[@WorthABuyreviews]

Glad to be back, thanks for all the support, am not back to full capacity but the odd review here and there is great to get me back up to speed (a reasonable speed this time). I felt a bit rusty doing this and I know the first 2 mins are a bit unclear but it's a review under my belt so am happy. All my reviews are unscripted so I rely totally on thinking on my feet as to what am about to say, my head is still a bit cloudy :)

[@warman]

Hope you are doing better. So, the same as all the metro games before I guess!

Welcome back Mack!

I know its stupid but i really enjoyed the gas mask gameplay of the first two games, something about wiping the moisture and swapping filters and whatnot was gratifying for some reason 😆

[@garywagers9157]

It’s in exodus as well

[@SUBZERO-rd5oq]

I would say it's a really cool and immersive mechanic.

[@jordanfox6354]

@@garywagers9157 yeah but I kinda don't like that you don't remove the old filter like the first 2, you just tack on a new one.

[@sheeplord4976]

@@garywagers9157 yeah, but the fact that you don't have to find new masks in exodus and the lack of mask gameplay kinda ruins it. I wonder how the DLCs handled it.

[@SagaciousNihilist]

@@sheeplord4976 That's justified with a repair system/crafting, which even lets you add different mods to it, the odds of finding a new mask with working filter is less realistic than repairing the one you have and crafting your own filters with raw materials, especially since most of the regions your visit are clean, which is also a core plot point in the narrative of the story, except of course for the last region.

[@Zotk7]

Haven't heard any other reviews mention those bad points, that's why we're here! Great review as always.

Yeah true but watch some times he gives a review on a game that’s just way too biased. His prey review was amazing but then you got his Dying Light review that just terrible.

[@slimburg1]

Same here i don't trust these other sellouts

[@thecoldrussain8548]

I found the first mission (Volga) a nice introduction to what I need to expect , open map. Exploration and basic level. Bunker : Nice excuse to spray bullets Caspian : A nice immersive change of atmosphere Taiga : Now the atmosphere was beautiful but the boss fight was very underwhelming personally, the mission if it needed 20-30 minutes early would have hooked me at the perfect time but it is what it is . The last mission , for me was beautiful, brought me right back to the first two metro games . Linear , scary , stealth , dark and metro tunnels . Started Moscow , mid game was open maped, ended with a return to the core and original features of metro . Beautiful ending for me , brought the character developments together and nice possible ending for a possible sequel

[@anonamoutsxc]

“hold E to play game” never bothered me until I watched these reviews and now all of mac’s pet peeves are my pet peeves 😂 X-ray vision, 4 second cutscenes, no control, key binding, it all bothers me now

Nice to see you're so easily influenced.

[@HenryTownsmyth]

@@Rizlack Mac ruined my games for me too but fortunately now closer to the truth. :) I first watched his Arkham Knight video and thought he was a troll until I completed the game and watched it again and agreed with him.

[@Rizlack]

@@HenryTownsmyth There are many bad games out there. None of the Arkham games fall into that category. I'm sorry you didn't dig it. It wasn't my favorite in the series either, but it wasn't a BAD game. Quite well made actually. If you decide what is good and what is bad because of what someone else says, you need to reevaluate yourself. Think for yourself and have your own opinions. Don't be a follower and don't be so easily influenced.

[@StrengthScholar0]

@@Rizlack I 100%(ed) Arkham City. The batmobile in Arkham Knight was so shit I didn't get 10 hours into the game before shutting it off for good. A game can be brilliantly designed and have many great aspects to it but one glaring and pervasive flaw can turn what would have been a masterpiece into a objectively bad game.

[@lwaves]

Yep. I put QTE's in the same camp as rubberbanding for racing games. It's a lazy programming to avoid doing it properly.

[@whiteymcflightey]

I didn't finish Crysis 2, an otherwise decent fps, because the very last thing you do in the game is a QTE. Spam Q to crawl out of the burning whatever. I just turned it off. Insulting.

[@lwaves]

@@deanfromhungary Playing with a controller makes no difference. Pressing a button is the same as pressing a key. It doesn't make the QTE better.

I agree but its not as bad in ranger hardcore/deep dive which imo in the only way to play metro

[@העבד]

Its kind of cool to see people footage of the game, and how playing the game at a different time of the day makes the gameplay so unique, I played the entire forest section at night- it was so different than how everything looks during the day.

[@MakoRuu]

Animated in-game cut scenes are easier than programming actual mechanics, Mack. It's lazy.

[@Rave-agent]

This is the truth. Not anything to do with 'lazy console port' though.

[@Alexander-zt9kz]

MakoRuu it's true, especially since these devs use their own engine, it's not like unreal 4 where it wold be easier to look at code and implement it from there.

[@ShadowRomeo1784]

Metro Exodus is actually a PC Port. It is originally developed for PC then ported on Console.

[@ShadowRomeo1784]

And also i have heard that there is some input lag problems on Consoles and lots of Motion blur that it kind of ruins the immersion of the game. Not a problem for me since i played at 1080p - 1440p Extreme, Ultra settings 60+ FPS.

[@jordanfox6354]

It is a little weird. 4A might not of been able to give him proper dialogue outside of that at first and just backed themselves into a corner. But its fine, having a protagonist that is an actual mute. That and it fits the whole theme of the series, that actions speak louder then words.

I have a guilty pleasure and it's these kind of cutscenes :P The way Artyom gets jumped by [spoiler] near the beginning and the thrusts his [spoiler] into the [spoiler] followed by him nearly [spoiler] but getting [spoiler] just in time by [spoiler] who then bring him back to base? You cannot pull something that cinematic off any other way than through a cutscene. I gladly tap E for a few seconds for those glorious moments.

[@thesheeepjd]

Keep 'em coming. But keep 'em coming slowly, at your own pace!

[@johnm91326]

Those cut scenes are probably the world loading in the background. Better than a loading screen *cough anthem cough*.

[@haemorrhage666]

Just watched it again. I'm not through the game yet, but about the criticism with the lights, that the enemies don't see you. On my Monitor, with the right Gamma Settings: You can't see shit either. You need the flashlighht or the NV Goggles. And I felt pretty immersed by that. Try it if you get to play it again sometime. :) Also, the enemies normally don't get more health in a Metro Game on harder, especially ranger mode, but you get lots less ammo and resources and are easier to kill. Loved the Video. Have a great day!

[@WorthABuyreviews]

You can one shot them on easy with pretty much any weapon but on hardcore you can see it takes a few body shots, not sure about head shots I am too shit these days to hit moving heads lol

[@kjaesp]

[@NeliusSan]

Yea the whole cutscene thing does take away from the immersion quite a bit. I just started the game this morning before work and I'm kind of disappointed about that stuff already. It does seem pretty badass for the most part . But my only real issue that isnt so bad is simply not knowing where the hell to go. But that also opens up my love for random exploration. Because I like to find every possible thing ever. Turn over every rock and go around every corner. Which sucks once you accidentally advance too far to go back before searching that one door you decided you'd come back to.

The original Metro 2033 actually had decent AI, but they decided to dumb it down immensely for the Redux and sequels. Sneaking was ridiculously hard too, so in the Redux they made it piss easy with totally blind enemies like in Last Light. Oh, and the game expects you to not go on a killing spree for the good ending, but there's still no 'drag and hide bodies' option...

Good review, honestly thought the game would annoy you to no end because its clunky as all hell. Some things that annoyed me -game crashing 5-6 times throughout my playthrough -initial loading screens 2-3 minutes long -the sensitivity on console is quite fucked, but I got used to it after some hours. -the removal of ammo as currency, it made me feel like I didn't have to survive as much. -sounds are either completely missing or just broken -dialogue is bad, like it sounds so fake when each person is talking over another. It's more like they are not talking with eachother but at eachother in an unnatural way -Each story beat was quite predictable and generic -floating enemies -getting stuck in stuff Theres quite a few more. Before anyone has a go at me, I love the game despite its flaws and understand not everyone gets the same issues on any given playthrough.

Maybe one that gets you across the pond.

[@jameswayton2340]

I actually liked the first area a lot more then the desert area.

[@GlennM53]

I think the small, hold E, cut scenes could be small hidden load screens. Great to see you well enough to be reviewing again. Don't push yourself! Take it easy, if in doubt just ring the bell 🛎

[@actualmastermind]

You forgot to mention how the main character you are playing with is mute and he doesn't say a damn thing the whole time. It is sooooo annoying hearing everyone kissing Artyom's butt the whole time of the game. Uncle Artyom uncle Artyom, so damn annoying. How come no one calls him "buddy" "man" "pal"? Not even his wife, what kind of wife calls her husband the whole time by his name instead of "honey" "baby" "sweetheart" so freakin annoying.

[@ps5gamer86]

Completely agree with you there

[@lapsedilationdrive3943]

They are living in a post apocalyptic setting where every step they make and every new locations they discovered will always post unexpected dangers so why do you think they should address each other with those unneccessary cheesy name callings? Theres no time for rainbow and sunshines as their only concern is to survive using whatever they can find.

[@pupelee]

Awesome review, you put the dot in the i!!! Giving us all the info we need to decide if it's worth a buy! Thank you and glad to see you back and feeling better!

[@Greybeard101]

I have become old and picky! I am no longer willing to put up with a game that does things for me. Metro 2033 was one of the first games that made me realize how far FPSs had fallen. Story is no substitute for "doing stuff". Or gameplay as I like to think of it. STALKER is an obvious comparison to the Metro games but in STALKER you get dumped in an open world/map and the game lets you sort it out from there. I'm playing an indie game called "Desolate" at the moment. It's very much in the STALKER/Metro mould. The graphics are middling, the combat is clunky and the voice acting dodgy. But I choose where to go, what to do and how to do it. I'll take that over the gloss of Metro every time. P.S. It's great to have you back but don't push it. We can wait.

[@post-apocalypticcomingsoon1625]

And stalker has mods up the wazoo, and great mods at that. I always find it a bit offensive when people compared Metro to Stalker. Not even in the same league.

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 its a different genre, Metro is more for people that want more of a movie / walking simulator, its not COD buddy ☺️

[@post-apocalypticcomingsoon1625]

Metro 2033 was alright, it felt like a survival game when you played ranger hardcore and I liked that a lot. What killed the game(and the series) for me were the numerous cut-scenes every three steps you took and that press E to avoid dying stuff. It killed immersion completely. But the feeling of dread and world was very well done. When you come out of the Metro the first time with Bourbon and look around the city, it was impressive as hell and only made you wish you could explore more of it.

[@Greybeard101]

@@MrSamadolfo I do agree. The term "action adventure" is often used for this kind of game and I do see why people like them. Neither do I consider CoD to be the shining example of the FPS genre. The single player campaigns are no better than Metro and there is more to FPSs than players running around one-shotting each other on a multi-player map. My problem is that these kinds of games have become the norm for the genre. I'm thinking back to single player FPSs like Half-Life, FEAR and STALKER. They put the emphasis on action while telling their story through the gameplay. If you have a few quid/euros/bucks to spare and love FPSs, then I highly recommend an indie game called "DUSK" to see what I mean. The best pure FPS I've played for a long time. Simple graphics and no cut scenes, just perfectly designed levels for combat that also tell the story as you progress. But, nowadays, that's the exception rather than the rule.

[@MrSamadolfo]

@@Greybeard101 🙂 action adventure, yes thats what i prefer myself, thats probably why i like the metro trilogy, ive never seen dusk, yes it does look like quake but its like a survival horror campaign game, neat idea✌️😏

[@rainbowstalin594]

Bad points seem more personal and nitpicky than actual bad points. Most people won't care about key bindings and pressing E handful of times to crawl somewhere, it's just a game tbh.

[@piotr78]

Its just a game? What does that even mean in a review about the game

[@mikeryan1043]

So what? Reviews are always subjective

[@hulyn1]

I'm so disappointed in this game so far. I've bought ALL the metros and they were a blast. But his one.... The first hour or so of play is cut scenes. I came close to stopping because of it. When I buy a game, I want to play the game, not watch a movie!!!! And the AI is soooooo dumb!!! Like you said, they can't seem to see you. Several times, while crouching, I stepped out where one should have seen me, but didn't. Have had no trouble killing all the baddies. Only time I've died, is falling or drowning. Not been killed by AI yet and I'm playing Hard option. Why are they making games so easy these days??? That's why I quit the Farcry series. In Farcry5, I'd take a bow and wipe out a whole Outpost in a matter of minutes and never be seen. That was on the hardest difficulty. Anyway, Metro is fun as far as the creatures and sneaking around. Like one commenter said, cutscenes are lazy. No mechanics to program. And it's sad, 2 series (Metro and Farcry) that I've been a loyal fan of, bought every game in the series and really looked forward to playing, in the newest releases they've let us down. (I didn't get the latest Farcry). I'll most likely not buy another Metro.

[@hulyn1]

My previous comment, I was only in the second chapter. Now I just finished Summer. Once you get thru the first part with all the cutscenes, it gets good! The AI is still weird - shooting me thru thick concrete walls, seeing me while I'm most certainly hidden, looking straight at me and not seeing me - weird! But the game is fun!!! Alot to do, alot of sneaking around, the story is great, the areas are rather large with alot of places to discover. Quite a few jump scares, that make it fun. Metro still has my loyalty. I'll buy the next one, if there is one.

[@wakkjobbwizard]

hulyn1 you should’ve waited to say something but I actually agree completely on the far cry thing. I stopped playing after far cry 5. It was just awful.

[@yurimodin7333]

glad you are back at it Mack :) I had a nervous breakdown/super anxiety attack about 9 years ago. They got me on a pill once a day and I have been good ever since. Just take your time, one day at a time bro :)

[@zerotactix5739]

I didn't find this game immersive one bit. IT was slow and boring, riddled with cutscenes and long talk sequences. Playing on Ranger Hardcore and have to memorize enemy spawns. No room for skill.

[@herodotus63]

Keybinding is the reason I gave it away, but it was the same in "W40K: Space Marine". Changing the keys to what I wanted was not an issue but in game the messages were like "Press ? to roll", which really p'ed me off. Reminded me that “Space Marine” only scored around the 50% positive mark from all reviewers AND players on release. BTW: Weapons rusting was introduced in "Farcry 3", and it was a great mechanic in the game. Nowhere near a workshop? Shoot your piece of crap till it falls apart, pick up a dead enemy's gun andf get around a clip worth's of value till you fight your way, or run over everyone to a workshop.

[@evo5055]

Haha! the game ran out of Steam LOL!

[@TerraWare]

Welcome back Mack. Had me worried there. Right after I built me a spanking new gaming pc to replace my 6 year old gaming laptop too. Don’t really care for Metro 🚇 but I have a feeling that not many reviewers will bring these issues up because it isn’t popular to do so.

[@TheBlackswanwhite]

to me this is best fps since half life 2,glad to see u back

Did you play Prey (2016)?

Same here. Best fps I played in a while.

[@aofh666]

"Spamming a single key to win a fight needs to be illegal"... FarCry3 memories flashes in my mind. Good to see you back mack, keep a slow paced, friend

[@HappyDude1]

also a lot of crashes in directx 12 And the fps that can go from 150 to 50 ... The AI is awfull indeed The game was fun thow:) And i have to say far cry new dawn is better

[@ironsharkpa1026]

Lol no.

[@ShooshedGamer]

It was created on pc and then ported to console.

[@Sasasala386]

Lol wtf are you saying? Just disable d12 in that case. There's no noticeable difference between the two of them. Did not get a single fps drop moment using dx 11. You just probably can't take time to adjust the settings to your PC correctly.

[@ShadowRomeo1784]

Far Cry New Dawn was boring for me to be honest. And Metro Exodus was phenomenal and i really got hooked up to it till the ending. I played Far Cry New Dawn after that, and then my first impression is.. Villains sucks, characters sucks, story, writing sucks and cringy as hell... Gunplay is quite fast but smooth (Maybe i just got used on slow pacing of Metro Exodus). But the game is quite fun to play actually especially with a friend. But that's about it, and for me that is not enough. So Metro Exodus is a far better game for me with it's immersive world design, great story, Immersive gunplay, slow pacing that takes its time, character development. One of the best games of 2019 that i have played along with Resident Evil 2 Remake.

[@joeseabreeze]

Almost every game I've tried using dx12 crashes lol

[@dukem991]

Watching all your old reviews enjoying them more and more. Its great that you don't just rubber stamp your reviews and love it love it love it. The game has to earn its higher score. Cheers keep up the great work

@kim Dierichsen 🤠 ok matey 🐴

[@Thedownliner2015]

@kim Dierichsen I doubt you've actually played this game to think its all cutscenes.

[@Thedownliner2015]

You mean like when crouching under things? Yes they can be annoying but not really a deal breaker.

[@Thedownliner2015]

@kim Dierichsen What about the sheer number of things you have to remember with all the various controls? You even have a control set for wiping your mask lol. Then you have the nightvision, lighter, crafting pack, etc. That must count for something against the spamming :) You even have to charge your torch lol.

[@Warhawk_]

The fence!!I thought it was me.. after 4 arrows I realised it wasn't going to happen. So funny you had the same problem.

[@sudd3660]

i have to say mac, you did not get into the worst part of this game. even at 120fps there is motion blur and mouse input lag, i tried editing the config file but it did not help much. this game is unplayable, i uninstalled it quickly, piece of garbage game.

[@MrBurtbackerack]

Thats a bit hyperbolic. There is definitely some annoying sensitivity/input lag going on but when you are playing a game like Metro where you don't need to 360 no scope and run and gun. It is 50x worse on console, but you get used to it after a few hours. It definitely needs fixing, but it doesn't instantly make the game garbage

[@yosharian]

This is what happens when you develop for consoles. My 144hz ultrawide is disappointed to hear this. Maybe once it releases next year modders will have fixed it?

[@ironsharkpa1026]

Sounds more like your pc is garbage and not the game.

[@Darqion]

Opinions are grand, aren't they. Some people flip their shit when controls feel bad, others deal with it. I dont feel its unreasonable to pass on a game if the sensitivity and input lag are bad enough.

[@GATERISTIC]

this game is consoled based,at 30 fps it can run stable without issues at high settings,any fps higher,you get stuttering and all kinds of fps problems.

[@Mahmauscher]

Holding E to crouch or squeeze through things is just there so the engine can have a few seconds to load the new area without having to go through a loading screen.

[@Bendaak]

M. Farid No, it’s part of the gameplay mechanics. It doesn’t bother me though, I prefer animations as they make the game feel more immersive for me.
