TLDR;
Exodus has a game breaking bug and 4A Games doesn't do anything about it since over a year.
I'm disappointed and don't feel like the developer cares about it's game and fans.
First things first, i absolutely love the Metro series. Got all the games on Playstation4 and the first ones on Steam as well. So i played Metro 2033/Last Light/Redux a lot and multiple times, i became a real fan of the series.
Some days ago i finally found the time to start playing Exodus and what shall i say, it's fantastic. A proper 3rd game of a great Series.
I spent like 20+ hours in the first two chapters just to discover the every little corner of this world filled with details. I was totally immersed by the beautifully crafted postapocalyptic Russia.
Until yesterday. Until i wanted to make the Caspian Sea mission with Damir, in which you have to go through some caves after Damir pushes you up a ledge after he was terriefied by some bats.
In my and many others' case Damir does nothing, he just stands on the upper plateau, doing nothing. You can push him around a bit but he is broken. There are fixes like jumping along the edge he is supposed to help you up and then look in his direction for him to teleport to you like here
but this doens't work for me and it doesn't work for many others.
You can't jump from Damirs position inside the cave, because there is an invisible wall, you can't go back up the slide and exit the area to reset Damir. I managed to climb up from where we started, but at some point I just run against an invisible wall. The game even overwrote my savefile from before the mission. so I'm trapped in the area and can't do anything.
PC users who fixed the bug by noclip through this invisible wall reported, that Damir will be teleported later on in the cave, so they can continue playing the game after this "cheat". But that's not possible on PS4. 4A Games could at least add a ladder and/or remove the invisible wall in the cave, so you can jump in from above. That would skip a cutscene but i could live with that better than with a soft locked game which can't be continued.
I uninstalled the game, restored my PS4s' database, installed the game again, updated it to the newest version, downloaded my save file and tried again. Nope, doesn't help.
The official solution is to restart the chapter. Excuse me, but no. I put like 10 hours into this chapter. I'm only playing games in the evening after work and real life and I don't appreciate losing hours of progress due to a bug which is known for over a year and still not fixed.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to contact the developer directly to communicate. I am frustrated by the fact that i have put a lot of time into a game that cannot be finished.
If somebody has another tip for me, I will thankfully try, but due to my research there aren't any more solutions like the one discribed on PS4.
Otherwise I'm done with the game and can't recommend anyone to play and invest their time just to get trapped in a bugged mission. This really clouded my positive impressions on the game.
Copypasta from reddit, but wanted to share my experience with you, too.
