I already wasn't invested in much of the plot because in all honesty the voice acting is. Which is supposed to be played as this tragic moment and i felt. If you get this ending all the characters are upset and Love Interest Anna is sad and Artyom dies.

If you play it like a typical Doom FPS and murder everyone in sight or even in self defence you're likely to get the bad ending because there won't be enough crew members to provide you with precious lifesaving (and radiation curing) blood. If you have played nice and and kept the murdering to a minimum most of your crew should survive and you are cured. Apparently a blood transfusion is enough to cure catastrophic levels of radiation sickness (wonder why this wasn't a plot point in the HBO Chernobyl series?). Setting aside the issues with that alone the game ending kicks in after a fairly pedestrian QTE where the main character, Atryom, is all wounded and struggling to survive after getting the magical McGuffin cure to his sick love interest and so on, all fairly standard and slightly cliched stuff. So at the end of Metro Exodus you stumble your way through an area with what the game describes as radiation levels "off the charts". Huge spoilers for the ending of Metro Exodus, you have been warned etc. The game ended, it was all quite dramatic and of course i was curious to see how the bad ending went. So i just finished Metro Exodus (thanks Game Pass) and because I am nothing if not an achievement whore I made a point of doing most of the side-missions and playing in a way that would get me the "good" ending.
