While on the subject of how the Enhanced Edition improves your immersion, there is no better time to talk about the DualSense integration.
This may not sound like much, but in a game based around stealth, hiding in the dark, and travelling through dimly-lit areas, it really adds an extra level of immersion to the already tense sections. Then, when you relight the fires/lights, you watch as the light spreads from the source to fill all of that area surround it naturally. One key mechanic is extinguishing lights in order to hide your presence from enemies Turning them off leaves you in near-complete darkness with only a small amount of light coming from other sources, giving you patchy visibility at best. The effects are most noticeable when paired with the stealth mechanics the game encourages you to use. From the open area sections, that show off amazingly rendered landscapes, to the enclosed sections benefiting from the improved lighting effects, this game is gorgeous… in an isolated post-apocalyptic way. The Enhanced Edition delivers a 4K image (~1512p with Temporal upscaling) at 60fps with ray tracing which leads to some of the best visuals I have seen on the, admittedly, very new consoles.

However, the free upgrade is out now on PC, Xbox Series S and X, with the PC offering more in terms of ray tracing features, the Xbox Series X being very similar to the PS5 edition, and the Series S version trailing behind whilst still delivering a great looking game.įirstly, the most in-your-face improvement you’ll notice within Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition comes has to be the graphical overhaul. Let me start by saying that this is a review of the improvements made in the Enhanced Edition of Metro Exodus, rather than a review of the game itself.Īlso, as I reviewed the PlayStation 5 version of the game, this platform and its features will be the focus of this review.

We were lucky enough to get a review code to take a look at the enhancements and see just how much it changes the look and feel of the immersive open-world FPS. A few weeks ago 4A Games and Deep Silver released a free ‘next-gen’ edition of Metro Exodus, an upgrade that takes advantage of the new consoles in order to deliver the game that the developers envisioned without last-gen hardware holding it back (visually).
