Release date: Feb 14, 2020 Data as of 2026-10-19 View on Steam ↗

Good for

  • Players who want to soak in the world and atmosphere

Think twice if you are

  • Players bothered by bugs (reports of crashes and bugs)

Summary

Metro Exodus has a TrueGG Rating of 91.7%: the positive share among 5,332 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 89.9%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 92.5%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 5% of the total, and only 70% of them are positive. Some players bounce off early, but those who get past the opening rate it higher. Steam accepts refund requests within 2 hours of play and 14 days of purchase.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 83% positive versus 95% at 50–100h: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs and updates and the developers (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise the story, how fun it feels, and 前作・シリーズ.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 78.7%, 13.1 points below all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (89.3% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on technical quality (Crashes & bugs). These can be fixed, so check recent reviews too. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).

Counted from 394 recent negative and 533 positive reviews in Japanese and English, using our published topic dictionary. No AI is used. Topics overlap, so shares do not add up to 100%. Sarcasm and nuance are not detected, and this does not show cause and effect.How we count
