    The meat behind this DLC, the Kshatriya mission, is phenomenal. The most criticized element of Metro has always been it's linear gameplay.

The most criticized element of Metro has always been it's linear gameplay. This Kshatriya Mission addresses exactly that and gives us Metro fans an opportunity to explore and endure the dangers of the metro universe at our own freewill. It takes the Linear experience that Metro offers and gives you an amazing, yet condensed, sandbox version. For 5 bucks, this experience is amazing, and is a must buy for anyone who owns Metro LL and always wondered what it would like to be able to explore the tunnels without a mandatory guide.
    This DLC also throws in 2 other missions that were not in depth enough, or large enough, to release alone. I feel like they are just bonus content with them being a mere linear stealth mission and the other a heavy artillery horde defense mission. I feel that these two missions have brought the DLC a lot of negative attention and that if they would not have been included as extra content, in what is really a 5 dollar Metro sandbox experience, that the DLC would have received more positive reviews.

    10/10 from me. Kshatriya makes the heart of this DLC and is more than worthy of 5 bucks. I am not going to rate the DLC down just because it gave us two extra bonus missions of less than superior quality.    … Expand

    The Faction Pack contains 3 missions that are very well put together. I am not a fan of the Heavy Squad mission but it not awful (about a 6 in my book) but the other 2 are well done and fun to play. The entire thing will take you 3+ hours or so to play and its still very enjoyable. The Polis Station was my favorite with the surface, etc. and I enjoyed the Sniper team one as well.The Faction Pack contains 3 missions that are very well put together.

    Its a good addition to a great game, albeit shortish.    … Expand

    And the reason the DLC is shorter than normal DLC is for three reasons. 1. It cost 5 dollars which is about half of a normal DLC. 2. These were actually made after the main game meaning they weren't stripped from the original game and then made DLC. 3. 4A games is a rather poor company compared to other gaming giants, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Naughty Dog etc. and for them to make this DLC is damn well impressive.    … Expand

    The best Last Light DLC. You get 3 varied missions, one as each faction. One has you facing the classic communist human wave attack as the Nazis, another has you sneaking through a level with silenced weapons as a communist, and the last bring a whole new take on Metro missions. As a Ranger, you are put in an area with no money and bare bones supplies. You go out into the area and collectThe best Last Light DLC. You get 3 varied missions, one as each faction.

As a Ranger, you are put in an area with no money and bare bones supplies. You go out into the area and collect items, kill enemies, and loot in order to get money. Bring that back to the beginning of the level and you can buy weapons, suits, ammo, etc. It was really refreshing and thoroughly enjoyed the DLC. Recommended for any Metro fan itching for more.… Expand

    You buy this DLC for one mission only--- Kshatriya. You can call it a throwback to the original STALKER series. Go out to the world, gather stuff and sell them. You make money, upgrade your gear, suit, ammo and others. It's almost like an non-linear RPG fps. It's quite long. But since I enjoyed it so much, it's never long enough. Damn fine piece of work this is!

    The Kshatriya mission is fantastic! If you do not like the other two missions, like I didnt, then just don't play them. You actually don't have to!
    But this Kshatriya mission, like others have said, is amazing and is worth more than 5 bucks alone. Everytime I play Metro I find myself shouting, "NO PAVEL! I WANT TO GO THIS WAY! STOP MAKING THIS SO LINEAR!"

А вот у миссии за снайпера красных другой подход к геймплею, там использована совершенно новая карта, причем на поверхности, и все это напомнило мне "Один выстрел - один труп". Все проходится в меру быстро и интересно, и задание успешно выполняется. Задание за рейнджера Полиса не запомнилось ничем, что отличало бы его от основной игры. В целом, дополнение выше среднего.… Expand

    The DLC offers three missions (one of which is simply awful) and falls short of the captivating, emotional story from Last Light. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.73]

    Ill conceived and illogical if following orders, Heavy Squad is the weakest slice of this anthology.

    These three chapters are what this new DLC offers to Metro fans, and I have to say that if it weren't for the Kshatriya chapter, the value of spending money on the other two chapters would be questionable as they're very similar to situations and gameplay mechanics found in the main story. Kshatriya alone makes it all worthwhile however, featuring reasonably generous and unique additional content in a DLC pack which won't break the bank.
