Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

A very thin week (just 7 comments): little signal and a fairly detached tone. Talk centers on spam, Russian-language support and the video creator.

The Russian-language question again

2 of the week's 7 comments (~29%) touch on the lack of Russian: one shrugs it off ("most buyers are Russian"), the other imagines a Russian company buying the rights. Far more offhand than at the announcement.

Comments called 'trash'

~29% of the week's comments: one complains about the amount of 'trash' in the comments, another is just an off-topic music link. A sign of a thread fading out.

Praise for the video creator

~29% of the week's comments, in Ukrainian, praise the video, its closing voiceover and its creator. This is praise for the content, not the game itself.

Politics, war and the Russian language

Controversy
15 %

The war in Ukraine and the absence of a Russian dub trigger heated exchanges: support for the anti-war message, accusations of propaganda, and anger from Russian speakers.

50 % Back the message and team 50 % Propaganda / no Russian language

Atmosphere, horror and the Dark Ones

Dominant take
14 %

The trailer's dark tone, the Dark Ones' return, the hallucinations and claustrophobic horror win praise. Many hope for more of the supernatural than Exodus had.

« "How many hallucinations do you want in the new game trailer?" "Yes." »

Hunter and the Stranger: who do we play?

Controversy
13 %

Hunter turned Führer and a new, speaking protagonist split opinion: relief that Artyom keeps his retirement, regret at his absence, and theories that the hero is an amnesiac Hunter.

55 % Open to a new hero 45 % Want Artyom back

In-house engine and technical prowess

Dominant take
11 %

Commenters thank 4A for keeping its own engine instead of Unreal 5 and praise the visuals, optimisation and "short film" direction. Many worry about the PC power required.

« Love that they are using their own engine to and not giving in to URE5 »

Open world or linear metro?

Controversy
5 %

After Exodus, the community is torn: some want a return to tunnels and linearity, others a open or semi-open world blending surface and metro.
