The rest of the Sam's Story DLC offers so much to enjoy, including a unique setting, new locations to explore, new challenges to face, and an excellent story to experience. While the performance hiccups and spotty voice acting can be a little grating, they're only minor problems. These last less than a second long when they happen, but they're still frequent enough that I feel it was worth noting. While the game runs very smoothly in terms of framerate, I had several moments of texture pop-in and animation stuttering over my eight-hour playthrough. Secondly, this DLC is noticeably less polished than the base game and The Two Colonels.
I recommend playing with Russian voice acting and turning on subtitles if you want to hear better voice acting, even if you can't understand what's said. It's not terrible, but it's far from excellent, either. Exodus, in general, is much better than Metro 2033 and Last Light, but it's still not on par with other AAA titles. The first is that, like with all of the Metro games and DLCs, the English voice acting is pretty spotty. While the Sam's Story DLC is almost perfect, there are a couple of issues I have with it.

On top of that, there's a new wrist gadget that can help detect the numerous traps found throughout Vladivostok. You can disarm these for crafting materials, but one wrong move and you're blown sky-high. You'll also need to worry about mines loosed into the waters by attacks on the Russian stockpiles during the war. There are new foes too, such as a massive giant bat that travels with a swarm of smaller ones. For example, the zombie-like Humanimals will hide underwater and camouflage themselves with moss to try and ambush you in waterlogged locations.
However, enemies will attack you in new ways that fit the setting. Like the base game, the DLC is structured nonlinearly, with an emphasis on exploration and finding gear upgrades and lore. Thankfully, the DLC also brings several fresh gameplay experiences to the table. Of course, a new setting is nothing without the appropriate gameplay design to accompany it.
