ABOUT THE GAME

Metro Exodus is a survival horror first-person shooter video game that also features stealth elements. It is the third Metro title by Deep Silver and is the direct sequel to the previous Metro titles, Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.

Metro Exodus is set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the former Russian Federation. There are various hazards, mutated creatures and other humans which the players are suppose to cope with. Players have access to various hand-made weapons just like in the previous titles, and they all can be customized via the crafting system. The game features a dynamic weather system and the environments keep on changing along with the seasons as the story progresses.

The year is 2036, Metro Exodus is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been destroyed by a nuclear war 23 years ago. The game is a continuation to the story from Metro: Last Light‘s “Redemption” ending. The player assumes the role of 23-year-old Artyom, just like the previous titles, who sets off on a adventurous journey with Spartan Rangers to the far east. The story takes place over the course of one year, starting with a harsh nuclear winter in the metro.

Now, Metro Exodus is probably the most graphically intensive game that has ever released in the history of video games. Metro Exodus can be regarded as the “Crisis 3” of 2019. The game is so demanding that it even puts graphics cards like RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 ti to shame. The level of detailing featured is this game is unlike anything we have ever seen. We would recommend players to not even consider buying this game if you do not have a GTX 1050 ti or a RX 470 minimum. But on the bright side, Metro Exodus is a reminder to those developers who are still making games that look like they are from the year 2016.

We totally understand that we have entered the era of online competitive games where graphics do not matter much but that doesn’t mean players don’t appreciate titles that feature rich textures and intense single player gameplay. ‘Lag’ and ‘fps drops’ are the two terms that players would be coming across very often while playing Metro Exodus. Even a GTX 1060 is not enough to run this game at medium settings perfectly. Though it is not possible to run this game on mediocre hardware, playable frames can be achieved with few tweaks here and there. Here is how you can fix any sort of lag, FPS drops, bugs and stuttering in Metro Exodus:

Best Graphics or Video settings for best performance in Metro Exodus

Considering how heavy Metro Exodus really is, get ready to turn down almost every setting. Run a Benchmark before starting the game.

Open Metro Exodus Benchmark Application and try these settings:

• Set Multi-Display/Mixed GPU Acceleration to Single display performance mode.

Trick for AMD users

Here is a trick for the AMD Graphics Card users if you are lagging despite having a decent rig:

• Download PhysX System Software Nvidia’s website
