Metro last light review full#

I enjoy the larger narrative in play with Metro Last Light and the world-building is where the game does its best narrative work, however, Artyom is left feeling oddly flat just like the first game. I did run out of ammo at one stage but that was quickly fixed by stealthing the next human encounter. Only in two levels did I die because I ran out of air filters on the surface. Similarly, supplies can run low, though not nearly as bad as they did in 2033. I cannot imagine how tedious it would playing on harder difficulties. The sections built like a survival horror game work well and stealth is a must in several sections. The underground sections in the Metro areas, as they were in the first game, are spook. And for a game that came out in 2013, it portrays those terrors in well-detailed fashion and atmospheric lighting.

I enjoyed the experience, but the world is dark and full of terrors. To say I had ‘fun’ playing Metro Last Light would be an odd phrasing.

Of course, you escape with help and set out on a journey that explores more of Metro’s world and deals with the fallout of Artyom’s decision in the previous game and what he’ll choose to do with this child should he be able to make contact once again. Unlucky for the child and Artyom you’re both captured by Nazis. When you find the dark one, it’s a child. “Finish the job you started,” Artyom is told as he heads out and above to the radiated surface.

On top of all this Artyom is haunted by the decision he made to bomb the Dark One’s every day as he questions his own decisions.Īt the start of the journey, you’re sent to track down a Dark One that was spotted. A year later, it’s still the end of the world, there’s still Nazi’s out there, and big mutant creatures still roam above and underground. The bombs dropped when our protagonist, Artyom was a child, but he also dropped his own bombs on the mutants called ‘The Dark Ones’ at the end of the first game. Metro Last Light is set in a post-apocalyptic Russia.
