had to reduce the difficulty setting on metro exodus to get past a particular room. tried for hours with no success think i just beat the game. terrible gaming experience. i recommend this for no one. the final level was narrative garbage. Metro Exodus Finally finished it this evening. I had to push through it just because I was determined to finish it. Although I didn't hate it, I didn't like it either. It was not a good gaming experience but it had enough substance for me to finish it. This game and its two predecessors -- Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light -- made me hate the survival horror genre. Actually, Metro Exodus isn't pure survival horror but it had many of its elements. What I hated the most about this game is the "immersive" part where, like in real life, when you go on a mission with little planning, you're often confused as to where you should go and what you're supposed to do once you get there. Things also don't go as planned so you're not sure what to do. It happens in real life but in a video game environment, it's very frustrating and annoying and makes you want to rage quit. If a mission path is just a snake-like hallway/corridor, the end is clear. However, if you end up in a more open environment or one with multiple paths, you're not exactly sure where you're supposed to go. You could end up going around in circles trying to look for that exact point where the checkpoint save gets triggered. Grrrrr... I also hate the gas mask. I bought this three-game bundle for $8.99. I didn't like any of these three games. Too stressful. Too frustrating. Stupid gas masks. Stupid compass that's mostly useless. Stupid checkpoint save system where 10-15% of the time, I had no idea where to go and what to do. I feel so free now that these games are finally done.

Rage 2
I'm almost done with this game...I think. I triggered what I was led to believe was the ultimate mission. But who knows.
Love this game. Both the first person land combat and vehicular combat are fantastic. The "superpowers" (actually the superpowers are technology driven but they feel more supernatural) are also incredible. The guns are great. The only flaw is that there's a repetitive feel to everything you're asked to do. I mean, you have to really love the combat mechanics to tolerate doing the same stuff over and over again. But, to me, the combat mechanics are great.

Wow! Woke up fresh and rejuvenated after finishing the Metro Exodus game last night (and hence, the entire Metro trilogy). Never playing that type of game again.

Rage 2
Done. Finished the final mission and completed roughly 90% of all the open world stuff (e.g., Bandit dens, Arks, Mutant nests). I don't think I need to do more. Great game.

So, I'm done with my current two games (that I own) -- Metro Exodus and Rage 2. I can either work on my backlog or buy a new game. The only game that's on sale at the PS Store that's within my $10 budget is Assassin's Creed Unity. I was planning on playing it one day, but I don't think it'll be now. I'm not sure I'm in an "Assassin's Creed" mood.

I really miss the real time tactics games like Desperadoes III and Shadow Tactics. I'm thinking of getting Commandos 2 (Remaster) and Commandos 3 (Remastered), as they're the only two games in the Commandos series that are available on the PS4.
I generally love the Borderlands type of game the most because of the massive variety of guns and the fun nature of the action skills but...damn...the real time tactics games are right up there.

I've been making some good progress in Grim Fandango. It is quite a well-written adventure game.
