For those familiar with the “Metro” series, I’ve just purchased all three titles and am curious about their order. Should I play them in sequence or can I enjoy them in any arrangement? I’m interested in experiencing the narrative, but I want to know if they’re connected as a continuous story or if they’re separate adventures that can be played out in any order. The latest one is Metro: Exodus, but I’d prefer not to begin there unless it continues the story from the earlier games, Metro and Metro: Last Light.
Exodus stands out as the first title to provide a more expansive, open environment for exploration (roughly 50% closed, 50% open), whereas earlier games often linger longer in confined, dark spaces. If you're not accustomed to close combat—often a setup filled with jump scares—starting with Exodus is recommended. The story offers minimal context from prior entries, focusing instead on reshaping the overall perspective of Metro games.
For certain, the narrative spans from 2033 to the Exodus, meaning events unfold in a specific sequence. If you skip parts, the story might become unclear. Exodus would be simpler, but missing the earlier sections would still leave gaps in understanding the overall plot.
I would go through the metro series in reverse order, starting from the oldest to the newest. The storyline is excellent, and most of it originates from the books. Sure, it's a game, but you wouldn't enjoy reading a trilogy in reverse chronological order.
Follow in order. Ensure frames remain under 120 to avoid the physics issue with narrow areas.
They likely cap at 60 FPS. The first one seems to handle it better, but I usually hit around 60fps at 1440p with top settings. Running an 8700K OC’ed and a 2080 Ti gives me high-end performance.
I wasn't sure if it was a trilogy or three separate tales within the same series. If none of the characters or plots intersect, they could be arranged in any sequence. However, if there are overlaps or everything connects into one narrative, I’d definitely choose Metro, then Metro Last Light, followed by Metro Exodus.
You can purchase Metro Exodus at a discounted rate during the current Summer Sale on Steam for just $17.99, which is 55% off the regular price of $39.99. If you already own it but haven’t bought it yet, it’s a great opportunity to save.
I handle both tight spaces and open battles. My focus is more on the narrative, not just personal comfort. I wouldn’t want to play the final round without first exploring the earlier sections, or risk messing up the conclusion by jumping into the last one first.
I used an i7 8700k with just four cores and two GTX 1080 graphics in SLI at 3440 X 1440. In certain titles they could handle a 2080 ti. I gave them up last month.
