Been playing Metro Exodust on Microsoft Game Pass, because screw Epic. It's pretty good, still has that jank that you'd expect but not too much. The larger levels does make it feel more like OG Stalker, though more mainstream-friendly and greater in variety of environments. Been playing it on Easy, because, you know what? I want to. Get over it. It is really easy on Easy, though. But whatever, I'm having fun playing it and exploring around environments and shooting up bandits and weird mutants.
Also, screw Epic.
