Exodus from the Earth

A great "jank" shooter- essentially an old school, low budget Half-like. The story isn't anything special, but it's a fun adventure with a surprisingly long campaign for the genre. There's a lot of cool Y2K scifi design and I can see that a lot of love and effort was poured into this game. The highlight of Exodus for me was when you first get access to a vehicle and you take it with you for a few levels, hopping in and out to clear obstacles - it's a gameplay style highly reminiscent of the excellent "Highway 17" part of Half Life 2. There are a few levels with confusing moments where I wasn't sure where I needed to go that stopped the game from being the smoothest ride, but if you have the patience to push through these moments (looking at a guide occasionally saves frustration) it's a very underrated 00s FPS!

Basically, it's a 5/10. Not really a terrible game but it's very boring. The plot is pretty stupid and nothing to write home about. The gameplay is... fine? I guess, at least aside from the driving sections, which are absolute garbage. The enemy designs and variety are mid. If you're really hurting for an early 2000s shooter, it does the job, but there are just better games out there.

It's not perfect but worth a retro FPS ride.

Короче, не запускается нормально на Win11. Один раз запустилось и всё. В настройках графики даже разрешение невозможно сменить (пусто), установка совместимости не помогает. Если делаете версию для Стим, так сделайте нормально, чтобы работало хотя бы. Игруха то может крутая, но здесь неработоспособно.

Ok so aside from the fact that this is a generic FPS this is at least a passable generic FPS. It works fine, has that classic feel, and there was clear love put into it

Норм но Чайзер круче.
