Metro Exodus
Microsoft E3 2017 Best Games
It’s been over four years since Metro: Last Light, the second entry in a series based on a post-apocalyptic novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukovsky. Although a collection was released on current-gen consoles not too long ago, it wasn’t known if the series would be continued, but some light was shed on that early on during Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference. Shortly after sharing some details about the Xbox One X (the official name of the highly-anticipated Project Scorpio), it was time to show off some games. What better way to demonstrate an upcoming console’s capabilities than to show a world full of the beauty of death and decay as well as vicious, mutated monstrosities? That’s when Metro Exodus took the stage.
At first, it looked like it was par for the course. Artyom walked through some dark, damaged corridors while avoiding monsters, picking up ammunition and relying on stealth and wits to make it past. However, when it came time to return to the surface, things were quite different. The gas mask that has been the only thing preventing a quick and violent death to radiation was removed and Artyom drew in a deep breath. The world is regaining more life, and that opens up a wealth of possibilities. One of the best post-apocalyptic shooters in recent years is about to become a whole lot more interesting.
