Metro Exodus Gold Edition

Metro Exodus takes the series out of the tunnels. Artyom leaves Moscow on a locomotive called the Aurora with a handful of Spartan Rangers, heading east across a post-nuclear Russia in search of somewhere the air is clean, and the journey covers a full year of seasons. 4A Games rebuilt the structure around large sandbox regions — the frozen Volga, the Caspian desert, an autumn forest called Taiga — linked by tighter, more scripted chapters that feel like the older games. You scavenge for parts, craft ammunition and filters at a workbench or on the move, and modify weapons in the field rather than at a shop. The gas mask cracks, the flashlight needs charging by hand, and the game is happy to let you run out of everything at once. How you treat the people you meet along the way changes who survives the trip and which ending you get. It is single-player only, with no multiplayer or co-op. The PC version includes the free Enhanced Edition update with ray tracing. The Gold Edition adds the Expansion Pass with both story add-ons: The Two Colonels, a short linear chapter played as Colonel Khlebnikov, and Sam's Story, a larger open area set in Vladivostok.
