The final part of Novosibirsk was hard on me. You finally get back to the train after a fast car run, and when Artyom turns to Miller to celebrate, Miller is already dead in the seat. Over the course of the game, Miller felt like a father figure. Shit hurt
@@totally-not-lost I played the second game first, then I played the original version of the first game(fucking harder than redux ngl) and then I played exodus. Shit rocked my world when Miller died as he was a fucking badass! I was honestly upset he died and it hurt to play the two colonels DLC in a good way.
Millers death and dlc was one of the most emotional journeys I've ever had in a game. I was just happy his character was returned to the miller we knew in 2033.
Quick note: if you pay attention to the zone just before you meet khan you’ll hear some guys getting taken down by a air pressure gun. That is Khan, he was helping you from the shadows and it’s really cool to notice it.
I wonder what happened to Khan. Maby we will get a dlc or explanation about what happened to all the charecters from the first two games during the events of exodus. And the fate of the metro
36:20 : the reason artyom keeps going to the surface with the radio is because when the bomb exploded, he heard a signal, as the bombs had temporarily disabled the jammers
I think it's because the notes and the load screens still convey his thoughts and perspective very well, but in-game it's more his actions and his sense of duty where he acts without comment or complaint as you press on with him. Even when faced with horror and the unknown, he doesn't quip or even show fear, even if he is clearly scared, but instead does what he thinks needs to be done and continues on,, no matter what.
I will never forget Colonel Miller. Ive played Metro Exodus and was extremly sad when he was declared dead. After i played the DLC two years later, i really found out that the reason he died was cause he choose Artjoms life over his own, this made me shed a tear ngl. What a well writen character.
I tought its obvious, the kid say they have three dose and you take one and miller giver you another one at the end, thus leaving one dose for the kid that goes outside
Fun fact, when you fight the bear at the Church, you can get on the ladder and run away instead of fighting it. I figured this out on Hardcore mode where I totally ran out of ammo and that bear still wanted a piece of me.
Seriously? I had fought that motherfucker until he fled. I didn’t even realize you could straight up skip the fight by going for the ladder, I thought you had to fight him before you could progress.
@@decimation9780 It's the one situation where I took King Arthur's advice on it and ran away lol. I figured that if I could get him far enough away for me to get the ladder down (iirc, the bear rammed the church making it fall or something), I could climb it and hopefully get away. Thankfully it worked but I was paranoid that that wasn't the end of the fight.
@@Gojira_Wins Well considering that keeping the good ending is difficult due to the desert segment, I was forced to save every explosive and throwable I came across or crafted. When it came time to fight the burr, I hit him with everything I had, and then chipped away at his remaining health with my hunting rifle and magnum until the bastard finally decided that I wasn’t worth the effort and left.
@@Gojira_Wins lol i found this out on my first playthrough because that fucking bear scared me so badly I said fuck this bear. However there us an achievement for standing your ground against the bear
Honestly, that small attention to detail about how Artyom, after 2033 and Last Light, still has Hunters dog tags, showing the importance and growth that Hunter had on Artyom to venture out of the station in the start of 2033.
He probably saved his life. If not for Hunter he would have stayed at the Exibition and most likely died if the Nosalies invaded and overrun the station (like they did at the Cursed Station). Instead he went on a journey to Polis and eventually joined the Spartan Order, becaming it's leader.
1:01:35 I don’t know how you missed this, but Olga literally tells the player that he killed himself after witnessing his “students” kill a group of bandits brutally.
@@questionablequality8352 I got about halfway through it before giving up, I enjoy the story in the novels because it’s more detailed but the fact that it was an unrelated storyline about some old guy traveling the metro thinking he was Odysseus turned me off
@@bradyrufo8622 it definitely is about an old guy writing his legacy, but it isn't unrelated. It is very important to 2035, and with retrospect because of that, 2033 as well.
Thanks! A lot people don’t understand that’s the reason the videos take so long is because I capture all my own footage and don’t use anyone else’s gameplay.
@@GamingHarryYT whoa! That honestly sets you apart from every other youtuber in this niche or genre or whatev.. But yeah you're awesome and appreciated
I have read all the books in the main series and played all the games, I wish this series was more famous, I would really like them to make movies or TV series with it , the games apart from the first game are different from the books
@@definitelyaperson6334 this is a guess but anyone who is has pervious work and is talented is probably working on the game so the adaptation is probably purely cash grab Because why would you waste money making movies or tv shows when you could make a sequel
Fun fact, the faction the "Hanseatic league" is also based on a real life historical counterpart. It was a massive and wealthy alliance of German mercantile city states spread around the Baltic sea.
Basically forcing traders to dock in their ports and buy merchandise at their prices, much like what Hansa/Hanza in the series does with control of the Ring Line
1:01:36 if you stay around and listen to Olga, she tells of how the pirates murdering the bandits pushed the Teacher into a deep depression and he refused to speak to anyone for a long time. Eventually he began to speak to the pioneer girls who would visit him for advice, but he never truly recovered from his depression, and committed suicide.
Since I don't see it mentioned, 1:12:10 Blind ones aren't actually telepathically speaking with Artyom, that's Dark One's work. You can actually see him just above on the right building of which you enter. They are actually helping Artyom. Someone also mentioned that in other DLC you meet them, but they don't talk to you anymore. It's not an oversight by the designers.
@@bbbbbbb51 When you come out of a bunker you see one at the top of the build for a quick second if you are fast enough, I think (or something like that). It looks like an easter egg, but it's an interesting theory that they are there to help
Please don’t take this the wrong way but I’m so glad you’re posting more longer videos because these videos are the only ones that help me sleep. I suffer from insomnia and have to rely on sleeping pills a lot and sometimes they just don’t work and I can’t take a larger dose so I turn to commentary videos instead to help me out and your channel has helped me a lot the past few weeks since I discovered you. I do watch these videos when I’m awake in my free time too! They’re very enjoyable and while I don’t play most of the games you talk about, I really just enjoy video game lore/plot/stories sometimes even more than tv shows or movies. Thank you very much. 😊
I know exactly what you mean. I love these types of videos to both watch in the daytime and night time. It’s like a documentary of something you love. Very comforting. Plus the added bonus that there’s like a tiny chance you might dream about it. It can be really immersive. It’s pretty much like a bedtime story
His voice is just so soothing. Idk about you but I live in Texas in America and his accent calms me. So maybe that's why you fall asleep to it. It calms you.
The original novel really captured my imagination as a kid. The lore and attention to details were fantastic. There was even a map of Metro printed on the back cover of the book featuring all factions and independent stations, so you can immerse yourself and follow the journey of Artyom better.
The librarians are more interesting in the novel, as in the novel they are able to speak to artyom and one could even be heard grumbling about overdue books
Man, it's a pity they didn't include a scene where Danila gets killed by a librarian while the librarian mimics his voice, calling to Artyom and at the same time he digs his hand into Danila's intestines, creating a bloody mess. Danila was still alive. What a great scene in the books. Terrifying and gruesome
True, but at the same time I think it's more simply cultural wisdom andexpectance. There's a lot of stories about Russia starting war from Slavic countries because, well, the region's modern history has been smothered with oppression under the USSR and Russian control, and many countries have since wanted to make sure that their independence from Russia and a prevention of a return to anything close to a USSR type organization. It's a sad fact that the roots of stories like Metro are reflections on the blood-stained history of the region.
@@tylerp.5004 Actually I'm not sure if it's ever been made clear who or what exactly started the war? Could be wrong though, but your comment makes alot of sense
what are you talking about, there is no NATO vs russia. NATO is not even participating in this war. it is Ukraine (we are not in NATO) vs russia. please stop spreading misinformation
Fun fact that many overlook, but bourbon actually survives getting shot. At the end of pavel's mission in last light you can find two bandits talking about how lucky bourbon was to survive the massacre that happened at that bandit camp.
I had no idea! Kinda wish he met up with artyom again and got some closure cause I find it sad that he lived the rest of his life thinking his first friend outside of exhibition was a short-lived one but it's nice that he lives
Very true but at the same time due to the bad ending of Metro Exodus where you can meet bourbon in the afterlife it seems that although he survived the initial encounter he died somewhere along the way
I mean you meet him during the bad ending in Metro Exodus, he says something like that he didn’t expect Artyom to end up dead and that there are a lot of things to discuss
I know people were annoyed that the story changed and started becoming it’s own thing but I feel like that’s a good thing, it like you can experience more of the metro universe this way. I stopped watching this about half way because I want to read the story and play the games now. Thank you for reminding me that this game exist.
I've been binging on your videos today, and have to say this has probably been the one that impressed me the most. I love how deep into detail you dive in these game lore videos. Also can we all just take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Gluhovski's writing and how it has given us not only brilliant novels but also very enjoyable video games.
Metro is a game that I will always support. Exodus renewed my hopes that the devs want to return to the storytelling of 2033. There are many little stories left unnswered from the books and 2033 (submarines, tank village, cannibal tribe station, metro 2 tunnels) Alas we got to see them return as hints. Sams story and two colonels really shows how good this game can be. Though its surprising there was not a dlc for retrieving the snow plow. If we get another game. I suspect we will follow Sam to America. I'm curious to see more of this universe. Though I really believe the game should stay to the dark tunnels of the metro.
Disagree; Two entire games were focused on the Metro as well as the beginning part of the third game. At that point, it kinda gets old; Stick to the outside world for now, though the story WILL head back to the Metro eventually to take out the Invisible Watchers as the writers are clearly implying.
It was April 2010 when my grandfather was hospitalized and died a week later. I was visiting him in the hospital, I took a break for a bit and visited the internet cafe when I saw this game's trailer recommended by TH-cam. I was a Call of Duty addict back then so Metro 2033's idea and gameplay was mindblowing to me back then and I vividly remember getting excited for this game. Damn, what a nostalgia hit, games in the early 2010s were something else.
If there's one thing on this channel that's bullshit, it's how Harry pretends like he never uploads while putting out like some of the most detailed lore videos once a week. Even when it's a game I've never heard of they're great. You are one of most underrated youtubers out there, when I first watched your Outlast video, I just assumed you were at over a million. Keep up this quality and you'll be there in no time. Thanks for the entertainment you've provided.
The atmosphere I felt going through Metro 2033 for the first time was amazing. That dark and foreboding feeling that you are just a little bit of humanity struggling to survive. Edit: I remember hearing something from Last Light or 2033. But the civil war between the communist and fascist would be beneficial to the Metro. As it would kill lots of mouths to feed. It was little things like that helped make the games so good.
I've read all three books multiple times. The first one is still my favorite. Played all three games multiple times as well and Metro Exodus is by far my favorite here. Even compared to the story of the books, Metro Exodus is my favorite. The time you can spend with your fellow Spartans on the train really draws you into the narrative and makes you care about them and that is great motivation for the gameplay for me. Great summary of the world of Metro! Enjoyed it a lot.
For me Metro Exodus is the most immersive and exciting FPS game I've ever played. It was seriously amazing, scary and just a total blast. Also the fact that all these games have multiple endings makes them great for a second or even third playthrough. Playing through Metro Exodus again but this time without killing a single enemy was a total thrill. Love these game, can't wait for the next instalment in the franchise
The lack of/minimal HUD from the first game set a trend that the industry has largely taken note of for the better. Nothing takes me out of a game like having a bunch of stuff plastered all over it. Having stuff you carry actually be a hud replacement was a smart move in terms of design and it's something I adore when other games do. Make the knobs, buttons, and screens in a spaceship mean something. Instead of my character just knowing the time, give them a watch. Instead of them just knowing the layout of every area around them, give them a physical map to pull out. All those little details allow me to suck myself on further than if they were just put on the screen 24/7. It also give you more space to wander, explore, and actually focus on what's in front of you instead of staring at the HUD. Its something a lot of open world games still massively struggle with.
When playing through the trilogy and dlcs I liked to play through both the good and the bad endings, the English and the Russian versions, if possible, I’d wish more people knew about this series. It has this way of just gripping into your heart and not only involving you as a player, but as a reader, going through the games and collecting the journals let’s you discover who artyom is not just as a character, but a person who lives in this world.
Thinking and longing for the metro tunnels. Listening to this and going to replay the whole game series. Although very different from the books. It was a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes. Spartan on Watch. Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. Waiting and yearning.
Amazing video. The Metro Series funny enough helped me through a tough time, allowing me to care about something. It’s a great game series and you definitely did it justice. I’m excited to see more.
I'm pretty sure I watched this a year or two ago, but I'm rewatching it rn. Just cause of how much I like your game lore/story breakdowns and how much I love the Metro series! I'm actually coming to this right after finishing your "A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead" video that you just released a few hours ago lmao
minor correction, it's unlikely the event in the tunnel out of exhibition was a dark one attack, rather it was most likely an anomaly, these have nothing to do with the dark ones but Artyoms resistance to them is the result of his link to the dark ones and their aid.
I'm not a gamer (like at all) and have played none of the games featured on this channel. Yet I absolutely love watching these videos and always look forward to them! Please keep up the great work! (:
Same! Not a gamer and honestly will never have the time (or interest, frankly) to dump countless hours into a game so these videos are a fantastic way to enjoy some of these spectacularly inventive narratives!
You guys should try single player games, you don’t need to put much time in, an hour or so just as you would watch a film, immersion is what most of us play for even when there is little time for it
@@beencomfy Honestly, nah. Having to successfully navigate gameplay to move the story along is not anything like watching a movie. One is choose your own adventure (maybe. if you're good at the game.) and the other is media I can enjoy without needing to perform tasks and solve puzzles just to find out the end of the damn story. I want to relax in my downtime, not fully start a hobby of working at maybe getting the "good ending" for a plot payoff of a game and then needing to DO IT ALL AGAIN for the other possible endings? Nope. As I said, being a gamer just isn't for me. 🤣
@@DarlingMissDarlingit's understandable, but I hope you also grasp that those of us who do enjoy it find it as relaxing as reading a book or watching a film. Some people just want to blast enemies with friends, but plenty of us find the narratives, characters, and dialogues to be what engrosses us the most and it ends up feeling more comfy and relaxing than anything else.
Thank you for the insightful video on the Metro series. I knew this saga was long, but I didn't realize how much was jam packed into it. I appreciate all that you're doing and look forward to more content. Subscribed.
I accidentally stumbled across the metro 2033 game and wasn't to sure on it at first but quickly fell in love with it and it is now one of my favourite games
So, I happened up this game, "The Medium", and immediately wished you had done a playthrough and lore video on it. It seems right up your alley. I'm sure you're drowning in suggestions, and God knows there's never enough hours in the day, but I thought I'd pass it along.
"The Medium" was a pile of trash. It would be better if he doesn't do a video on that abomination of a game. Please don't make him lose his time and money on that useless thing.
@@kshitiz6376 to each their own. I have watched a playthrough and I don't agree. I think I has a complicated storyline, interesting characters, and historical and cultural connections that I didn't expect in a video game. I do think the handling might have been a bit clunky. The player I watched seemed to be struggling a bit with it. But, frankly, that seems to be the new norm for some reason. Anyway, let's let him look and see what he thinks.
Excellent breakdown of the whole picture. Good pacing on the story beats and not over-extending exposition on certain characters or optional tasks. Nice work and good editing!
This series means so much for me. It was there for me when I've been at my worst. It gave motivation and direction in life. I've been a hardcore fan for years now, made my room metro themed, getting into airsoft with a spartan fit and spartan patches and an AKS-74U (very soon will be getting a VSS). I try to bring as many people into metro as I can, be that by following a certain rule set in any game I play such as: prefference for using ak platforms, opfor outfits and metro morale system (only killing when it's required). I've turned 17 on the 25th this month meaning I've been a fan and reader of this for at least 4 years minimum. 10/10 a must play for anyone who likes postapo
Loved this series of games. All of the games were good (to me anyway) loved the most recent one as well. Incredible graphics. When I got my 3070Ti/thread ripper combo I was flabbergasted at how beautiful it looked on PC. I truly hope we see another metro game in the coming few years.
I can’t be arsed but I remember reading a tweet stating that another game is already in the tubes and a reveal will be sometime this year or in 2023 the developers posted this a few years ago and with how the world is going I’m leaning more towards 2023 hell 2024 even
Amazing video, as always. Funny how a few months ago I discovered your channel after playing Exodus and wanted a video recap of the series which led me down a rabbit hole of channels that explored the lore of video games. Your channel is by far the best. Keep up the amazing work!
Ill have a watch of this later, but cool to see you reference THREADS, I saw that when it came out back in the 80's when I was a child, it struct fear into everyone's hearts with the whole nuclear war thing
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm traveling on my own in South America at the moment, and having these long videos going through these cool stories with a friendly voice is exactly what I need sometimes
a slight suggestion go full stock gear before launching the taiga (forest) level, it will save your gun attachments and mods, same for sams story when starting the level, go stock shotgun and kalash and you will have the mods saved
Bit of a bummer thing I have to say but we may be waiting in vain or at least a long time for a sequel to metro exodus due to a Animator (Andrii Korzinkin)having passed away from protecting his home country of Ukraine from war.
Not to sound cruel, but this honestly seems like it could be some lie to get attention. also they never planned on making another game after Exodus because there is only three metro books and the three games came to a good conclusion
@@HandsomeCR his Twitter has been quiet with people saying things like rest in peace in the comments of his last twitter post which would be a red flag for someone I feel.
It's was not a dark one that attacked artyom and the caravan at the 9:12 min mark it was a anomaly of the tunnels a flouting ball of unknown energy that put all men on the caravan unconscious and artyom had a premonition dream of hunter and the the dark one.
I'm on a series explained binge right now and I stumbled on your channel from the Outlast video. I love your style of explanation because you explain new elements as they appear in the story before moving on. I know nothing about Metro but I get it now. Please keep doing this!
I freaking loved exodus. I don’t care much for the weird alien stuff in the beginning titles but I still had so much fun with the games. Not only did exodus kick so much ass, the DLC where u play as the American was an amazing cherry on top just cause I got to hear Steve Blum voice the guy
I actually liked the ideas of the Dark Ones, it made for a great story about people trying to survive against horrible odds, and what people are willing to do in order to do so. That the Spartan Order, though they are extremely good people and are a beacon for all of the metro, are still only people, and their endless mantra to protect what they love with tooth and claw only ends up killing untold numbers of those which only ever wished to be understood. I think one of the great things about metro is that it is extremely even handed and down to earth when it comes to depicting real people with all the ideals and flaws that they have. That there are many sides to the same story, and the thin line of understanding that can seperate the view between hero and murderer.
Bro what a great video! The Metro series now has a place in my heart forever, I can't believe I was late to the party with this series, I'm obsessed!! Ty for the video!
worth to note harry, in caspian sea, in the bunker where artym finds the map, if you go to the various computers that work around, you can see they show that an automated portable ICBM system is active and ready to fire. It's based on the 8x8 russian massive truck that i think everyone knows about
I absolutly love the Metro games. They are by far the most immersive games I have played so far, I regularly forgot that I was in a game playing through these. Thank you for this great recap. I appreciate the amount of time you muste have put into this.
Metro is one of my favorite games, everything about it pulls me back. The story, the lore, the world, everything about Metro pulls me back ever year to play through all the games again and read the books. If you can look past the Eastern developer jank the game is incredibly good.
Only read the first line on steam description. Watching his video is like a drama series.. My husband(not a gamer) was interested in the story too. Very Well done video.
Having read the first book, I believe that the origin of the mutants isn't from the radiation. Khan mentions both in the game and in the book that the nuclear fallout destroyed "heaven and hell" and that "the souls of the dead have no where to go and stay in the metro." What differs in the book is that Khan mentions the noosphere, which is a theory that the collective consciousness of humanity forms a kind of "mass" like the biosphere or geosphere. This concept was popular among intellectuals in the Soviet Union. In the book Khan also says that the souls of dead all become trans morphed into one massive entity. Basically, what I believe Khan was trying to say, is that the nuclear fallout destroyed the noosphere, and the collective consciousness of everyone who died during the 2013 war formed a kind of massive psychic entity. I believe that this massive entity is the reason for all the "supernatural" phenomenon in the metro. I also think that this is also the reason for the existence of the mutants, as the collective consciousness guided their evolution.
I liked some details in Metro as a whole like the critique of Russian belligerence (the games were made by the Ukrainians that made STALKER which happens to famously be set in the Pripyat exclusion zone; one of Russia’s *many* crimes against them), the stations being named and themed (and name for that theme) after old city states and the makeup and origin of mutant creatures and in Exodus specifically like the languages being spoken on the disabled jammer, the Dark Ones in Novosibirsk and the fact the Ark was never finished and the Eurasianist government died, which is poetic considering Russia’s extreme Kleptocracy and nihilism, and finally the Fallout style radio signals on the train with goofy music and characters talking about their settlements in places like Irkutsk; if you tune in before Dead City you can hear Kirill crying trying to call his dead dad. I shed a tear but it didn’t make me cry as much as Moscow and Novosibirsk Dead City apocalypse flashbacks in view of the missiles launching and other payloads detonating; The pilots of an airliner screaming “I don’t wanna die” in the arguably best one did it for me.
Esse era o vídeo que eu tava procurando, um vídeo comentando sobre o universo Metro, eu esperava algum vídeo brasileiro, mas ainda bem que esse vídeo tem legendas em português
1:03:25 The Admiral actually implies that he poisoned the last two of his men so that they wouldn't leave. He states that he brewed his tea "Extra Strong".
For some of the people who got metro exodus for the ending that was shown here is the good ending and to get the good ending you have to do all the quests for the charectors and sorta do a passive run with not killing a certain enemies in certain areas and if you don't do this you will get the bad ending and no I won't say what the bad ending is
@@landonmoore5426 you can lose 1 member of the aurora in the swamp, desert and forest chapter - depending on the factors you mentioned - 2/3 are needed after the last chapter to get the good end.
Exodus is one of the most immersive game I’ve played Interestingly I was kinda disappointed on my first play through partly due to some of the dialogues but mainly how short the game is. I fully immersed myself and rp the game on my 2nd play through and oh boy it’s good
Holy cow. This was just amazing! I've only played Metro and Last Light but this cleared up a bunch of big things I had always thought and how the story progresses!!! I've read 2033 and you did great job in the "short" summary you did . Just a really great experience. Thank you so much for this!
The Redemption Theme that plays in good ending of Last Light (and throughout the whole game in different situations like plane crash flashback) is the single most beautiful game soundtrack of all time
Loved this video man. The amount of effort you out into it. It felt like I was watching a movie about Metro. Absolutely wonderful work. Looking forward to more series like this. ✌️
That was so cool. I'm glad I finally know the story of Metro, and I already ordered the first book. You did an amazing job at telling the story, and I could have watched and listened for hours more. Thank you so much, you rock!
I slammed my hands against the woodgrain of my 100yr old desk as my childhood hero died on his sheild. Growing up playing metro, Atryom's death was one of the many things that made me genuinely weep.
I just finished Exodus a few days ago along with the Two Colonels because it was short. I watched this in full to get reacquainted with the lore of the dark ones and their roles in the first 2 games. The last hour of Exodus was rough and two colonels was even more rough. I absolutely love games that pull on the heart strings like this. The cherry on top is that the theme is right up my alley of post apocalyptic wasteland. Genuinely in my top 5 of best series I have ever played. I also just learned that the 4th installment of the series was confirmed a few years ago and might be on track for a big update in 2024.

Seriously? I had fought that motherfucker until he fled. I didn’t even realize you could straight up skip the fight by going for the ladder, I thought you had to fight him before you could progress.
@@decimation9780 It's the one situation where I took King Arthur's advice on it and ran away lol. I figured that if I could get him far enough away for me to get the ladder down (iirc, the bear rammed the church making it fall or something), I could climb it and hopefully get away. Thankfully it worked but I was paranoid that that wasn't the end of the fight.
@@Gojira_Wins Well considering that keeping the good ending is difficult due to the desert segment, I was forced to save every explosive and throwable I came across or crafted. When it came time to fight the burr, I hit him with everything I had, and then chipped away at his remaining health with my hunting rifle and magnum until the bastard finally decided that I wasn’t worth the effort and left.
@@Gojira_Wins lol i found this out on my first playthrough because that fucking bear scared me so badly I said fuck this bear.
However there us an achievement for standing your ground against the bear
I spent hours fighting that bear on hardcore with limited ammo, probably the hardest bossfight I've ever experienced
Honestly, that small attention to detail about how Artyom, after 2033 and Last Light, still has Hunters dog tags, showing the importance and growth that Hunter had on Artyom to venture out of the station in the start of 2033.
He probably saved his life. If not for Hunter he would have stayed at the Exibition and most likely died if the Nosalies invaded and overrun the station (like they did at the Cursed Station). Instead he went on a journey to Polis and eventually joined the Spartan Order, becaming it's leader.
1:01:35 I don’t know how you missed this, but Olga literally tells the player that he killed himself after witnessing his “students” kill a group of bandits brutally.
It’s quite easy to miss though

@@questionablequality8352 I got about halfway through it before giving up, I enjoy the story in the novels because it’s more detailed but the fact that it was an unrelated storyline about some old guy traveling the metro thinking he was Odysseus turned me off

Blind ones aren't actually telepathically speaking with Artyom, that's Dark One's work.
You can actually see him just above on the right building of which you enter. They are actually helping Artyom.
Someone also mentioned that in other DLC you meet them, but they don't talk to you anymore. It's not an oversight by the designers.
Yeah I don't see them in that scene at all. Maybe I'm blind. I've played through all the DLCs and don't remember meeting any dark ones on Exodus.

Please don’t take this the wrong way but I’m so glad you’re posting more longer videos because these videos are the only ones that help me sleep. I suffer from insomnia and have to rely on sleeping pills a lot and sometimes they just don’t work and I can’t take a larger dose so I turn to commentary videos instead to help me out and your channel has helped me a lot the past few weeks since I discovered you. I do watch these videos when I’m awake in my free time too! They’re very enjoyable and while I don’t play most of the games you talk about, I really just enjoy video game lore/plot/stories sometimes even more than tv shows or movies. Thank you very much. 😊
I know exactly what you mean. I love these types of videos to both watch in the daytime and night time. It’s like a documentary of something you love. Very comforting. Plus the added bonus that there’s like a tiny chance you might dream about it. It can be really immersive. It’s pretty much like a bedtime story
Have your tried listening to Warhammer 40k to sleep to interesting storys
How could anyone take that the wrong way lol everything you said was just nice ahahah
Ohh I see.. You're saying like the videos are so boring they make you fall asleep.. Ahahah
His voice is just so soothing. Idk about you but I live in Texas in America and his accent calms me. So maybe that's why you fall asleep to it. It calms you.
I love the fact when talking about the Colonel in the Bunker (DLC) you say "And this STALKER is still clutching the maps"
Welcome to the zone!
The original novel really captured my imagination as a kid. The lore and attention to details were fantastic. There was even a map of Metro printed on the back cover of the book featuring all factions and independent stations, so you can immerse yourself and follow the journey of Artyom better.
The librarians are more interesting in the novel, as in the novel they are able to speak to artyom and one could even be heard grumbling about overdue books
that and they're 100x more terrifying
Where can I read it
@@ahmedalsabagh1029 a library
I love the Two Colonels story, both had to struggle with Decisions, both had a tough jobs, and both died in the end. Sad but for me it's very poetic.
Man, it's a pity they didn't include a scene where Danila gets killed by a librarian while the librarian mimics his voice, calling to Artyom and at the same time he digs his hand into Danila's intestines, creating a bloody mess. Danila was still alive. What a great scene in the books. Terrifying and gruesome
To be fair, if the developers did that, game would probably get slapped with an adult only rating.

Strange how we are basically 10 years away from when this story takes place and there is a major Russia vs NATO conflict developing...
metro in real life, sad.
True, but at the same time I think it's more simply cultural wisdom andexpectance. There's a lot of stories about Russia starting war from Slavic countries because, well, the region's modern history has been smothered with oppression under the USSR and Russian control, and many countries have since wanted to make sure that their independence from Russia and a prevention of a return to anything close to a USSR type organization. It's a sad fact that the roots of stories like Metro are reflections on the blood-stained history of the region.
@@tylerp.5004 Actually I'm not sure if it's ever been made clear who or what exactly started the war? Could be wrong though, but your comment makes alot of sense
what are you talking about, there is no NATO vs russia. NATO is not even participating in this war. it is Ukraine (we are not in NATO) vs russia. please stop spreading misinformation
But within the storyline the nukes fell 2013 and we already got passed this point.
Fun fact that many overlook, but bourbon actually survives getting shot. At the end of pavel's mission in last light you can find two bandits talking about how lucky bourbon was to survive the massacre that happened at that bandit camp.
I had no idea! Kinda wish he met up with artyom again and got some closure cause I find it sad that he lived the rest of his life thinking his first friend outside of exhibition was a short-lived one but it's nice that he lives
Very true but at the same time due to the bad ending of Metro Exodus where you can meet bourbon in the afterlife it seems that although he survived the initial encounter he died somewhere along the way
I mean you meet him during the bad ending in Metro Exodus, he says something like that he didn’t expect Artyom to end up dead and that there are a lot of things to discuss
@@artyomsapasalev9752Perhaps when you are dead they are dead, hence the bad ending.
@@Violence4Breakfast Isn't that Khan and miller in that ending?
I know people were annoyed that the story changed and started becoming it’s own thing but I feel like that’s a good thing, it like you can experience more of the metro universe this way. I stopped watching this about half way because I want to read the story and play the games now. Thank you for reminding me that this game exist.
That and I imagine most players wouldn’t want to play as an old man who coughs horribly half way through.
I've been binging on your videos today, and have to say this has probably been the one that impressed me the most. I love how deep into detail you dive in these game lore videos.
Also can we all just take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Gluhovski's writing and how it has given us not only brilliant novels but also very enjoyable video games.
Metro is a game that I will always support. Exodus renewed my hopes that the devs want to return to the storytelling of 2033. There are many little stories left unnswered from the books and 2033 (submarines, tank village, cannibal tribe station, metro 2 tunnels) Alas we got to see them return as hints. Sams story and two colonels really shows how good this game can be. Though its surprising there was not a dlc for retrieving the snow plow. If we get another game. I suspect we will follow Sam to America. I'm curious to see more of this universe. Though I really believe the game should stay to the dark tunnels of the metro.
Disagree; Two entire games were focused on the Metro as well as the beginning part of the third game. At that point, it kinda gets old; Stick to the outside world for now, though the story WILL head back to the Metro eventually to take out the Invisible Watchers as the writers are clearly implying.
It was April 2010 when my grandfather was hospitalized and died a week later. I was visiting him in the hospital, I took a break for a bit and visited the internet cafe when I saw this game's trailer recommended by TH-cam. I was a Call of Duty addict back then so Metro 2033's idea and gameplay was mindblowing to me back then and I vividly remember getting excited for this game. Damn, what a nostalgia hit, games in the early 2010s were something else.
If there's one thing on this channel that's bullshit, it's how Harry pretends like he never uploads while putting out like some of the most detailed lore videos once a week. Even when it's a game I've never heard of they're great. You are one of most underrated youtubers out there, when I first watched your Outlast video, I just assumed you were at over a million. Keep up this quality and you'll be there in no time. Thanks for the entertainment you've provided.
“But after a fight with a massive armored shrimp…” was just not a sentence I was expecting to hear today. 😂 Thanks for another great video.
The atmosphere I felt going through Metro 2033 for the first time was amazing. That dark and foreboding feeling that you are just a little bit of humanity struggling to survive.
Edit: I remember hearing something from Last Light or 2033. But the civil war between the communist and fascist would be beneficial to the Metro. As it would kill lots of mouths to feed. It was little things like that helped make the games so good.
I've read all three books multiple times. The first one is still my favorite. Played all three games multiple times as well and Metro Exodus is by far my favorite here. Even compared to the story of the books, Metro Exodus is my favorite. The time you can spend with your fellow Spartans on the train really draws you into the narrative and makes you care about them and that is great motivation for the gameplay for me.
Great summary of the world of Metro! Enjoyed it a lot.
"If you made this far you are a trooper" like I can't do anything else while watching this merits my full undivided attention
For me Metro Exodus is the most immersive and exciting FPS game I've ever played.
It was seriously amazing, scary and just a total blast.
Also the fact that all these games have multiple endings makes them great for a second or even third playthrough.
Playing through Metro Exodus again but this time without killing a single enemy was a total thrill.
Love these game, can't wait for the next instalment in the franchise
The lack of/minimal HUD from the first game set a trend that the industry has largely taken note of for the better. Nothing takes me out of a game like having a bunch of stuff plastered all over it. Having stuff you carry actually be a hud replacement was a smart move in terms of design and it's something I adore when other games do. Make the knobs, buttons, and screens in a spaceship mean something. Instead of my character just knowing the time, give them a watch. Instead of them just knowing the layout of every area around them, give them a physical map to pull out. All those little details allow me to suck myself on further than if they were just put on the screen 24/7. It also give you more space to wander, explore, and actually focus on what's in front of you instead of staring at the HUD. Its something a lot of open world games still massively struggle with.
When playing through the trilogy and dlcs I liked to play through both the good and the bad endings, the English and the Russian versions, if possible, I’d wish more people knew about this series. It has this way of just gripping into your heart and not only involving you as a player, but as a reader, going through the games and collecting the journals let’s you discover who artyom is not just as a character, but a person who lives in this world.
Thinking and longing for the metro tunnels.
Listening to this and going to replay the whole game series. Although very different from the books.
It was a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes.

Amazing video. The Metro Series funny enough helped me through a tough time, allowing me to care about something. It’s a great game series and you definitely did it justice. I’m excited to see more.
This channel is extremely underrated. It should have way more subscribers
I'm pretty sure I watched this a year or two ago, but I'm rewatching it rn. Just cause of how much I like your game lore/story breakdowns and how much I love the Metro series!
I'm actually coming to this right after finishing your "A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead" video that you just released a few hours ago lmao
minor correction, it's unlikely the event in the tunnel out of exhibition was a dark one attack, rather it was most likely an anomaly, these have nothing to do with the dark ones but Artyoms resistance to them is the result of his link to the dark ones and their aid.
I'm not a gamer (like at all) and have played none of the games featured on this channel. Yet I absolutely love watching these videos and always look forward to them! Please keep up the great work! (:
become a gamer
Same! Not a gamer and honestly will never have the time (or interest, frankly) to dump countless hours into a game so these videos are a fantastic way to enjoy some of these spectacularly inventive narratives!
You guys should try single player games, you don’t need to put much time in, an hour or so just as you would watch a film, immersion is what most of us play for even when there is little time for it
@@beencomfy Honestly, nah. Having to successfully navigate gameplay to move the story along is not anything like watching a movie. One is choose your own adventure (maybe. if you're good at the game.) and the other is media I can enjoy without needing to perform tasks and solve puzzles just to find out the end of the damn story. I want to relax in my downtime, not fully start a hobby of working at maybe getting the "good ending" for a plot payoff of a game and then needing to DO IT ALL AGAIN for the other possible endings? Nope.
As I said, being a gamer just isn't for me. 🤣
@@DarlingMissDarlingit's understandable, but I hope you also grasp that those of us who do enjoy it find it as relaxing as reading a book or watching a film. Some people just want to blast enemies with friends, but plenty of us find the narratives, characters, and dialogues to be what engrosses us the most and it ends up feeling more comfy and relaxing than anything else.
Metro is such an underrated series
The books and the games are lit asf
Played Metro games recently, that was very memorable experience and the story was more interesting than I expected.

So, I happened up this game, "The Medium", and immediately wished you had done a playthrough and lore video on it. It seems right up your alley.
I'm sure you're drowning in suggestions, and God knows there's never enough hours in the day, but I thought I'd pass it along.

This series means so much for me. It was there for me when I've been at my worst. It gave motivation and direction in life. I've been a hardcore fan for years now, made my room metro themed, getting into airsoft with a spartan fit and spartan patches and an AKS-74U (very soon will be getting a VSS). I try to bring as many people into metro as I can, be that by following a certain rule set in any game I play such as: prefference for using ak platforms, opfor outfits and metro morale system (only killing when it's required).
I've turned 17 on the 25th this month meaning I've been a fan and reader of this for at least 4 years minimum.
10/10 a must play for anyone who likes postapo
Loved this series of games. All of the games were good (to me anyway) loved the most recent one as well. Incredible graphics. When I got my 3070Ti/thread ripper combo I was flabbergasted at how beautiful it looked on PC. I truly hope we see another metro game in the coming few years.
Yeah the PC Enhanced Edition was gorgeous.
I can’t be arsed but I remember reading a tweet stating that another game is already in the tubes and a reveal will be sometime this year or in 2023 the developers posted this a few years ago and with how the world is going I’m leaning more towards 2023 hell 2024 even
I was Hyped when i seen this video was coming. The Metro Series is definitely one of my favorite games and this video didn’t disappoint.

Bit of a bummer thing I have to say but we may be waiting in vain or at least a long time for a sequel to metro exodus due to a Animator (Andrii Korzinkin)having passed away from protecting his home country of Ukraine from war.

This game has a special place in my heart as I essentially grew up playing these over my teens
It's was not a dark one that attacked artyom and the caravan at the 9:12 min mark it was a anomaly of the tunnels a flouting ball of unknown energy that put all men on the caravan unconscious and artyom had a premonition dream of hunter and the the dark one.
I'm on a series explained binge right now and I stumbled on your channel from the Outlast video. I love your style of explanation because you explain new elements as they appear in the story before moving on. I know nothing about Metro but I get it now. Please keep doing this!
I freaking loved exodus. I don’t care much for the weird alien stuff in the beginning titles but I still had so much fun with the games. Not only did exodus kick so much ass, the DLC where u play as the American was an amazing cherry on top just cause I got to hear Steve Blum voice the guy
Also the Thompson and m1911 were badass
I actually liked the ideas of the Dark Ones, it made for a great story about people trying to survive against horrible odds, and what people are willing to do in order to do so. That the Spartan Order, though they are extremely good people and are a beacon for all of the metro, are still only people, and their endless mantra to protect what they love with tooth and claw only ends up killing untold numbers of those which only ever wished to be understood.
I think one of the great things about metro is that it is extremely even handed and down to earth when it comes to depicting real people with all the ideals and flaws that they have. That there are many sides to the same story, and the thin line of understanding that can seperate the view between hero and murderer.

worth to note harry, in caspian sea, in the bunker where artym finds the map, if you go to the various computers that work around, you can see they show that an automated portable ICBM system is active and ready to fire. It's based on the 8x8 russian massive truck that i think everyone knows about
I absolutly love the Metro games. They are by far the most immersive games I have played so far, I regularly forgot that I was in a game playing through these. Thank you for this great recap. I appreciate the amount of time you muste have put into this.
Metro is one of my favorite games, everything about it pulls me back. The story, the lore, the world, everything about Metro pulls me back ever year to play through all the games again and read the books. If you can look past the Eastern developer jank the game is incredibly good.
I made sure Artyom did all the good actions because it wouldn't make sense what he experience in the metro to completely 180 on what he learned.
After already beating these twice, once 100 percenting them, I thoroughly enjoyed this recap. One of my favorite series of all time. Thanks!
By far the best series ever made.
I will love metro forever. ❤

I really like these types of videos and this one is really cool and good. It shows that you actually did your research. Keep up the good work
Having read the first book, I believe that the origin of the mutants isn't from the radiation. Khan mentions both in the game and in the book that the nuclear fallout destroyed "heaven and hell" and that "the souls of the dead have no where to go and stay in the metro." What differs in the book is that Khan mentions the noosphere, which is a theory that the collective consciousness of humanity forms a kind of "mass" like the biosphere or geosphere. This concept was popular among intellectuals in the Soviet Union. In the book Khan also says that the souls of dead all become trans morphed into one massive entity. Basically, what I believe Khan was trying to say, is that the nuclear fallout destroyed the noosphere, and the collective consciousness of everyone who died during the 2013 war formed a kind of massive psychic entity. I believe that this massive entity is the reason for all the "supernatural" phenomenon in the metro. I also think that this is also the reason for the existence of the mutants, as the collective consciousness guided their evolution.
I liked some details in Metro as a whole like the critique of Russian belligerence (the games were made by the Ukrainians that made STALKER which happens to famously be set in the Pripyat exclusion zone; one of Russia’s *many* crimes against them), the stations being named and themed (and name for that theme) after old city states and the makeup and origin of mutant creatures and in Exodus specifically like the languages being spoken on the disabled jammer, the Dark Ones in Novosibirsk and the fact the Ark was never finished and the Eurasianist government died, which is poetic considering Russia’s extreme Kleptocracy and nihilism, and finally the Fallout style radio signals on the train with goofy music and characters talking about their settlements in places like Irkutsk; if you tune in before Dead City you can hear Kirill crying trying to call his dead dad. I shed a tear but it didn’t make me cry as much as Moscow and Novosibirsk Dead City apocalypse flashbacks in view of the missiles launching and other payloads detonating; The pilots of an airliner screaming “I don’t wanna die” in the arguably best one did it for me.
i love how deep and meaningful the metro story is and you have depicted it well

For some of the people who got metro exodus for the ending that was shown here is the good ending and to get the good ending you have to do all the quests for the charectors and sorta do a passive run with not killing a certain enemies in certain areas and if you don't do this you will get the bad ending and no I won't say what the bad ending is

Glad to see there is still good long form content

Holy cow. This was just amazing! I've only played Metro and Last Light but this cleared up a bunch of big things I had always thought and how the story progresses!!! I've read 2033 and you did great job in the "short" summary you did . Just a really great experience. Thank you so much for this!

1 year later and this video is still really entertaining, srsly good job mate (metro is such a trippy game)
The Redemption Theme that plays in good ending of Last Light (and throughout the whole game in different situations like plane crash flashback) is the single most beautiful game soundtrack of all time
Loved this video man. The amount of effort you out into it. It felt like I was watching a movie about Metro. Absolutely wonderful work. Looking forward to more series like this. ✌️
Belive it or not i watched the whole video in one sitting. Thank you for the awesome content!
That was so cool. I'm glad I finally know the story of Metro, and I already ordered the first book. You did an amazing job at telling the story, and I could have watched and listened for hours more. Thank you so much, you rock!
Finally, a new video! I already know this is gonna be good since it's your work, Gaming Harry.
I slammed my hands against the woodgrain of my 100yr old desk as my childhood hero died on his sheild. Growing up playing metro, Atryom's death was one of the many things that made me genuinely weep.
Replay and get the good ending lol
@@hellboy4860 I can't I'm not good at video games.
@@skidunskie it's really not hard at all especially since you can just save scum
I just finished Exodus a few days ago along with the Two Colonels because it was short. I watched this in full to get reacquainted with the lore of the dark ones and their roles in the first 2 games. The last hour of Exodus was rough and two colonels was even more rough. I absolutely love games that pull on the heart strings like this. The cherry on top is that the theme is right up my alley of post apocalyptic wasteland. Genuinely in my top 5 of best series I have ever played. I also just learned that the 4th installment of the series was confirmed a few years ago and might be on track for a big update in 2024.
Fun fact
Artyom was a army hero a faction spartans meeting new friends now the dark ones is worsened.
But artyom was survived and promoted to colonel and order to returning a new home miller's passed away
