The GOG version should include the non-Redux versions along with any purchase of Redux like other games and remasters have.
Most likely it didn't sold well and are trying to do a second release.Stupid they won't put it on GOG since it's been out a year and cracked, but whatever. Haven't even played Last Light yet, so maybe by the time I get around to it GOG will have it.
But i *really* enjoy exploration in games, so in theory Exodus would be great. However i do not enjoy random exploration for exploration's sake - i want interesting stuff, which is why i prefer games with more compact worlds and for open world games i prefer the abstracted overworld approach (think Fallout 1) instead of the seamless open world approach (think Fallout 3), even if sometimes developers do manage to do the latter good enough (think New Vegas, Morrowind or Gothic 1).
Metro Exodus is a by the numbers sequel with the more is better mentality without actually adding something interesting new, you just do the same things you did on the previous games but with a bigger quantity of it. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but the feeling of the exploration really changed, going to the surface was something special and dangerous, a proper desperate journey into the unknown on the previous games with the feeling of "Oh, shit, this wont end good.", now the feeling is "What loot I gonna get on that corner?". It is alot more generic AAA open world shooter than it needed to be. Still fun but disappointing.
The plot is also very weak and I'm really annoyed with the constant circle jerk around Artyom, it was a fun game but it felt their idea for a sequel was how to make the game bigger without necessarily thinking how to support that. Stalker, this isn't.
Getting rid of the paranormal stuff was the best move they could have made.

Without spoiling to others who haven't played the game yet... they didn't :-P.
Half the latter part of the game is Artyom tripping balls on radiation magic... :-P
Though it was toned down, there are several aspects of the game that can only be explained if you think of it as science fantasy instead of pure sci-fi.
Metro: Call of Exodus.
