Unlike its predecessor, however, Last Light spends considerably more time with the interactions between the warring underground factions than survival on the surface. Metro: Last Light is very much of a story-driven experience, and this story makes for a compelling adventure. Politics and human interaction play a more important role this time around at the expense of the beasties, and this has both its advantages and disadvantages. Artyom is now a full-fledged Ranger, and rumors that a Dark One has been captured sends our friend on another quest through the Metro where he encounters more things that go bump in the night, and discovers that the more terrifying monsters in the new Moscow are not the mutants that live above the surface, but the ones who dwell in the shadows under the guise of humans. It has been a year since the events that unfolded at the end of 2033. This offering is a direct sequel to that game (not the novel Metro 2034, which moves in an entirely different direction) and, like its predecessor, is a refreshing breath of air as opposed to the countless cookie-cutter shooters that are constantly being fed to us.Īlthough you need not play the first game, I would recommend it for the back story. Those elements were all present in Metro 2033, the predecessor to Last Light. Hiding in the dark, sinister depths of the Russian underground, the denizens of the rail lines have created a new society through which our hero, Artyom, must navigate in his quest to save the Metro and, perhaps, the last remaining bastion of humanity.ĭmitry Glukhovsky's novel earned its cult following through a balance of wit, suspense, terror and philosophy. Twenty years have passed since the nuclear holocaust forced the citizens of Moscow into the Metro, one of the largest rail systems in the world.
