The first-person survival video game for PS4, Xbox One and PC developed by 4A Games will come with the most ambitious adventure so far, keeping the good of the previous and taking advantage of the possibilities offered by open worlds.

In 2010 Metro 2033 was published, an action adventure with great atmosphere and a lot of personality in which the survivors take refuge from the mutants. And now there is less and less to enjoy the third installment of the saga, the long-awaited Metro Exodus that has been developed in two venues, 4A Games Ukraine and 4A Games Malta, by a team of more than 150 people. This delivery takes place in post-apocalyptic Russia, based on the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, and the most ambitious of the saga. Having as official release date this next February 15.

Although many shooters have been played, including a sequel, the 4A Games proposal is still unique. The most remarkable feature of this third installment is that the anguished tunnels of the Moscow Metro will be abandoned and you can travel all over Russia aboard the Aurora, a huge train where you can travel with other fellow adventurers. In this way you can visit different locations, which will be one of its strengths, the variety of settings and settings. From frozen areas to deserts and forests, each world having its particularities, with different types of enemies, such as mutant creatures, sects and wild animals, weather conditions and even vehicles.

In a very advanced beta version we have found three levels called, Volga, Caspian and Taiga. These are three open, non-linear scenarios totally disconnected from each other, which will be visited consecutively as the plot progresses. The two largest have been explored are the snowy and desert area, which each can offer about 6 hours of play, everything will depend on the time spent to explore the locations or the difficulty in playing . On the other hand, the third scenario is set in a mountain and forest area, which has a more linear structure.

Metro Exodus takes place during the year 2035, in different parts of the continent. With the snowy plains on the outskirts of Moscow and a completely new map in the Caspian basin, now turned into a desert. It would be a fascinating journey, but not everything will be as easy as it seems, since in all these environments are full of bands of savages, mutant creatures and sects. At the moment it is unknown how many scenarios it will have in total, However, the team of 4A Games have revealed that it has a size comparable to that of the first two games together.

Maps

Metro Exodus has a completely clean interface. To know where to go, you should take the map and consult it, without even having a list of missions, only indicates what will be the next objective to continue the story. Without forgetting the secondary missions and optional zones in which to find extra resources, something that is of vital importance in a game like this, where ammunition and objects are scarce. All these places will be indicated on the map when speaking with characters.

Elements of survival

The great beneficiaries of the open scenarios are the elements of survival, since having little ammunition the player must make objects and explore thoroughly if his intention is to survive, should be protected from radiation and all kinds of harmful substances which will force you to use the gas mask, or keep the weapons as they deteriorate. To all this we will add another difficulty with the appearance of storms that are generated at any time and a cycle of day and night that changes the rules of the game.

Exploring abandoned houses or vehicles would be the best option, since there will always be something to be obtained, however, the player should have excessive caution because in some occasions dozens of monsters appear, which would make the experience difficult, causing a sense of danger and constant threat . Metro Exodus manages to transmit better the feeling of survival adventure than other games.

Action in the video game

In this release the action will be very similar to the previous Metro, however, will have the option to solve many of the situations with stealth, something that makes sense in this release to have to move through broad scenarios, offering more strategic possibilities, in addition to having a great variety of fully customizable weapons.

Scenarios

Each scenario offers its own peculiarities, with different types of monsters and enemies, an example can be: the desert scenario, in which are very dangerous bears, poisonous snakes, wolves in the mountains, among other creatures. In addition to this, each location has its own stories and narrative, with some characters or allies, and even at some point you can make decisions that will have their consequences. Although this installment is based on an open world, different from what was offered by the previous Metro, the game is also full of linear sections and scripted by dungeons and terrifying zones.

Platforms

Metro Exodus can be run on Xbox One X and PC with Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Ti video card. In both cases at 4K resolution and with a very stable frame rate. However, the game will also be released on PlayStation 4, with improvements in PS4 Pro.

Visually speaking the setting is one of its strongest points, since it has a very successful art direction and a lot of details in the scenarios.

However, being a test version, the graphics engine presents some problems with the loading of textures, in terms of physics and animations is not up to the visual referents of the generation, since it looks a bit old-fashioned .

Undoubtedly Metro Exodus will be a great action and adventure game very interesting to interpret by offering open worlds and keeping everything good from previous deliveries. This saga has become one of the most beloved by the video game industry.

We remember that the title will go on sale this February 15 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows, being one of the most interesting and expected games of this 2019.
