The bleak post-apocalypse of Metro Exodus in beautiful screenshots


null
In Metro Exodus, released tomorrow, Artyom leaves the Moscow Metro behind and embarks on a journey across Russia aboard a steam train, the Aurora, to look for a better life. It's a dramatic change of scenery, even if, as you can read in my review, nothing much has changed in terms of combat and survival. The first stop on your voyage is the Volga River, and here's a screenshot diary of some of the stuff I discovered as I explored its icy, irradiated wastes.
This is the first big, open map in Exodus, set around the banks of the River Volga. It's a freezing expanse of dead forests, sunken villages, and abandoned industrial complexes, and crawling with all manner of vicious mutants. Artyom's primary goal is finding a way to repair the Aurora, but there are other things to discover out here, including a sinister religious cult.
This ruined church has become a place of worship for the cult, and is only accessible by boat. Vehicles are a new addition to Exodus, including creaky wooden rowboats that the local mutated crustaceans seem to have an appetite for. Whether it's cultists or monstrous crustaceans, the Volga is full of things that want you dead. But there are some friendly survivors too.
As you explore the wasteland in Exodus you'll often discover buildings from the old world reappropriated as shelters or camps. This gas station will never pump another drop, but some enterprising bandits have turned it into a makeshift hideout. You can ignore them and mind your own business, but they might be protecting something valuable you can scavenge.

Thankfully, 4A Games gives you plenty of guns to play with, from six-shooter pistols to Gatling guns and sniper rifles—you’ll soon find your favourites.  But managing your weapons in Exodus is no simple task.
