A new take on the exciting gameplay
The first expansion went well for 4A Games Metro Exodus. By looking at the trailer by Koch Media and Deep Silver, you can see that the second, Sam’s Story, also has a lot to offer.
Follow Sam home
Metro Exodus - Sam’s Story is an expansion to the popular action game that follows the US marine’s story with new areas to explore.
To play Sam’s story, you need to get the DLC and already have the original game on your PC. Then, you get tossed into a brand-new storyline, together with another massive open map and several smaller areas for exploration.
A new setting means that you’ll get to experience fresh gameplay. It keeps the non-linear structure of the base game, having you explore the world and seeking upgrades.
However, the changed surroundings mean that the enemies also attack differently. To combat them, Sam gets two new weapons: a rifle and a handgun. There’s also a handy gadget.
These new features come in gorgeous visuals and sound design. While the voice acting isn’t ideal, it still immerses you in the plot, which has two distinct endings depending on your choices.
Where can you run this program?
You can run this game on Windows 7, 8, and 10.
Is there a better alternative?
No. This game, along with the expansion, is fantastic. However, if you’re looking for other titles with in-depth gameplay and thrilling plots, try Gears 5, Control, or Remnant: From the Ashes.
Our take
This expansion feels more like a spinoff of the base game, packed with new locations and experiences. It has some hiccups in execution, but overall, it’s great.
Should you download it?
Yes, if you own and have enjoyed Metro Exodus and want to explore the world a bit more, it’s an expansion to get.
