![]() On discovering this, Artyom and his wife seize the opportunity to find out just what’s out there. In order to protect the residents of the Metro, radio jammers have isolated them from the outside world. As they investigate, they discover that the war is, apparently, not over. It’s during one of these expeditions that Artyom and his wife, Anna, observe a locomotive travelling on the surface. Why has it taken Arytom and his band of Spartans until now to leave the Moscow underground? As the game opens our hero, Artyom, has a habit of going to the surface, searching for other survivors. The wide, open vistas are breathtaking, whereas the monster attacks, whilst visually astounding, are absolutely chilling. No static image can really do the game visuals justice. With more diverse environments, 4A Games have really been able to show off their mastery of graphical fidelity. Whilst Metro and Last Light both looked the business, the visuals were somewhat held back by the bleak post-apocalyptic Moscow-based setting. Metro Exodus is the best-looking game of the year (and possibly last year as well). The game is Xbox One Enhanced, offering console gamers 4K, HDR gameplay very close to that of the PC visuals.Īnd what visuals they are. ![]() If PC gaming isn’t your bag, Metro Exodus looks the business on consoles as well, especially on the Xbox One. There is a slight, noticeable, drop in visual fidelity, which RTX 20 owners will have not qualms about, but for the small performance increase with a 2080ti running 1440p, I could take it or leave it for the most part. This can result in jaggy-free images with a 40% increase in performance. Deep Learning Super-Sampling allows RTX cards to use their advanced AI architecture, based on training algorithms generated on Nvidia’s super-computers, to “fill in the gaps” rendering each frame faster than conventional GPUs. Gamers with one of Nvidia’s more budget-friendly RTX 2060 or 2070 cards, or 2080ti owners wanting and ever faster frame-rate / 4K maxed-out visuals, will be pleased to know that the game also implements DLSS. Well-heeled gamers with top-of-the-range RTX2080ti GPUs should have no problem maintaining a stable framerate with all the game’s bells and whistles maxed out. Ray-traced global illumination and ambient occlusion, two attributed of lighting that are, for rendered animations, renowned resource hogs, are both handled on-the-fly. Metro Exodus makes use of the real-time raytracing functions of the Nvidia’s RTX cards to increase the realism of the lighting model. ![]() Whilst console owners can enjoy 4K visuals, PC owners are in for a visual treat, especially those with PC sporting one of Nvidia’s Geforce RTX 20-series GPUs. With Metro Exodus, once again 4A Games have raised the bar. Both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light got a graphical overhaul with the Metro Redux package for PS4 and Xbox One. Those with the most elite PC builds were able to enjoy gaming visuals the like of which console owners would have to wait an entire new generation for. The previous games, Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light were both visual showcases, on release, bringing even the most spectacular PCs to their knees. Having fought mutants, monsters and neo-Nazi both in the tunnels and on the irradiated surface, this new game opens the world up as Artyom and the crew of the locomotive Aurora, venture forth into world that they never knew still existed. As before the game follows the adventures of Artyom, who grew up in the make-shift underground city that was once the Moscow metro system. Metro Exodus is the third game based on the post-apocalyptic fiction novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033. Whilst massive publishers, with development studios all around the world, and with budgets larger than the GDP of Tonga, release limp, buggy offerings to the gaming public, once again, Ukrainian outfit 4A Games, have produced a thing of wonder.
