For developer 4A Games, Metro Exodus was an ambitious project. Instead of sticking to the dark, damp, and linear design of the metro tunnels beneath an irradiated Moscow, they chose to create a new adventure that saw players explore a healing world above ground, travelling through non-linear environments and creating a better future for series protagonist Artyom and his allies. Thankfully, the chance paid off, and Metro Exodus ended up becoming one of 2019's most critically-acclaimed titles.
While Metro Exodus was a step forward for the franchise, the game's first DLC — The Two Colonels — is a love letter to Metro's roots. And while it can occasionally feel a little rough around the edges, Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels is nevertheless a phenomenal piece of content that proves Metro's original design philosophies still stand tall.
Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels DLC
The best thing about Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels is its gameplay. With its tight, linear level design and its clever blend of horror atmosphere and action elements, this DLC is in the style of the two Metro games prior to Metro Exodus perfected. You play as Colonel Khlebnikov, a high-ranking member of the security forces in the inhabited metro tunnels underneath the city of Novosibirsk. With mutant attacks on the rise and a dwindling supply of anti-radiation chemicals (known as "green stuff"), the society built by Novosibirsk's survivors gradually begins to crumble, and Khlebnikov faces the haunting challenge of both helping his people and saving the life of his son, Kirill. For the most part, he accomplishes this with the help of his trusty flamethrower, which is the new weapon in the DLC. Its high damage makes it a blast to use, but the short range, long reload time, and hand crank-based pressurization system mean that you'll need to be strategic in how you dispatch your foes. There's a section with a standard rifle, too, but the flamethrower steals the show.
The narrative of the DLC is also superb. The name "Kirill" may sound familiar to some players; this is because he's the child that Artyom and Colonel Miller meet at the end of the base game. The Two Colonels ties directly into the main story by giving players the chance to get to know Kirill's father, Khlebnikov, and how he passed away. When Miller goes to his last known location in order to find some of the "green stuff" for his deathly-ill daughter, Anna, it becomes clear that the DLC is drawing parallels between the two fathers and their love for their children. It's a subtle and nuanced story that isn't on-the-nose in any way, which made it incredibly enjoyable. In addition to this, the way the DLC depicts Novosibirsk's metro tunnel inhabitants begin to tear themselves apart over lack of critical supplies is excellent, making it a part of the story that's as tragic as it is thought-provoking.
While Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels is basically perfect, there are a few nitpicks I have. The first one is that a few of the lines spoken by the characters was performed a little oddly. This is something that's true for all of the Metro titles, honestly, but it nevertheless was a small annoyance. Secondly, the performance of this DLC is noticeabl...
Ultimately, this DLC gives you 3-4 hours worth of highly-refined classic Metro gameplay that is wrapped up with a superb story and sold for a fraction of what other developers charge for similarly-sized DLC releases. It really doesn't get much better than Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels.
Unless you aren't a fan of Metro's original gameplay formula, you should absolutely pick yourself up this DLC.
