In the case of the area that we played, as I drove through the desert in a dilapidated old wagon to get to my next objective, pulling up the world map not only revealed the waypoint for the next main mission that would progress the story, but also highlighted different areas or paths (marked by a question mark) that held some kind of notable side mission or area to check out along the way. Though the two hours we had with the game was solely confined to the Caspian desert area, it's easy to tell that Metro Exodus has embraced a larger canvas to paint with when it comes to giving players more freedom and chances to explore, but without completely sacrificing the tight, narrative-driven experiences that made the past Metro games so memorable.

In a preview session with publisher Deep Silver in New York City, we had the chance to play about two hours of Metro Exodus to get a feel for the game before its release next month. " Metro Exodus is looking to expand on all of the foundations that its world has to offer with bigger, denser environments."
