A quarter century after nuclear war devastated the Earth, a few thousand survivors took refuge in the Moscow Metro. They believed they were the last remnants of humanity - but they were wrong. Only Artyom dared to dream of a life on the surface. But dreams can quickly turn to nightmares… It’s time to leave the ruins of Moscow, and journey beyond.

4A Games' post-apocalyptic, atmospheric shooter series, Metro, is back, with what is the most ambitious game the Ukranian studio has made to date. The post-nuclear remains of Russia are a harsh and brutal setting, and much like its predecessors, Metro Exodus is a game that pushes its players to the limit. Given that it's also much more open ended, however, there's also a lot of new stuff going on in here. Here, we'll be taking a look at fifteen basic things you should keep in mind as you dive into the game, which will help newcomers get to grips with the game more quickly, but should also hopefully help returning series fans understand some of the many new additions the game makes a little better.

Post-nuclear winter aint all its cracked up to be in the land of vodka. Mutants, the reich, the red and more are threats in this game's universe!
