Metro: Last Light

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.

Last Light's difficulty is a bit more lenient than 2033's original survival gameplay. The story felt shorter and has less side stories, most of the missions are all connected to the main event. Thanks to the smaller cast of characters the game feels more enjoyable, memorable and not as chaotic as 2033. That of course doesn't make up for the lack of gameplay innovation, the story is shorter and there isn't much new to make the game be a sequel. I personally think it should have been a DLC because there really isn't anything revolutionary.

The weapon configuration and FPS system are unchanged from the previous game. You can jump straight into this game without any tutorial introduction if you have already played 2033. Also beware of moral points, it can change the ending drastically.

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.

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

METRO: LAST LIGHT (2013) is a exceptional FPS, survival horror game, and the second in the Metro trilogy. Inspired / based on the writings of the Russian novelist Dmitry Glukhovsky (The Metro trilogy).

The game follows Artyom as he further struggles through a dark apocalyptic Russian metro system, not only seeking help from his people, but redemption from his past. I've rated this game highly because of my love and enjoyment for it, as well as for how replayable it was.

The gameplay itself is highly playable, mechanically. While the controls may take a little getting used to, it's fairly intuitive. Smooth controls, straight forward goals, and ever expanding storyline. This game also has a wide variety of enemies; everything from mutants to Nazi's. The story, music, characters and gameplay are all great, in my opinion.

"Following the events of Metro 2033, Artyom, now an experienced ranger, confronted with guilt must go on a journey to face threats from outside the metro and within, as he finds out that he is humanity's last salvation for peace."

The world of Metro: Last Light is both breathtaking and devastating in its visuals. And though you may think to wander, every goal and objective is very clearly stated in the clip board journal along with a compass pointing to the next quest.

METRO: Last Light really sets the stage for this epic survival apocalyptic trilogy and a great sequel to the first game. This series are among my favorite games ever. I personally have found them to be highly enjoyable. My cup of tea.
