METRO EXODUS - Complete Edition (PS5)

Product Information

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3. Makuch, Eddie (18 February 2022).

The game was the slowest loading game I ever played on PS4. It also felt like 20-25fps. I couldn't get past the second chapter. I took it as another lost cause. As the name suggests, it is time to leave the underground that has housed our characters for some time, into a country that has been ruined by the war. Breathable air is hard to come by, and our main protagonist in Metro Exodus dreams of living somewhere where that is no longer an issue. Convinced that this dream can become a reality, he talks his wife, his father-in-law and a crew of soldiers into venturing out with him into the unknown.

If you are tired of political correctness and alertness, this game will definitely heal you. It's been a while since I ate raw meat. Brown, Fraser (28 January 2020).

Like Control, this game is living proof that we needed a new gen of consoles. This has to be one of the greatest titles of last gen and I've been waiting for this since I got my ps5Metro Exodus takes the series open world". MCVUK. 12 June 2017.

The game does my favourite DualSense feature where footsteps feel different depending on the surface you are walking on, but it also adds resistance to the Adaptive Triggers when you pump pneumatic weapons. The more they are pumped, the harder they are to press down, which is a thrilling touch, especially when you are in the middle of a fight. MattyHammo nope, this was the first one I played and beat as well. what a amazing experience i thought for sure this game was going to get GOTY but sadly it didn't. Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice won it that year and while a decent game IMO Exodus was much greater. a b Mozuch, Mo (26 June 2018). "Why 'Metro: Exodus' Ditched the Fetch Quest". Newsweek.

Other moments that made my jaw drop were just how fast the load times of the game are on PS5. With waiting periods of more than 2 minutes on PS4, every loading screen in the game is now below one minute, with most lasting no longer than 20 seconds, which is a huge improvement and achievement for a game of the size, detail, and scale as Metro Exodus. If you own the game on the PS4 or Xbox One (physically or digitally) then you get the PS5 or Xbox Series upgrade for free. Kerr, Chris (25 January 2023).

Even the manner in which the reflections are approximated (as it isn’t mirrored reflections, it’s all still already rendered scenes being remapped onto another surface) looks a lot better. Granted, it isn’t totally accurate in terms of reflecting data that is otherwise obscured, it is a far closer facsimile than we saw on the Xbox One X. nessisonett Absolutely, Exodus really came out of left field for me to how good it was. I mean I liked the first two, but Exodus just felt so immersive; really looking forward to this free upgrade.

Metro Exodus PS5 Review

Comparison photos included are from Digital Foundry’s breakdown comparing Metro Exodus on both Xbox One X and Xbox Series X.

I had the PS4 Digital version of the game installed on my PS5, but I just saw that you need the disc version of this game to get the free upgrade and play the game with the ps4 disc inserted. ShogunRok strange that the ray tracing isn't mentioned in the review, I know people like to associate it with reflections but the way its used here is just as impressive and hopefully we'll see more games take this approach Hall, Charlie (26 March 2021). "Metro Exodus is getting a new game plus mode, developer commentary, and more". Polygon. Archived from the original on 22 June 2023 . Retrieved 23 June 2023.O'Connor, James (14 August 2019).

Beyond that, the Enhanced Edition's visual feature set on PlayStation 5 is entirely consistent with what we saw on Xbox Series X. It has the same level of detail, the same suite of ray traced effects, and the same trades up against the PC version. Even the limited variable rate shading support (used only on forward rendered elements of the presentation) is identical - though the implementation of it on consoles does not necessarily require hardware support. Similar to the VRS used in Call of Duty: Warzone, what we're seeing here can be achieved through exploiting the multi-sample anti-aliasing hardware within the GPU. And it is a bit of a shame that the full Tier Two VRS implementation isn't used on any rendition of the game, not even PC. Temporal upscaling is also used to deliver a decent-looking 4K presentation: internal resolution is lower, but detail is accumulated across frames and incorporated into the one currently rendered. I will admit, while the premise is interesting, it took me a while to get into the story. The writing isn’t bad. In most cases, it is very good. But Metro Exodus suffers from pacing – especially with the long-winded conversations that are happening around you. I say around you because you are completely mute, even though in the loading screen your character is talking out loud about what he is writing in his journal. Judge, Alysia (6 September 2019).
