After years of leaks, a canceled 2022 build, and more than one round of “is it still happening?” community anxiety, Metro 2039 is real and we are days away from seeing it properly. Xbox Wire confirmed the game this morning, with 4A Games and Deep Silver set to host a dedicated world premiere reveal on […]

Neat I never finished the train one. Maybe I should go back and play it.
 
I just finished my umpteenth replay of Exodus this past weekend and will probably do the DLC missions this weekend. Can't wait until this comes out and might end up doing replays of the first two again (lost track of how times I've played them). The catch with the first two is that the original releases have different NPC character models which many fans prefer but the "redux" versions do offer technical fixes/updates and complete versions with all DLC.
 
What I've noticed over the years are that when it comes to these types of games is that players are somewhat split into either Metro or Stalker games and usually folks who like one type don't like the other as much but that's not necessarily always true and there can be more to it than that when it comes to Exodus.

There has been, however, fairly significant changes from each Metro game to the next and Exodus was more drastically different than either of the first two. I'm mixed on some of those changes but I felt its DLC helped re-balance it since each added more underground content and story. I thought Sam's story was especially great and would love to see more content detailing him finally making it back home.

I can't remember which, either the 1st or 2nd game had some DLC with other characters but it's been so long that I don't even remember what that was. I really need to go back and check those out again.
 
I have not played any of the previous Metro games or any Stalker. I rely on my spidey senses to decide which games are for me and which aren't, and those were telling me to avoid them until Exodus. The exact reason I was interested in Exodus was because it promised not to be underground. And it was the underground parts in it that I liked the least.
 
Got it. Totally misunderstood, as many of the posts I've seen in other places are the opposite in praising the underground aspects of the first two, and or comparing it against Stalker. So fair enough, even without those comparisons, I'm aware there are many who didn't like Exodus as much. I enjoyed it but could easily identify the many differences in its approach vs the previous games.
 
I'm not saying it was a bad game or that I disliked it. A 6/10 is a solid score, I enjoyed even some 4/10 games.
