You still need to manage your gas mask, filters and use military grade bullets (used as currency) for extra damage but there are very long, extended sequences where Artyom needs to trudge across the surface of Moscow or sneak through tunnels avoiding the Reich.

Interestingly, this makes the game much more action-focused even when playing in the default survival mode. More ammo types and more types of explosives. For one, there's an increased set of weapons to use. The world building is slightly better than in Metro 2033, if only because it's built upon rather than an introduction.īeing a Ranger in the Spartan Order has its perks. And not just because it's a horror-themed FPS. The feeling that Metro: Last Light gives off over its predecessor is not only a feeling that seems slightly more polished, but one that feels innately familiar. How the Metro works and the government therein, the monsters and ways to dispatch them. In addition to the specific reason as to why that occurred, Artyom's awareness and understanding of the world around him seems to grow with the player.

What's more is that after the events of Metro 2033, Artyom is made a Ranger in the Spartan Order. The elusive but hidden morality system is still present. Making them feel slightly disjointed, if not ethereal or dreamlike - depending on your perspective, this may be seen as a positive thing. Mild spoiler: The interesting about these first two games is that they have multiple endings but there is no mechanic to import any of these decisions into the next one.

And perhaps to the game's own detriment, the linear, highly narratively-driven structure of the game makes it semi-unapproachable. While Metro: Last Light can be played isolated from the series, you will lose a considerable amount of context if you do. There's going to be vague spoilers throughout this review due to the connected nature of the series. Metro: Last Light Redux is another remaster of sorts - graphical and balance updates.
