History YMMV / MetroExodus

** Like in ''Literature/Metro2035'', is the war between Russia and NATO still ongoing after the nuclear war, xenophobic paranoia without thinking about the sorry state of the surviving countries, a propaganda piece by the Invisible Watchers--who may have also BelievedInTheirOwnLies--in order to keep the Metro population in line?

** Novosibirsk, due to its atmosphere, and much of it taking place in a metro. With supernatural elements also playing a heavy part as well. [[spoiler: The mutant leech nest you have to paddle a boat through, the blind mutated Gorillas, and Dark One cameo also helps.]]

** A few days after the announcement, a Metro developer took to the internet to accuse people of not caring about Metro and that they had only been waiting for a reason to "pour out their bile". They then capped it off by saying that should the fanbase boycott ''Exodus'', the next games in the series, if any, would not be released on PC. [=4A=] later issued a statement saying that the developer's opinions did not reflect their views on the future of the franchise and that they weren't planning on stopping PC games.

** [[spoiler: Like in ''Literature/Metro2035'', are the Invisible Watchers WellIntentionedExtremist intending to save the populace from NATO, or power-hungry elites who used said idea as propaganda, also possibly [[BelievedInTheirOwnLies believing their own lies]], in order to keep the Metro population in line?]]

* BestLevelEver: The Yamantau level has been very well-received, likely due to it being one of the ''very'' few times that Metro players have ever been given an opportunity to be as murderous as possible without feeling bad about it.

* FanDumb: Fans responded to a year long exclusivity deal for this game alone between the publisher Deep Silver and the Epic Games Studio by bombarding the other games in the series with negative reviews.

** On January 28, 2019, it was announced that the PC release of the game would be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year, due to its more favorable revenue split. This garnered a lot of backlash since it was originally available for pre-order on Steam and the decision was made only two weeks before the game was set to launch. Creator/{{Valve}} notably released a statement, calling the decision "unfair to Steam customers" and soon after, all the other Metro Games were review bombed on Steam as the backlash went full force.

* InternetBackdraft: ''Exodus'' has received a lot of backlash due to the game being exclusive to the Epic Games launcher for the first year of its lifespan. The fact that it was originally meant to be on Steam didn't help matters, especially since the decision was made two weeks before the game launched, resulting in multiple people getting their pre-orders before it got taken off over there.
** Not helped by a single developer threatening to stop making PC games should the fanbase boycott ''Exodus''. The developer was quickly fired, and [=4A=] said that they weren't planning on stopping PC games after.
