![]() Released 16th May 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Play them in tandem and you have some thoroughly excellent gaming ahead of you. Metro: Last Light is a great ride, and has improved on the also great Metro 2033. And for real fans you can grab the novel Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky for a bit of light reading and find out more about the where the games come from. There are also a few defining moments which will have you wanting to do a second play through to see what the outcome is. For more game time you have Ranger Mode which has you playing without any HUD and significantly less resources to find, which after playing through on normal might be a good thing. You could probably chop it out in under 10 hours if you wanted. So remember to have some spare filters, but please, do choke to death at least once, especially if you are playing with a good quality headset.Īs is the norm with first person shooters these days, Metro: Last Light isn’t the longest game around, about 15 hours for me, with a heap of exploring done. This happens when you need to change the filter on your gas mask, heavy breathing moves to laboured, and then gagging and choking. The audio is equally impressive, with one sound really setting the mood the sound of suffocation. Graphically, Metro: Last Light is a fantastic looking and atmospheric game, with a great variety of urban, rural, and underground locations to take in as you follow your compass, and your heart. Don’t despair though, there are still plenty of mutants roaming around to mow down. Which is fitting, since its also the worse game of the two. Stealth also plays a big roll this time around with one achievement even being awarded for completing the game with only certain ‘required’ human deaths to your name. With so much special attention given to Metro 2033 Redux however, Last Light Redux isnt nearly as essential by comparison. Even the traders in the beautifully overpopulated Metro Stations seem to have access to plenty of stock. Veterans of Metro 2033 will be glad to know that one year later ammo seems to be less of a problem in the city with massive amounts freely strewn through the Metro and above ground. Ammo and weapons also need to be acquired and with a variety of upgrades available for all weapons it is a constant decision on which setup to go forward with. To mix it up and keep things interesting you are required to find a decent supply of filters for your gas mask which needs to be worn when above ground. Typically I hate games that are this linear, but thanks to the great story and interesting characters it didn’t seem like a chore at all playing through the devastated city of Moscow. So, Metro: Last Light finds you in a very linear, story-driven first person shooter. And lets face it, it would be a crime to miss such a decent game at the price it can be found at these days. Not only because it will bring you up to speed with the story and characters, but because it is a mighty fine game in its own right. For those who haven’t played Metro 2033, I recommend you grab it and play it through before getting in to Metro: Last light. Metro: Last Light is familiar territory with the tweaks and bug fixes you would expect in a follow up title. Those who have played the first game, Metro 2033, will know what to expect here.
