Out today, or tomorrow if you live in the nothern past-isphere, Metro Exodus is already an early contender for game of the year. We reviewed the game on PC - which according to reports was the most stable pre-release build. As is the way, some have raised concerns over console performance and a few little issues here and there. Like HDR on PC not working as it should.

No doubt 4A Games are addressing the bigger technical issues here with Metro Exodus. Prior to release our review guide hinted at the above, which is why we omitted referencing the issues with HDR or the fact that DLSS didn't work in the bench-marking tool. We can't wait to see the improvements made with DLSS rendering too, as it's a strange bit of tech that actually improves over time.
