If you haven't played this series of games, then I sincerely feel sorry for you. It seems to me that all, absolutely all gamers from the post-Soviet space should have games from this series in their collection.
Firstly, these games simply perfectly convey the atmosphere that only people from the former Soviet states will understand. I, as a Georgian, tell you this with a 100% guarantee. These streets, these stations, this interior and everything else are so well conveyed that you are immersed in the game.
In Metro Exodus, the plot is painfully simple, but at the same time deep, exciting and heartbreaking. The characters in the game are written so accurately that it seems as if you have known them for a hundred years and know everything about them. It feels like you are all one big family, which is what makes the game so unforgettable.
The relationship of the main character with his wife Anya is so clearly conveyed that I felt as if I was Artem. I chewed for Anya when she was feeling bad. I was really ready for anything, just like Artem.
The gameplay in the game is amazing, the graphics are incomparable, the music is divine, and all this is seasoned with the emotions of the characters, which are real as if they were alive.
Also, after passing, I felt mental pain, even after passing to the good ending, those who played will understand me.
In the end, I want to say that it is worth going through all parts of the series because they are connected, and simply because they are worth it.
That's all for me. Play good games!
