![]() This once fast-paced city belonging to a super power of a nation now a destroyed wasteland that is actually pretty peaceful. If you take the time to look around outside you really see that they created a wonderful world in the weirdest way possible. Some of the characters practically sport shiny helmets for what should be hair, and the shadows could definitely be better, but the scenery is beautiful. The graphics in the game could be better in some parts, but are very good in others. The glimpses of that fateful day are all entertaining and leave you wanting to explore more. Watching from a cockpit as the nukes are raining down over the majestic city you were going to land in. There is a really good flashback in a downed passenger airplane that just leaves you in awe. The flashbacks to pre-apocalypse Russia are great. The game isn’t an open world type game like Fallout, but there is a lot to see. I complain about all the filters everywhere, but they made it so that I could explore around. Shoot a few people and hide until my screen wasn’t red/bloodied and my breathing was normal, then go step out for more. Combat at times seemed less survival, and more call of duty. Not like you really need them though, since you will usually regain your health pretty quick by hiding. Just like the filters, you’ll find medkits everywhere. For now, I’m just complaining of the game being dumbed down a little. You can explore to your hearts desire now, which is actually a lot of fun, but another part of the review. You just have to remember to change them, but you don’t have that pressure of time running out like you did in Metro 2033. The main difference is that filters are everywhere in last light. When you’re outside you have to keep changing the filter for you gas mask, just like in Metro 2033. Currency is almost useless because you never really need to buy anything. In Last Light you will find ammo, medkits, and filters, to the point of not being able to pick up anymore (except the filters, there’s really no limit to how many you can have, but you definitely won’t run out). In 2033 you found yourself scavanging and hoping your last few bullets would last you and that the last medkit you had would be enough, all the while trying to get to a safe spot before your gas mask’s filter ran out because you didn’t have another one. It’s not even hard to literally just run up to most of them and knock them out while the other soldiers watch, trying to shoot you. But if you’re seen, it’s extremely easy to kill 10-20+ soldiers without breaking a sweat. There are 2 endings to the game, and if you want the good one you’re supposed to be stealthy and try to kill as few humans as possible. ![]() You just don’t get that in the normal mode of Last Light.Ī good portion of the levels are against other humans, be it nazis, bandits, or communists, and you have the option of stealth, pacifist, or guns blazing action hero. Usually low on bullets and health is how I would describe my experience with Metro 2033. Crouched in a dark corner waiting for footsteps to please go away. Afraid that as soon as I peered my head I would be killed. I remember hiding around in Metro 2033 purely for survival. Unless you’re in Ranger Mode, it’s just too easy. Probably one of my main issues with Last Light. ![]() The thing that changes however is the difficulty. The enemies for the most part remain the same. You also run into the communists, which, like any communist state in history, is based on the ideals of equality but instead ruled by a corrupt leader. In your adventures you visit the Nazi side of the metro which is very serious about maintaining purity. Artyom is now a Ranger, one of the elite soldiers of the Communist faction of the metro. The atmosphere compliments the dark, almost defeated tone of post apocalyptic Russia. The story is pretty immersive and very entertaining. The game follows Artyom trying to capture and contact what looks to be the only remaining Dark One, all the while war is about to break out all around the metro over ownership of the newly found D6 military base, which is full of precious supplies. Once again you are Artyom dealing with the aftermath from the end of the previous game. ![]() Metro Last Light is a pretty anticipated sequel with a pretty big name to live up to.īased on the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky the game continues where Metro 2033 left off. Known for its realism, difficulty, and awe inspiring scenery. Metro 2033 is still one of the best post-apocalyptic games ever made. For anyone who’s played the original Metro 2033, the expectations are fairly high for Metro: Last Light.
