The ray tracing is less apparent in outdoor areas. So, I had to be more aware of my surroundings while keeping a close eye on the light sensor on my wrist to make sure remained in shadow. While I could still see spotlights in darkened areas, they were slightly less apparent in places where multiple light sources blended together. Other benefits include characters that look more realistic than they do in the harsh lighting of the original and monsters that aren’t just shadows with teeth.Īnother benefit is that the game is a little more challenging when there isn’t such a stark difference between light and dark. These situations are nowhere near as dark and gloomy as they are in the original game, but it looks far more natural and allows you to take in the world’s details. However, I feel that the most stunning use of ray-traced light is just in ordinary situations, such as when sunlight is streaming through a window. Similarly, you can see all the details of the bus station instead of having to fight off mutant creatures in pitch darkness.

Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition: Still dark, but lamps actually let you can see what you’re fighting.
But most other times, the deep shadows simply robbed players from taking in the detailed environments, since they were usually either completely hidden or could only be seen in small bits using a dim flashlight. For instance, enemies with headlamps stood out like lit-up Christmas trees. The extreme contrast between light and dark was beneficial in some ways. Candles, lanterns, and spotlights hardly seemed to do anything to cut through the black, making it extremely hard to see anything when stealthily crawling through warehouses, sewers, caves, and other darkened environments. The problem, as I noted at the time, is that the pure black shadows seem to swallow up all the available light sources. Although this was innovative use, especially given how it’s one of the first games to adopt real-time ray tracing, there were instances when the shadows seemed to go overboard and event undermine the game’s excellent graphics. The original launch of Metro Exodus mainly used ray tracing effects to create deep shadows. Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition: It’s nice to see everyone. With the graphics turned up above recommended levels, my framerates generally stayed between 50 to 60 fps in most places while some outdoor areas hitting as high as 75 fps, even with the quality settings at Extreme at DLSS turned off. In fact, I think the Enhanced Edition might perform better in some areas. Surprisingly, the enhancements didn’t impact performance as much as I thought they would when compared to the original game. Additional effects such as tessellation, advanced PhysX, and Hairworks were left on, but DLSS was not. I don’t have an RTX 3090 card or a 4K monitor, so I spent most of my time playing at 1440p resolution with the ray tracing quality set to Ultra. Long requested settings include the ability to completely turn off motion blur instead of just minimizing it and a genuine Field of View (FoV) slider to adjust the picture for ultra-widescreen monitors.
The video options menu has gotten a bit of a makeover to emphasize RTX features, such as trading in Texture Filtering for Variable Rate Shading. New Ultra 4K and RT Extreme configuration hardware requirements are available for those who have exceptionally high-end rigs.
Also, emphasis is on the CPU core counts instead of listing specific models. Overall, the system requirements aren’t too different from what they were two years ago, except that they now require graphics cards capable of ray tracing as part of the minimum spec.

The new features include several ray tracing upgrades, 4K textures, and DLSS 2.0 support.
