The Two Colonels is the first story expansion for Metro Exodus. It takes players back to the claustrophobic tunnels of the Metro, exploring the story of Colonel Khlebnikov and his son Kirill as they attempt to survive the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world.
The expansion offers a fascinating look at life in the Metro before the events of the main game. The story is well-written and engaging, providing a deep insight into the political and social structures of the underground world. The relationship between Colonel Khlebnikov and his son is heartwarming and adds a human touch to the otherwise dark and bleak world of Metro.
In terms of gameplay, The Two Colonels is similar to the main game, with players navigating through the dark and dangerous tunnels of the Metro while facing a range of enemies. The expansion adds some new weapons and enemies, which add some variety to the gameplay, but overall, it feels very similar to the main game.
One of the most impressive aspects of The Two Colonels is the level design. The underground tunnels and buildings are expertly crafted, with a real sense of detail and atmosphere. The use of lighting and sound also helps to create a sense of tension and fear, making the game a genuinely immersive experience.
Overall, The Two Colonels is an excellent expansion that adds depth and detail to the world of Metro. It's a must-play for fans of the series, and anyone who enjoys atmospheric first-person shooters will find plenty to enjoy here
