthrough and I won't lie, I cried like an absolute bitch. No fictional piece of media has ever made me do that before. I usually don't get attached to video game characters or really get fully immersed into games, but boy oh boy did Exodus change that. Not even the Witcher made me feel that connected to the characters and game world. Whenever I leave the game for awhile and come back to it, it always manages to inspire me all over again. Absolute magic The books and the games are a story of determination to find hope in a world where the odds are stacked against you. Even the dev team at 4A who made these games had to go through some serious challenges to make things happen. Their studio was without power and heat many times and was nearly shelled by the rebels during the development of Last Light and a good portion of Exodus because of the previous civil war in Ukraine. Its a miracle the game even happened. And I'm so glad it did. Artyom found lake Baikal where he can raise a family free from darkness and radiation of the Metro, the folks at 4A Games found Malta where they can make games without fear of sudden death. Life imitates art and I hope I too can one day find my "Lake Baikal". Keep fighting the good fight, fellow Spartans! Whatever your battle is. "If not us, then who?"

[@crive3349]

I don't even know how much I would pay or what I can do to go back in time and restart the game totaly blind about the story, seriously when I played the first 2 chapters long ago on ps3 when I was a child I couldn't never expect such an incredible ending of the saga. Is such a shame to see (in my country at least) so many big content creators which don't give a chance to this big game just because is not a conventional fps which give them the numbers, gaming should be seen as a form of art from professional people of this field imo. Grats for all the 4A games devs for the revolution they've bring to us in the last decade.
