failed to achieve anything at TGA 2019, "Metro: Hometown" is still one of the best games last year in my heart, and it is also the game that tells the best story. After ending its one-year exclusivity with Epic, "Metro: Hometown" has launched on Steam with its new DLC "Sam's Story", with a current praise rate of 88%.
"Exodus" after the nuclear explosion in the world
The game "Metro" series is adapted from the Russian novel " Metro 2033", and the latest work in the series "Metro: Leaving Home" tells the story of the protagonist Artyom and his party from an underground shelter. A story about moving out of the "Metro" and returning to the surface world after the nuclear explosion to find a settlement suitable for human survival.
The English name of "Metro: Leaving Home" is "Metro Exodus". "Exodus" also means "Exodus", which tells the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt for Canaan under the leadership of Jehovah. The meaning of such words is self-evident. Artyom and others will go through all kinds of hardships and leave the "hometown" subway where they grew up to pursue the truth and find a settlement on the surface.
While traveling on the surface, Artyom and others need to do the following: wear gas masks when going out, be sure to replace the filter box in time, do not leave the train unless there is an important matter, and do not have casual contact with others... During this extraordinary period, China Players will definitely have special insights during the game of "Metro: Exodus".
A doomsday survival that is both cruel and tender
The world after the nuclear explosion is doomed to be full of dangers. Nuclear radiation, mutated monsters, and armed groups everywhere are all eyeing the protagonist group. What's even more terrible is that the material shortage conditions in the end of the world have destined this game to have nothing to do with "turf", and it emphasizes patient stealth and resource management. Such a hard-core gameplay will undoubtedly make many players confused in the early stages of the game.
The weapon system is also a great pleasure of this game. Although there are not too many types of firearms, by collecting parts, players can complete custom modifications to the firearms at the game's workbench, allowing you to turn your birdgun into a cannon.
The production team also paid great attention to the transition of each chapter. Before each new outing adventure, players have to experience a period of "chatting time" on the train. The companions on the train will share their stories and feelings with each other. These conversation texts are obviously carefully designed, full of content and interesting, adding a sense of home warmth to this crisis-ridden apocalyptic journey.
"Two Colonels" and "Sam's Story"
In addition to the main body, the game's two DLCs "Two Colonels" and "Sam's Story" are also available on Steam. I must remind everyone that both the main body and the DLC inherit the settings of moral points. In other words, in order to trigger a good ending, players must do more good deeds and try not to hurt innocent people.
"Two Colonels" is the completion of the story in the last chapter of the main body. It is carried out from the dual perspectives of the protagonist Artyom's father-in-law, Colonel Miller, and Kirill's father, Colonel Khlebnikov. It spans 10 years and shows the exploration process of the two colonels at the same place. The core is to express the relationship between the two colonels. "Lies" and "truth", which side is more important to think about.
The new DLC "Sam's Story" tells the adventure story of Artyom's teammate American Sam returning to the United States after the main story ends. The content of this DLC is extremely large, with new maps, new characters, and new stories, which can be called conscience. In Moscow, Sam considers himself a stranger. With no one to rely on, can he find his own support when he returns to the United States?
Overall, "Metro: Hometown" is worthy of the word "masterpiece" in all aspects. Especially the addition of the two DLCs makes the story and spiritual core of this game extremely rich. If you want to ask me what this game has taught me, it should be - even in the post-nuclear apocalypse, there will always be justice, bravery, kindness, love and other truths, goodness and beauty. This is the hope for the continuation of mankind.
