Metro

Even though it is already final, I still got a chance to play on “Metro Exodus”。It is a first player shooting game, where you play the role of one of the russian civilians to survive under the ground, inside those tunnels, after the world has just been “baptized” by nuclear missiles. The worldview is set in the same parallel worldview as the real world and takes place after World War II. This means that you get to meet the Nazis in the game as well as the Red Army.
“Metro Exodus” is the third and final installment in the Metro trilogy so far. The game is significantly different from the previous two installments, featuring a sandbox open world with no constraints, allowing the player to explore any place of the map. It's a very interesting game that features not only human enemies, but also mutated animals affected by nuclear radiation, including rats, giant bats, and a group of dark creatures called the “dark one” that kill the enemy through telepathy. I somehow never got the chance to finish the first installment of Metro; but I finished the second installment and currently playing the third installment.

Hear me out

The game has included a new mechanism, "Karma," in the second and third installments. Your choices throughout the game determine the story's ending, offering at least four different endings based on your decisions.

I don't like it

This is Pavel, a member of the faction "Red Army". We first meet when he is about to get executed by the "Nazi" faction. I saved him and accompanied him to the Red Army base. Instead of showing his appreciation, he poisons me and sells me to the Red Army officer, torturing me for the coordinate of my faction "Sparta."

In the late of the game, we met again and started a fight. You can decide whether to kill him or let him live. Here is the tricky part: if you let him live, he will show up at the end of the game and save you. But if you decide to kill him, it will bring you a bad ending, in which you and your father-in-law both die in the final battle.

I know it will be wise to save him to achieve a good ending, but I just don't like him; I don't like the betraying and killing of my men.

If it is just whether save him or not, I am totally fine with it. But the fact is that there are so many restrictions. The game developer force you to listen to characters dialogues, even it is nothing related to any gameplay. If you patiently listen to one dialogue, you can get a good karma point, which leads to the good ending after gained certain amount of karma points.

Don't teach players how to play:

If it is just whether to save him or not, I am okay with it. But the fact is that there are so many restrictions. The game developer forces you to listen to characters' dialogues, even if it is nothing related to gameplay. If you patiently listen to one dialogue, you can get a good karma point, which leads to a good ending after gaining a certain amount of karma points.
