I just played through 2033 and Last Light again for a third or fourth time since their original releases and love both, but I'm now on my second attempt to actually finish Exodus before losing interest because it feels like such a slog to me. I guess I probably ought to finish it now.
lol I could have just refreshed and not wrote almost the exact same take as @Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net
If a game is a slog, don't waste your time on it. Pick up something else that feels fun.
I feel the same way about Exodus. It might be a good game for many people, but it most definitely did not feel like a Metro game. I couldn't get past the second area. It really was a slog.
I actually did manage to finish it, but it gives no added context for the new trailer anyway. I liked the endings but the "morality" system to get them is also the worst of the series, and boils down to whether or not you handle two forced combat/stealth encounters non-lethally unless you go out of your way to kill literal slaves for zero reason or reward. The enemies in those encounters are the same generic ones from the rest of their chapters, and they put that importance on playing non-lethally with 0 non-lethal weapons to use in an FPS. The entire game is half-baked ideas.
I love exploring, so Exodus was perfect for me. The problem is, even after the fourth playthrough, 2033 and LL are still fun purely because of the gunplay/knifeplay, while Exodus has much less combat. So I know all maps, secrets and locations, but there's not that much combat, so I rush through everything.
I finished it and i remembered i didn't like it as much as the previous one because some element of the story doesn't make sense(iirc there's one part where a crewmate decided to stay back because he found someone he love, but then everyone mourn him like he's dead in the next scene). Just rush through the story and take whatever consequences the game throw as you, because to not lose crewmate you need to explore a lot and take the correct path. It take me about 20 hours with some minor exploration to finish it so it's not a really long game, shorter if you just stick to the main story.
Lol I have restarted Exodus 4 times and never made it past the desert map before just becoming increasingly bored with it.
