Metro: Last Light

After playing and enjoying Metro 2033, I was looking forward to last light. I was thinking to myself whether or not last light was going to live up to 2033. After playing last light I was amazed by how well done the detail of the entire game was. First of all they capture the emotions of characters perfectly and you really feel emotion for some of them such as the beggars also featured in 2033. throughout playing the game you feel like you are learning a lot about human nature, emotion, and morality. The game-play is really good as the enemies you face are not always easy especially if they are in groups giving you more of a challenge. A must play in my opinion and out of all the games I have played this to me has the best story-line of them all.

Really great game.

10/10

After replaying Metro 2033 Redux and now Last Light for the second time, now with more knowledge of the Metro universe as I've read the main trilogy and will soon read some of the spinoffs I've to say I played through the games like you are supposed to, stealthy and in a non lethal way. It was fun and fresh to do it without going guns blazing. I finally got the Redemption ending, the true ending and it was one amazing ride.

The game is a worthy sequel to the first game, bringing an original story that feels longer and better, but keeping the same tone and feeling that made the first one superb. Having characters like Khan and Miller returning from the previous game was great as they were two of my favorites and right from the beginning we get into the world once again and the missions and locations are in my opinion even better than the first game, except for the legendary library level, that's iconic. With new characters like Pavel, Baby Dark One, Anna and much more. Incredible additions. The overall atmosphere and every single detail of the whole game made this game superb. Remarkable experience only achievable in these games, one of a kind.

Graphics are great, but no better than the first game. Even with the tunnel setting, it is more linear and scripted than I would have liked. Some of the voice acting is mediocre, and there were a lot of recycled voices.

This is not a bad port, but there is still significant consolitis: the usual annoying checkpoint save system, too low FOV, mouse acceleration, unskippable intro video, etc... (some of these can be fixed in a config text file). There is an increased emphasis on action and repetitive stealth, possibly at the expense of survival and exploration elements. The AI is dumbed down with unrealistically poor sight in the dark, laughably poor hearing, and weak search behaviour. This was probably done to make a stealth approach easy enough for the average console gamer. You observe the AI's repeating patrol patterns, sneak past when an opening appears, then, when the path seems blocked, a scripted event or interactive item lets you sneak past again. repeat. repeat. repeat, and so on... While FarCry3 stealth was also unrealistic and repetitive, it was at least much more fluid and dynamic. The DLC is of a lower quality, with more bugs and poorly balanced difficulty.

Despite its flaws and the undeserved hype, this is still a decent game I can recommend quite easily.

Where do I begin from? OK, to be honest this is my favorite video game. Hands down, the best game ever(for me of course). Graphics-8/10 Plot and storyline-9/10 Gameplay-10/10 Enjoyment-10/10 Overall- 10/10 The graphics are really really amazing. And the interactivity is superb. It makes you feel like you are actually in the game, and it never fails to entertain you. The game never makes you feel bored, and each and every level is better than the last. The plot itself is enough to entertain you and the voice acting and animations are really realistic. It is scary sometimes to be honest when you are going in the dark but the first person experience just blued my mind. I mean literary it did. This is what makes this game so special from the other FPS games. Other games - Shoot, hide, run reload, shoot, repeat. But this my friends is one hell of a fun ride. Every move changes the whole game and what's about to happen next. There are more to it than shooting.

Just pure awesomeness. ENJOY!THE BEST GAME EVER!

A way better sequel that made people know Metro and got their attention, the underground society and it's conflicts, the characters and soundtrack, the bossfights and ending, this game is super you can tell just from it's intro.
