Man, what a ride. Metro Exodus takes everything great about the series and cranks it up. Leaving the tunnels and heading out into the open world felt fresh but still kept that intense Metro atmosphere. The graphics were stunning, and every area felt unique and alive. The story really hit me, especially the bond between Artyom and his wife—he’d seriously go through hell and back for her, and you feel that the whole way through. I ended up playing through it multiple times just to see all the endings, and the DLCs were awesome too, definitely worth it. Got 100% achievements again because I just couldn’t stop playing. If you're into story-driven shooters with heart and atmosphere, this one’s a no-brainer.
