What people don't seem to realise is that finding the map in that facility took the lives of so many stalkers. We see occasional corpses of stalkers in the area carrying ammo for you to scrounge. There are arrows and markers everywhere, telling us where to go. Rooms that were already search will have "Searched, no maps" written at the entrance so the next person won't spend so much time in the radioactive area. How many stalkers died leading to this? A dozen perhaps. All sacrificed their lives in hopes that the next person that comes would find the map and escape this hellhole.

Two Colonels... Both fathers... Both dying for their sons...

What's even sad is that, I replayed the main game and found out in the Autumn Chapter when I hit up the radio... there's a frequency there where you'll hear Kirill searching for his father, already (or he already is) on the verge of crying. It's heartbreaking.

I feel so bad for that stalker he gets the map from He probably went through hell, no weapons, no support , no green stuff left and thought “ Oh , I finally found the maps Then on his way out he started to feel very tired, and he needed a break and leaned against the edge of the shelf and he started to dose off He didn’t wake up again

Metro exodus is a criminally underappreciated masterpiece. It is literally impossible to express the magnitude of the atmosphere that is built around its storytelling. It is the pinnacle of what I call a "psychologically heavy" game. Most games have a light almost comedic feeling about them even if their plot revolves around some really grim stuff like war and death. The Metro franchise on the other hand isn't just you playing a game it is a completely different experience. Whenever I get to play the franchise and especially exodus I get this sad and hopeless vibe bursting inside me, almost like I am a part of this broken, cold, dark and filled with misery world only to get a few glimmering moments of warmth when you talk and drink with Burbon and the traincart passenger, or when your brothers in arms and Anna await you after your lonely survival journey in the harsh outskirts of Moscow. Or when you are riding on the aurora celebrating Stepan's and Catja;s wedding. Then after all this they hit you right in the feels with this heartpumping experience of trying to escape from a literal hell only to fall short just for an inch and finally having to witness one of the most touching and amazing speeches given between a hero honoring another hero who passed away, redeeming the sacrifice that was made. I literally couldn't care less about its short length...this is what art should look like. To think that metro wasn't even nominated for 2019 GOTY just proves that not many are truly capable of appreciating the true meaning of what is beautiful in this industry, at least sekiro was indeed a beautiful game. Thank you 4A, for everything !

Everyone is praising Chlebnikov for finding the maps.But what about the guy that found them first and died with them in his arms right in the den of the Blind ones?

If Khlebnikov had survived, he would very likely had gone off with Kirill to Lake Baikal, and Artyom's group wouldn't have found the map.

Man i cried so hard both at the end of Artyom's campaing where Miller sacrifice his own green stuff for Artyom and now after playing The Two Colonels again... Khlebnikov was such a great character. I hate the fact that Metro Exodus is known by most people like: "that good looking graphical game used for ray tracing benchmark"... but the game itself is so much more than that and it has a beautiful story.

Somehow the game with a silent protagonist had an absolute shitload of emotional depth not to mention the DLCs depth as well

This game is so good but so depressing at the same time.

kirill says miller carried him through water and killed monsters..... miller accomplished his words that he promised to kirills fatger. rest easy comrades. i know this is justa video game but jesus Christ its a masterpiece

12:00 Most likely the best scene in the whole game series. You knew it was coming that way...the camera...him speaking alone. And there he sits, like he sat down weeks ago, his son calling him through the radio, hoping for a better live on a save place. But still, he saved a whole group and his son, without knowing.

Khlebnikov pulled an Altair and ensured that someone would find the map.

during the game we partially see Artyom's face but we never see the face of Khlebnikov. even at the end his face is covered with a gas mask. a hero without a face. that is what make this story unique. i like Khlebnikov's story more than main story line to be honest. excellent story telling...

So miller was already dying to radiation but he used the “antidote” on artyom

This was a great DLC.

I was disappointed that we didn't play as both colonels, one surviving with his son and another reliving his memories. Other than that, however, I thoroughly enjoyed it loved every second

And this dlc is exactly why I killed EVERY blind Gorrilla I encountered as Artyom on Hardcore mode.

This was heart taking both colonels who were and was trying to protect their family by all means even if that means theyll die only to see their family and loved ones make it out alive in a situation where it can only lead to 1 path

Kind of eerie to see Kleb grab the map from the soldier who was holding on it and then for him to die and another soldier grabs it from him. Makes me wonder who that soldier was.

Great DLC, and even greater final segment with the Blind Ones Lair. Felt my heart racing the entire way -- absolute hell! Thank you 4A for the amazing dlc and atmosphere!

Miller always gives me tears, what a soldier. o7

I've never cried with a video game ending before this, more than 35 years gaming. The final OST of this DLC was the final punch for me.

I just realized that Miller somehow managed to restart the generators of the base, when he entered the room the lights were on, the radioactive mist was gone and he wasn't wearing his mask. There most have been some way for the base to vent or filter out the air and was probably the main reason why Miller was able to get to the end and comeback while the others couldn't.

I always wonder what happened to his father. Good job baby!

I honestly did not expect the emotional impact that this DLC/story would have on me. Really one of the most poignant moments in video games as a story telling medium for me.

I couldnt stop my tears.. Had he taken the shot earlier, he could have survived.. heart touching n saddening at the same time

8:09 sad time begins 9:34 sad time ends, cry time begins.

I just got the DLC and holy hell, the atmosphere of the two colonels literally made me want to cry. Like man...the guy you play as wanted to help people, but at the same time, do the right thing to make sure that everyone (or most people) would be okay, but doing his duty and thinking he could come out with his brothers he was let down, backstabbed. All the people you are with either turn on you or are brutally killed in such a backstabbing way, gas, gunshots, lies. And then even after all of that, he goes on to try to keep his son safe, and by any means necessary. And at the very last stretch...I fell asleep...and never woke up. Then, the two colonels meet, both with the same purpose, and eventually the same outcome, passing the torch on to help prevent the past from happening, the way Miller talked to Chlebnikov`s body was just, it left us all speechless. This game has such deep connections with emotions and is very much a psychological game too. There isnt such a huge basis on war and shooting aliens or run and gunning. It paints a perfect story of trying to survive in a broken world where everything is hopeless. And man, I think im gonna cry after finishing this DLC

not everyone in metro games have the luck of artyom rip colonel

That dlc was so damn beautiful and sad

Just finished Metro yesterday and today I finished this DLC. It made me cry again. Truly a masterpiece

The last chapter and this dlc was my very highlight. I enjoyed and loved the whole game but these too chapters pushed this game in one of the best story shooters I ever played. The third time I look the end of two colonels and need to hold back my tears again... Amazing piece of art

Where legends cried RIP Khlebnikov , you were a good comrade.

Im so tired... 😭

Oh my God. This is story' of his father kirril. I thought we play as Miller who protect his colonel son. And this why i cry about this scene, the reason Miller did'nt get serum shot because he don't want to lost his family artyom...😭 BLAYTIFUL 👍

The cinematography in this dlc is really great. Especially the transition between slava and miller, very smooth and satisfying

When you go on the train, at the end and listen to the radio, you can catch the conversation Khlebnikov and Cyril. Pine Pine I alder how do you hear?

1:25 killed me 😭😭😭.

DLC consisting of 2/3 hours of burning bugs and rioters with flamethrower. And developers still menage to put so many emotions and story to this. Farewell Colonel.

Best dlc so far for this game, can't wait for Sam's dlc later on

Loved the dlc. Very story driven and immersive.

this game hits deeper then a spear to the chest. and to the devs that poured their blood sweat and tears into this i say thank you...now back to the 100th play through of sams story!!!

Well, this dlc made the whole story of Exodus even more touching and I almost cried at the end.. well, not almost, I cried.

this metro and its dlc are the most emotional game ive ever played ive played metro since the beginning and read every book.. i just hope they take the time to make a movie and actual movie. love the game i sadly got the sad ending on the campaign it all depends on how u play out the game .. love it

I ain't crying it's just raining from my eyes ok

I hope metro series wont end ever,like this is the most dramatic and inspiring, excellent story all blended together from the first title,with great if not the best grapich ive seen out there,but man this shit is so sad sometimes and deppresing seeing this 2 colonels dead,mybe could be more happy end but it is what it is,but i have so many qyestions,like what will happend with sams trip to home,what a bout aurora crew and litlle kid,what about that damn girl who had crush on my boi haha he said ill come back for you...damn man what an experience,will Artyom still continue to cruse around the world with his crew continuing Millers job,,holy shit

*Miller, over and out*

Man i teard up when Khlebnikov said he had to rest for a bit !!! Such a legend & Miller you son of bish being a hero in the end !! Metro series will forever be a big part in my life !!! Like the Golden Wind .

This game have a heavly strong story, which upscale this game same to The Last of Us 1. Beautiful graphics, strong plot story, and the so normal conversation, its just like u watch the combination of war + drama + family movie, damn. Two thumbs for the creator and the dev team who make such a great game.

Some of the most excellent story telling ever. That ending, wow.

“Hold on, son.” -Miller, 2035

😞 now we know the truth he didn’t make it but I salute to him for finding the maps

the ending is one if not the best of all video games or dlcs ive ever seen. this dlc is UNDERRATED SO MUCH

Easily one of if not the best stories in a game I've ever played. Shit would make a grown man cry

This 13:00 made my mouth wide open and tears suddenly coming out. That was really shocking truth for me.

Those Russians!!!! and their hard, real life, philosophical literature and art!!!! Aaaahhhh I love and hate it at the same time!!!!

Always great video 👍🔥

Sin sacrificio no hay victoria Descansa en paz camarada Miller

Bro this is so sad as hell, the things our fathers would do

I cried when I finished the two colonels it was such good gameplay and story

We knew, that Chlebnikov died but... It was just sad to see it, see how proud father died because of shitty timing...

This ending touched my heart god damn I can’t wait for the next dlc

"I love you son" God damn, I knew it was almost over 😭😭

Looks like i will never found game like this.. metro is such an emotional game

Khlebnikov is the only character to whom the miller has truly spoken.

"The Blind ones are scary!" Me who played the original metro 2033, redux, and played metro lastlight polis DLC: u new here?

The best dlc i ever played cant wait for anothe dlc

Masterpiece

When you start falling asleep in your favorite class 8:48

Honestly this is going to sound silly as hell but despite all of its faults, the metro series is honestly the biggest comfort for me. It’s helped me get through a lot of shit and gives me something to think and care about. I genuinely don’t think I’d be alive if it wasn’t for these games (and books), so here’s my cheesy way of saying thanks to it.

The salute says it all. Nothing but respect for this game

i was clapping and smiling and shaking my head at the ending. bravo. just bravo

I fell in love with this series when it started with Stalker Shadow of Tchernobyl (I know its not the same story but the work of the same dev team more or less)… Metro has a special place in my heart, those games are hardly underappreciated. Story, atmosphere, weapon and character designes…a masterpiece…

This DLC is a masterpiece

Cried for the main game finale (both good and bad endings) and cried for this finale, damn, love this game

By far the best DLC ever released in a Game imo. Sams Story wasnt as good, or not as emotional as this one. Still love to play it over and over. And i loved the ending when i first played through, the room was kinda familiar, and then, the Gate opened and Miller showed up. So awesome.

All because he didn't close the door right after he got inside.

It's 2023 and I just bought the trilogy of this game... This game made me cry .... Damn.. the story is Oscar worthy . 2 dad's dying to save thier sons... No AAA games can touch games like this were they all depend on graphics and battle but don't tell a story where the player will get attached....

I swear.. I saw a dark one at the ending when he's dead and the shutter opens before Miller walks in. I didn't see it here, but I am on my phone. It happened in a flash and just teleported around, then vanished. Happened really fast. Maybe it was just a glitch..

the heartbeat in this was really weird it felt like my blood was actually pumping through my ears.

The music at 0:30 “nonononono. Waitwaitwaitwait”

Made me tear up a bit....

when i first played through the main game I didn't think too much of what happened with the colonel and OSKOM but when I played the dlc it was alot more depressing and I felt so bad when the colonel died after all he fought for. Great game and dlc's.

There Colonel Khlebnikov who got the maps from that unidentified stalker, who probably did the same thing Khlebnikov did "I finally found the maps, but I just need a breather" but imagine there were others who found the maps, from further and further inside, only to stop to get some rest and....never waking up, making another checkpoint for the next brave soul to find them and bringing them closer to the exit. idk maybe I'm thinking too much.

This is where man cries

Wasnt until the battle segment that i realized, holy shit these are all the bodies we see walking through as Artyom. Its really cool they told that story cos it looks insane when you see bodies crowded by the door trying to escape the gas and when you hear the chatter on the radio at the end of Taiga. The true horrors of man, something i definitely see happening in a real world situation.

God, this even makes the Unbreakable Patches shed a tear..two fathers risking it all to save the ones they loved.

8:08 Me after drinking McDonald’s Sprite:

2 colonels & no kfc. There will be poultry.

5:56 i wonder if thats the same guy who wad by the General

what a great story, uncharted, red dead and metro truly r exceptional games

INCREEDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished it and wanted to watch It again

Rest in piece comrade... 🤯😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧

I haven't never cried to video game Until now

RIP Colonel Khlebnikov

Thank you Miller.....

*Salute* Who else saluted at the screen?

Girls - I can't believe he didn't cry at the titanic do men even have feelings Boys - 11:35
