Honestly i like this DLC, got it at discount as any sane user of CA games would.

Yet reason i'm gonna leave a negative review here is simple: I noticed we can't use discussions anymore as users!
Like you're forbidden to rid yourself of your doubts and your complains about their ingame decision.

CA assembly over the years become worse and worse, they deliver you quality, from the AAA games, i think these devs usually deliver what i want to play, but charge 40% more than what their product is actually worth. Besides a lot of dlcs being - cut content to be sold for extra $$$ or some bs.

About this DLC in my opinion the bad aspect of it, there isnt any achievement for you to get, you can use a Lord under Slaanesh for example, the one in this DLC is better than base game, but doesnt register your progression.... again, Great game, but leaves a lot to be desirable, i think tw2 and tw were done with more care to the final user, they're just slighty worse in graphics.

Def is my 4 fav yakuza.

Gameplay is : well yakuza go for it!

History : I think yakuza 0 and Kiwami, one after the other are like a match in heaven.
Wont spoil, its def one of most emotion thrilling, story wise i think it's my second favorite, losing more due to gameplay in the ranking.

Majima encounters = literally me.

Goal of the game? Kill the enemy players and bail out.

Goal of my team? See which one of us is the most braindead & does more friendly damage.

Interesting the Enhanced version doesnt track playtime in the review page xD

It's kind funny to read some of the negatives reviews/traits people expose. "Bad voice acting? Bugs? I cant skip dialogues(Attention spam of a tiktoker??)", well who knows. Right?( point in fact i played this with two different rig builds and one time in xbox, and honestly i only saw graphical difference, no bugs in a ryzen cpu, intel cpu or well a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ console...)

The open world maps are mostly empty and without much to explore, and if you focus in going to the main missions they're shorter than the levels which aren't open maps. I saw a lot of textures errors, meaning, low res textures in a 4k ultra setting with RTX on...nothing in important places or characters, but when you're exploring and see this stuff breaks the immersion. Yet, the experience was 9/10 for myself, those are real negatives traits, but didn't bothered much.

Love or Hate it, the resources in Exodus are scarcer than in other titles, you can craft, but hardly you can sustain assault rifles, shotguns and revolvers. Sniper rifle,Tikhar rifle and hellsing being the best weapons to use. Base game, in SAM's story the Sammy rifle was really sweet to use and the Colt too.

Sound design of the game was great for me, cutscene, ost blend with the action, nothing masterful as Halo OST or Doom, but it was really nice for a small studio game.

While i spoke bad about some graphics textures above, the RTX in tunnels and at night was amazing, the light effect was really, really good. Mushrooms, the anomalies, and the flame effects were a feast to my eyes.

Price ratio of content sold was really worth it? I mean i got it when it came from Epic, and replayed a bit , both Exodus and Enhanced exodus. I think i got it with 50% off, and nowadays i see it often sold even cheaper. Therefore with this in mind i def can say you dont lose a shred of your money getting this if you enjoy nuclear FPS setting.

I think its interesting to see how miller and Anna are different in game vs books, the lovely and caring Anna is non existent, and Miller is a real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This makes their version in the Game for myself better than the version in Book.
Exodus songs, with metro last light and stalker, made me search for Slavic oriented songs, and honestly i'm really grateful for that, 'cause i really enjoy some gems i've found.
And of the game itself : "This ost hits really hard"

About the DLCS, kind of main story too, if you look into it, everything is related about Moral choices, with a father-son/daughter goal in mind. The game is more rigged towards a good ending(moral points) 'cause its a lot more organic the progression.

Note:

Well I remember when I got it back in 2021 with my old GTX 1660 this game ran like ♥♥♥♥, constant fps issues and etc, so I never finished it, then I got into a job which had most of my time, and this is important cause in this era I already had a better 3070ti GPU etc, but this game is well hardcore QoL.

Now I'm having the time to properly invest on it, I think this isn't made for everyone, worse is the kind of game you need to get when you have a lot of free time, a death can positively throw away 1-3h of playtime, amongst other atrocious QoL.

In another hand, this game gives a real medieval feeling, isn't the kind of game where everyone bends the knees to blow you in your horse os something. You really need to go out of your way to learn, thief,knights and so on skills.

I think the culture of Czech is really well explained, songs are nice too,it's nice when get some random talk events, curses in fight and so on.

The dlc where you play as woman, is Very realistic and boring too , not for being a woman, but it's a extreme walking simulator of empty places, BUT the quality of story is great and I think Thereza is the best girl Henry can void his "virgin achievement run or something kek*

Personally I hate to my bones the crime system, I swear to god, I go into the houses, knock people out at night and sleeping, kill them, and somehow I get fined by the crime. (I properly fence stuff and etc), it's completely rigged. Yet you guess what ? I went to see my liege at rattay with more than 2k gold from simple murdering another fellows villagers and selling their stuff to the mill men. I think it's so punitive to the player because it's the quickest way to become rich without any real effort or skill involved.

My favorite part is the sidekick window and training my dog, it pleases me very much seeing my dog learning my ways of how to kill people by biting their ankles, best doggy in the world!

I left out some immersion stuffs which are good like whetstone etc and lock picking, but there's some bad ones like needing to do lots of side tracks to be able to repair your gear, clean yourself for haggling and etc.


Só despite the drawbacks I would recommend cause it's a great experience.
Won't recommend trying to get 100%, won't recommend playing this with less than 10h per week, as sometimes you can't save when you want.

P.s: I wrote this on phone cause I can't sleep, sorry about any miss typo.
P.s2: I wanted to write about the gameplay itself, the history of the game is fantastic so I don't think it's nice to spoil what this game has to offer.


Edit i had a crash in a main story cutscene which voided me of like 2h of gameplay from last save game, this almost makes me downvote this, if it happens again i''ll.

Honestly ♥♥♥♥ off the fact you cant save and years after first release this is still an issue.

Can't wait to smell miquella's feet


Update:

It was refreshing.

with that said this game scratch a spot in my childhood, which is very dear.
Riku you can forget about that paopu fruit kekekekeekek


p.s: personally i'm playing this game at 60fps, and its fine, no bug so far, ok, theres the bug fo 120fps, but honestly its a singleplayer game, you seriously dont need that in a remaster of a game of 2000 like c'mon, if you wanna give a negative review, the price is objectively a better excuse for that.

Honestly, the fact you can play with chaos for free in TW3 and the fact this was a DLC day one for TW, makes this DLC very dirty. I wont give negative review, even thought i think it deserves it. Due to the gameplay of the faction, and i'm gonna write what i thought about the gameplay:

If you play with Archaon, you literally can solo a garrison alone with him, thus earning the 10-1 achievement, if you play wiith the troops, usually two and even three armies... your warriors flee or die at some point, but archaon is there alive and kicking, literally GOATED, easiest campaign i did in TW, it's a hoard faction, same as beastmen, and i would say greenskins, but it doesnt has the debuff of idle hoard= attriction.

Also i finished the campaign around turn 200, long campaign victory+all research done for all chaos achievements... literally my upkeep was only my lords and heroes, my vassals basically paid me for the army upkeep and the skulls building provides gold for the lord and heroes in the army... so honestly it was one of the easiest economy armies, people who didnt read what the buidings in the panel do, are the reason to blame, you can reduce upkeep by 80% by buildings alone without perks.

I even read a review you can't use another army....my brother in CHAOS you literally can recruit a Lord, in the hoard menu, in fact you need to recruit 5 lords to ge the achievement to building skulls keeps, so you would need around 80 population surplus for this achievement, and the first lords are easy, 4/8 population surplus. (What i did was, Raze kislev first, let ostenmark take the razed settlements, and went north to raze the norsca tribes to be under my rule).

I also had the most fun, with siege battles in TW with Chaos, this DLC, it became a lot more enjoyable, fun fact you can use Archaon himself to climb the walls and he slays the guards alone. A true conqueror.


p.s: i find funny, if you play with chaos you arent required to destroy vampires or greenskins, just empire and bretonnia, but if you're either vampire or greenskins, they attack you, i was literally at war with the chaos dudes in my campaign and i had positive approval of 90 with with them, due to my war with empire :)

I have very fonds memories of Metro universe as whole, i find funny ever since i finished this game for the first time 2020, my mind changed a lot, and in fact in this timeframe, i also read the books haha.

It's interesting to notice the differences of book-game, and from what i know the author himself was responsible to oversee the changes, which i think he may have struck gold, cause the same universe with very different timelines due to this decision. (I'm saying this due to Last light being really different than the original story itself, aka, the dark ones didn't survived the blast which is the canon)

With that said, you ought to do good karma and bad karma run, which is decided by how you deal with who betrayed you+karma points, I have to say, honestly i couldn't forgive the guy in 2020, i honestly despise to my bones betrayers, but replaying it now with an open mind and more wisdom, i understand how great of concept IS the lil' guy, i understand better why he read the minds of enemies and bypass their emotions to us, not just him but Khan himself and his DLC makes you understand the depth of character development which is needed.

And my final thoughts are, ignorance is a bliss, you commit sins otherwise unaware due to it, yet this games makes you reflect which path should you take upon your actions, and that was beautiful in every sense & ending with this song 10/10.

p.s: for some reason the DLCS are hidden under the missions when you finish it, isn't intuitive, i believe thats why not even 12% of people did the DLCs....so when you beat the game, press Q under chapters, and BANG play the dlcs, some of them are amazing.

score: idk bruh, i did 100% on this, that speaks for itself

honestly you need a friend to play this bs, peak game design
