    I love the setting of Metro games. But I can only say Last Light is a notch above average. Visually it's looks good, the sound quality is well done, and the story is fantastic. But it really breaks down in gameplay. This is more of a game where the devs want you to see how good looking they made this game instead of "Hey, we want you to have a ton of fun!".

This is more of a game where the devs want you to see how good looking they made this game instead of "Hey, we want you to have a ton of fun!". Going through out this game is both extremely linear and extremely slow paced. While I get that an underground subway system is supposed to be linear, even on the surface the path is incredibly narrow. Much of the story is told, as in the first, from a companion that travels with you through the majority of the game. You follow them through the tunnels of surface areas as they guide you along delivering whatever part of the story they're meant to convey in a precise and deliberate manner. These slow paces are broken up but closed area combat sequences that play out more like a multiplayer match then a single player shooter. You take your slow pace through the tunnels to an area full of enemies, you pretty much have to kill em all to progress (some you can sneak around, but task requires a lot of patience..to much for a game touted as a shooter, tho it it is a necessity at higher difficulty levels), and then it's back to more tunnels. Some of the combat instances are pure arena style, you in a small space forced to fights hordes of enemies and often one big boss. Sadly this slow tunnel travel then fast paced arena gun battle just doesn't work for me. It's deliberate and there';s nothing that offers a balance between the two the entire game.… Expand

These are some of the words I'd use to describe Metro: Last Light. However, none of those words necessarily mean you're going to have a particularly bad or boring experience, if done correctly which these developers have clearly done. This is a notable improvement on the first game, with more satisfying gun-combat, and an incredibly well-presented murky world, that in my opinion is not far off the attention to detail you see in something like Bioshock Infinite. The story arc was a bit tough for me to follow, being that I never finished the first game, but still you don't need to worry as Artyom narrates the basics through the loading screens and there are notes you can access to catch up. Add that to a rich amount of NPC conversations you can eavesdrop on, and there's certainly more to this shooter than just shooting at monsters. Actually, that's one of the areas that I wasn't satisfied with. The monsters you fight are far less fun that when stealthily trying to take out guards or goons. Mostly, the monsters just charge you very quickly, you fire some shotgun rounds and they're dead. The only other thing to raise issue with, is the major lack of freedom there is to either make any kind of meaningful decisions, or to move about. It's literally like being on a beautifully-crafted fairground ride, more so than other games in this genre. Had the player been given slightly more freedom to explore or do things off the beaten track then this game could have been a 9+. Still, I heartily recommend checking out this game that is if you like your action served onrails.… Expand

    Too bad a good game was ruined by the lack of ammo and filters.Sorry metro but I am not that guy who redo the whole chapter after almost completing it ,due to silly things like the lack of ammo and filters.I have completed about 65% of the game,it is about 7/10 until I reached chapters with the problem I described above.This why I deleted it and gave it only 5/10

    The graphics on a high-end machine are superb. The best FPS I've ever seen, even besting Crysis 3. Gameplay is really a lot of fun. Only bad point is the story is extremely disjointed an really hokey in some points. I don't know if there was something lost in translation, but some of the dialogue is really corny, and full of non-sequetors. Some of the technology and plot devices are pretty unbelievable, but this is post-apocolyptic video game, so I'm not going to quibble.    … Expand

    It's a lot like the first Metro, both in redeeming qualities and in flaws.

The trouble is the various factions Artyom deals with are not really believable. As characters, they're too cartoony and not well-motivated. This wasn't as much a problem in the first game, but in this one it's more central to the plot, which is a problem. I would have preferred for the lore to paint a more morally grey picture.

    The graphics are much better, and the bleak setting is oddly beautiful. A lot of effort went into the map design. I wish they hadn't added background music to the combat, as that takes away from the atmosphere. It would have been better to leave the odd radio running in the distant room like the first Metro did.

    The combat is a bit more fluid than the first one, but also much easier. I beat the game once so far, and I switched the difficulty to hardcore early in my playthrough because normal was too easy. Even on hardcore Artyom can withstand a grenade blast and more than twice as many hits as enemy humans. Your worst enemy in the game is, as usual, lack of gas masks. IMO, they're a little bit too scarce, and you can't stop to enjoy the scenery when you're running towards the next filter.

    Overall I don't regret my purchase, and I hope Deep Silver makes more of these games. However, I wish the game had a bit more RPG elements. A few side-quests would really add a lot.    … Expand

    Just when the I thought the graphics of Metro: 2033 was insane; Metro: Last Light does one better. Don't be fooled by the people who complain they can't get 60+ FPS with max settings. The developers have really pushed the graphics to next generation and it shows. The AI is vastly improved (still room for improvement) and the compelling story of the game continues. This game is a must have.

You do get to go all over ruined Moscow, but there's never any real fear the game does a lot of hand holding and on later levels even highlights enemies for you through walls. I was low on ammo in just one level, everywhere else, there's ammo stashed around every corner and in very obvious places. Gas mask filters all over the place. At the end of the game I racked over 40 minutes of gas mask free time.

    For a very dark game, the stealth part is fairly lacking you get one shot kills with throwing knives, and can put a silencer on just about anything, even shotguns. Enemies don't camp, don't use night vision, even if it is in the models. So stealth one hit kills are not a problem. When the battle does break out, it's really short, because 90% of the enemies have headlamps. Shoot the headlamp, I think I racked more headshots in this game than in any other game ever. Just aim for the lamp. All together, I enjoyed the dark gritty atmosphere until the supernatural stuff started to pop all over the place. This felt just wrong.    … Expand

    Metro: Last Light was an impulse purchase for me, and I started my game experience rather dubious about its prospects. I had read reviews saying "inconsistent difficulty" and "poor AI", but also "strong story".

    The tutorial and first level or so didn't impress me, but dear lord does the story and intensity ever ramp up! My first playthough has been on Hardcore, and it's earning the name. The gameplay is intense and immersive. It's been a long time since a game has raised my heart rate like Last Light does.

    Pros:
    Involving, mature story with adult themes and lots of background detail.
    An amazing amount of custom voice acting and animation.
    Although linear, has solid level design and no "infinite bad guys".
    Intense "survival horror" combat mixed with standard CoD type combat.
    Pretty good enjoyable stealth implementation.
    Oh my God, they're not kidding with the "Mature" rating! NOT FOR CHILDREN

    Cons:

    Not particularly innovative in gameplay mechanics. Experienced FPS players will recognize everything that comes along. Familiar isn't necessarily bad, though.

    Quite linear. More like CoD than Bioshock. Personally this doesn't bug me, but several other reviewers have complained that the world isn't sandbox. It's not that kind of game.

    In order to get my heart thumping, the game does occasionally throw multiple strong and fast opponents at me, while I have poor visibility or sight lines. Some may call this "inconsistent difficulty". Personally, I find the intensity and challenge to be a positive quality.

    Had to turn off "Advanced Physics", it was lagging the game out. If you're having massive slowdown, turn off the Advanced Physics option in the GamePlay menu!

Thanks to that, i bought this game... good thing I had a good discount...

    Plainly... If you are like me and like post apocalyptic games, you should check Fallout for RPG, Stalker series for action with rpg elements and Rage for fps... IF however you want to waste money, buy this brand new, unpolished, empty attempt of a game of this genre.

    Im sad because not only i feel cheated by the 8+ score critics gave to this game, i feel cheated for coming from a marvelous fps post apocalyptic game from Bethesda called Rage... Maybe you played and didnt like rage, fine. BUT if you didnt like rage, dont even consider playing this... Thousands of empty strings are given, you pull and at the end... nothing. You will end the game and ask yourself, "wtf? thats it?" no feeling of "damn man what am i gona do now?" or maaaan this game... this game... was EPIC" nope none of that.

    Do you know those games with inumerous doors and NPCs in a city but none actually interact with you? ok so if that isnt bad enough, this game makes it worst by making them SEMI interact... let me explain.
    NPCs will be taking care of their affairs, many small situations that you would think "oh this might lead to something!" but it doesnt... i saw 2 maybe 3 sub quests? and none with relevant rewards, animations or anything whatsoever. It feels so unfinished... like they started something that would be massive but settled with just the bones...

    This game and its overrated score make me so irritated... I finished the game in 17 hours... 17 hours for a post apocalyptic game? and thats because i stayed afk thousands of times... i bet this game is max 10 hours... What irritates isnt the size of the game, but the fact that you see millions of possible interactions and none of them are real lol.... you follow stuff just to realize it meant nothing at all! I dont want to spoil (if you are willing to waste money that is) but i must say that once you give players a choice they expect an outcome... and no you wont see that here at all...

    Metro last light... has no rpg elements in it, literally none... it deceives you by throwing out ilogical things like "oh press X button to clean your mask" or "press Y to replace filter"and thats it.... thats the most interesting and unique you will get from this game... And it will get you expecting more and more and thats the feeling you will have untill the end... a sorry expectation feeling...

    Why do i give a 6? i give a 6 for the attempt. i give a 6 for the graphics which are ok. i give a 6 for the variety of weapons even though it doesnt mean much either. The main reason for a 6 is the fact that the combat is smooth, not glitchy or full of bugs or situations you would be stuck in.

    Without being a D!@$ i must say this game... if it were around 10-15 dolars i would give it a 8... but... it doesnt. lol

Make it so you just look down and see how many mags you have if you want, I don't care. I just didn't like not knowing how much ammo I had left especially since counting it is worthless since you can't see how much you pick up off of dead bodies.

    The number one complaint is the AI but in hindsight, it probably is more realistic that there would be mass confusion if people started dropping so I can let that go. Bugs are being ironed out very quickly, it only took two days for the devs to release a fix for the AMD graphics glitch.

    It was slightly disapointing that the specialized suits didn't make a return but it really wasn't that big of a deal. A much bigger drawback is the fact that the setup is based around controllers for consoles so secondaries (grenades, throwing knives, etc.) are more annoying to use for PC users (plus grenades can no longer be cooked).    … Expand

    Many levels are designed open and you can choose different ways to proceed and there are more variations of different and unique weapons than in Metro 2033.
    There are some survival aspects in the game, you still have to search the areas in the game for bullets, weapons and filters for your gas mask. Surviving the world of Metro: Last Light on higher difficulties like the Ranger Mode won´t be an easy task.
    The world the game presents you is full of stunning environments and creates a depressing atmosphere which can not be described easily.

    Negatives: Just like the first Metro, very linear gameplay. I do understand that they want you to feel like nowhere is safe to stay and you need to keep moving, but Fallout accomplishes this and is still open-world. It was also just a very short game. I felt like I got to the end very quick, maybe 8 real hours of gameplay time if you drag it out. Lastly, I hate that your actions from the first game have ZERO impact on this one. I saved the dark ones in the first game, but you have no option to play the storyline as that outcome in this sequel.

    I was a bit disapointed when I first started the game. The ranger DLC for 5$ when they said this is the way the game should played. It`s kind of aweful that you always have a follower who talks to you for the most parts. The boss fights, not bad but also not very good. Is it just me ore do the guards in the sneak parts need glasses But it is still better than CoD and all clones of Cod.

    Metro: Last Light is an excellent example how to provide a gripping well paced narrative, an above average shooting and stealth gameplay experiance, placed in gritty yet pretty enviroment.

Have you ever went on the Disneyland Pirates of the Carribean or Indiana Jones ride where you experience various visual and audio stimulus and it makes you feel as if you are passing through a movie? That's the best way I can describe Metro, though you feel like you’re actually in a movie navigating the gorgeously grim cinematography, fighting monsters and humans alike, strolling through vibrant pockets of civilization this paired with some really cool mechanics like having to crank charge your flashlight after extended use, swap out a cracked gas mask, or occasionally wipe blood off it these all culminate into a very memorable experience that is a welcome breath of fresh air from the achievement-laden, progression-fueled games of today; Metro on the other hand, focuses its attention on storytelling through its gritty realism and quick-pacing.

    The reason is that it looks beautiful, when it plays it also plays beautiful as well, and that's the real issue here.. Can you play it with real settings and get a good experience? I was able to when I got over the "maxed settings" stigma. This game looks and plays incredibly well with all the video settings "lowered".

    I didn't even buy this game on release because of the poor reviews listing it as too linear. I cannot stand linear games. But this game is just a tad -more- linear than Deus X 2 was and I didn't even notice that aspect until I had finished the game, simply because the presentation will sweep you away if you just allow it to.

    That said, you will have to get under the hood. You will have to tweak config file settings. You will wish your PC was better (I went out and thew down $1000 just to play this game through again on better settings!). And you will be annoyed.

    But when it's all said and done it will be totally worth it. [[[Just know that even though I did a serious upgrade and overhaul from 560ti to a GTX 760, I am still playing Dx9.]]]

    I play too many games to waste time, and I must also say that I don't even care about "Half Life 3" now that I know another studio can replicate that level of awesome.

    Would rate this a 6 or 7 due to technical issues, however I would and did bump it up realizing the technical feat that this was for 4A after reading the article "Jason Rubin: Metro: Last Light is the "triumph of an underdog".

Felt a lot like an endurance test concerning the FOV but the detail, characters and story somehow manage to carry it. Was worth buying.

The real fun is addressing every single situation differently, whether you want to sneak by, silently kill everyone or just go in guns blazing. Different factors will affect the way you play: you might get help from a supernatural source, be fighting monsters from above or have a cracked gas mask that requires the utmost care not to break. Juggling limited ammo and gas filters as well as pumping up your air powered rifles and flashlight electricity make this incredibly challenging. Which, one man army COD players, is actually a very good thing. You actually have to think to fight (good FPS skills still required.) Graphics look absolutely top notch, even though unless you have a great computer your graphics must be reduced. Loads of DLC will be coming, as will many more hours of gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such wasted potential.

    This game could have been all the things they claim, yet fall so short. Atmospheric? Only if you like tunnel after tunnel, or grey buildings and incredibly linear paths. Immersive? Most of the characters there are just to fill space, the dialog is dull and repetitive. Exploration? Only if seeing the city outside your invisibly walled-off area counts as exploration.

    The tired old standbys are still here.
    - Two weapon limit, regardless of size or type.
    - No inventory so you can't even trade the guns you find in for cash.
    - A storyline where you will lose all your gear several times, so don't invest in any upgrades.
    - Stealth mechanics that don't work like stealth should.
    - Guards who have either superhuman senses or Mr. Magoo's perceptive skills.
    - Cutscenes that assume you're a civilian with a glass chin and the reaction time of a sloth.
    - A quest system that can only handle one task at a time (which is fine, because the game is so linear
    you only have one task to accomplish at a time) and never tells you if you've progressed in the quest.
    - The 'boss battles' with vulnerable points and specific locational weapons to be used.
    - A morality system forced on you without making any choices for yourself aside from 'kill or spare the
    murderous traitor' scenes.
    - Thousands of stereotypical Nazis (the most generic 'bad guy' faction ever) in post-apocalyptic
    Moscow? Are there really subway tunnels that run all that distance from Germany?
    - The worst and most forced sex scene ever digitally rendered.
    - Inclusion of 'player saves the world' consequences because that never gets old.

    It's just such a by-the-book, paint by numbers shooter that all the pretty renderings of demolished buildings and subway tunnels get boring quick. Most of the massively positive reviews are people who were either paid to make such comments under sock puppet accounts, or rabid fanboys. Anyone who actually played this game out would have a much, much lower rating for it.    … Expand

    The Good: Creates genuine eerie and scary feeling while playing, Very polished
    The Bad: Unspectacular game engine, "clunky" controls/movement (see below), extremely linear game play, stereotypical plot, misses some elements which would make the game really stand out. Makes plenty of use of "old-style" things without bringing really anything new to the table for the genre.

    This is an "ok" game but it could have been so much more. While the game has a very polished feel and it's clear that a lot of development time went into it, I have several issues with the game.

    The plot/story is very stereotypical and reminds me somehow about HL2 or this or the other game, such as Doom. It is your typical post-apocalyptic shooter and has some "nice" elements in it, but somehow feels more like a mix of games most people in all likelihood already played. Here is one example: The game makes heavy use of light(s) where you can hide in shadows or use the lights to shoo away mobs. 10 years ago everybody would have said it's a really great thing to add such an element to a game, but today it just feels like a re-hash of things we already know from Doom 2 and similar games.

    People are raving about the graphics and the game engine, but in my opinion for a AAA game in 2013 the graphics are lacking and are definitely NOT up to par. Occasionally the engine makes the look like a clone of the source engine from the very old HL2, but here is the kicker: Ancient Valve's source engine was already better 10 years ago. The game is full with items which are static you cannot interact with. You shoot at pieces of furniture or other environment stuff, but the stuff doesn't even move despite the fact that the engine makes use of physicX. The game's engine feels and looks very outdated in my opinion. You come across switch boxes and similar things which all has no "use", making the entire world feel dead, unlike in eg. Source engine where you had much more freedom interacting/shooting stuff, making the world "feel" much more life-like.

    There are situations in the game where you need to jump or crawl into places, but the movement seems "clunky" and you cannot crawl but first need to jump or do other awkward things because otherwise you are stuck and cannot proceed. Awkward somehow.

    The game is missing a (in my opinion) very important HUD showing your health which becomes extremely annoying since you never know how far your health is down. This is critical since you need to use "health packs" on occasion and basically never know when. There is also no map system or other helpful things like in other games. While some might see this as a positive thing I see it as a negative because it just adds to the frustration.

    The "change your filter" requirement for the gas mask has no real "use" in terms of game-play but frankly just annoys. It's like a total unnecessary element (IMO) just added for a extra frustration if you are somewhere looking for ammo, shoot monsters etc...while you at some point will choke because you don't have a filter for the gas mask. It's nothing but an entire annoying element they added to make the game more frustrating.

    The game lacks entirely RPG-style elements, say, as compared to Far Cry 3 or similar games where you can in addition do crafting or hunting and by doing this become stronger. There is nothing in this game like that except going through the story and either shoot stuff.

    The game feels extremely linear and limited in freedom one has, it is a very old-style shooter which seems to be made by people whom the last 10 years of gaming entirely eluded. It could have been THE top game of the year which could've been the next HL2 or make games like Bioshock Inf. look like garbage, but by using a very traditional and outdated approach along with a very inflexible game engine they only managed it to make an "ok" game, not the superb game this could've been.

    The positive thing about the game is that it manages to really create a scary, eerie atmosphere...eg. nothing beats crawling through spider-infested holes and not knowing what awaits you around the corner, but as said there are too many things...what's the word...not "lacking"...but "too streamlined", "too traditional", "not unique enough". Let me explain it that way:

    No one would say that a Toyota Corolla is a bad car. In fact, some people might think that a Corolla is a really good car to have. But if someone would have a ton of money, maybe won the lottery, they would hardly say "OMG! Now I can finally buy a Toyota Corolla!" So...that game is like the Toyota Corolla of games. It's ok, but too unspectacular and too conventional in what it does.    … Expand

The reason this game gets a 9 instead of a 10 is for the reasons that I hear and see most complaints, (I personally don't mind them charging for extra difficulties, that decision is none but their own.) such as the AI being slightly less than stellar, however due to my stealth approach, I got in less than three human firefights in the whole game and never had much of a chance to see any buggy AI. As far as stealth game play this game is great, everywhere from high ranking officers giving grunts orders to get to work or a soldier going for a cigarette break, I never felt that the game was purposefully putting men alone in the dark for me to stab, I almost always knew why they were there either by visual or by hearing their conversations. The ending was very satisfying in my own opinion, however there is an alternate ending if certain prerequisites are met, to which I did not meet, however, this game is so much fun for me to play, I will be scavenging for supplies and saving poor defenseless hostages from bandits at least one more time.

    So overall:
    Graphics- Top notch, from the 360 to the PC, this game will look gorgeous
    Audio- Encountered no problems once I turned on subtitles
    Game play- Smooth and responsive, never had a problem with firefights despite other's complaints
    Story- This I found to be one of the strongest parts of the whole game, it covers everywhere from discovering Artyom's youth to unraveling a dark and devastating plot that will effect the whole Metro.

    Overall I loved this game and have recommended it to almost everyone of my friends, and to this day we still have deep conversations about which characters we figured deserved absolution and which deserved your knife across their throats.    … Expand

You can't miss a single thing to achieve the good ending. Some of the good things to do are very easy to miss as well. The ending doesn't really explain a whole lot and left me with too man questions.

For example: The Bolshoi. It's just so damn stupid and lame you just leave the theater thinking: These guys spent like 5 minutes designing this and screw it. I hate that. I use that example because overall the game feels the same: That it could be a LOT better, but that the guys programming it just said "Hey, screw it, this is good enough, no one will pay attention to these things". Well I did.
    Linear levels and no attention to details totally spoiled the fun for me, I'd be tougher with the voice acting but hey, I like Fallout, remember?. As for the story, I'd rather read the books than to keep playing the game.

The gun mechanics are also pretty good. The story and characters could be way better, but the production values are enough to make it a good adventure.

    Excellent and smooth graphics even on much higher details than recommended .
    I don't remember any serious bugs, and it was fun.
    Quite better than Metro 2033

    Metro: Last Light is not an open world hardcore shooter. It's a linear storytelling game. If you can leave with that try it. It's just great.
    Metro is the same genre as Bioshock Infinite (Exploring unique linear world mixed with a fine story and weak shooter), and for me Metro is better in this.

    Awesome. Simply awesome. Graphics is amazing, advanced combat system, stealth mode, good plot. I give this game 95 from 100. This game is not perfect however. Stealth system is a bit flawed, but its ok, this game is not New Thief after all. And plot lets say 90 from 100, a bit predictable. And game is quite too linear. But this is trifle this game well worth buying. By the way, this gameAwesome. Simply awesome. Graphics is amazing, advanced combat system, stealth mode, good plot. I give this game 95 from 100.

You can name this game as horror too, but this is well made horror, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.… Expand

    Intense atmosphere helped by amazing visuals and sharpened combat and stealth mechanics. Let down by slightly uninteresting story and an unsatisfying ending, yet doesn't take away from the great moments.

    This game would be a lot better if the developers polished all those minor details because there are so many of them it starts to ruin the game after the 4th chapter. I'll start with the bigger ones:
    -voice acting is awful
    -character animation is clunky, unresponsive (in terms eyes following you when you move), and repetitive (animation loops are far too noticeable to miss here) -AI    This game would be a lot better if the developers polished all those minor details because there are so many of them it starts to ruin the game after the 4th chapter. I'll start with the bigger ones:
    -voice acting is awful
    -character animation is clunky, unresponsive (in terms eyes following you when you move), and repetitive (animation loops are far too noticeable to miss here)
    -AI during active battle can be stupid
    -sneaking through levels is made too easy when you can almost kiss a guard in dim lit areas and he will not notice you
    -a guard will not notice his dead comrade on the floor in dim lit areas (okay, I understand that its harder to see you in low light areas but the developers act like its pitch black)
    -linear storyline, resembles a CoD shoot-em-up/Dishonored sneak attack campaign with very little choice of where to go next. And when I say 'very little' I mean you have the occasional nooks and crannies to look around for extra ammo.
    small things that I noticed that stood out like a sore thumb which could have been easily polished:

    -Pavlov didn't hold his cup while I was having a drink with him, instead it floated a foot away from his hand
    -the pianist continued to play the piano when there was no piano music playing during one of the acts
    -a dreadful pause of silence where a commander was supposed to cut-off his comrade in mid sentence
    -killed a guy who was using a blowtorch and blowtorch sparks are still running

    these are just a few examples and there are a lot more and when they build up like that it starts to take effect on the quality of the game.

    on the good side its got an interesting story, but we can thank the writer of the book for that, and good art style as well as graphics.    … Expand

    Metro Last Light improves on several of the originals shortcomings but also has a few of its own. Mainly the artificial intelligence needs lots of work otherwise Metro Last Light with its hybrid of quality action and engaging storytelling would maybe have been one of the best games of the year.

    I do not recommend this to arachnophobiacs and story-lovers. Nonetheless, the game's atmosphere is so thick you are going to be just blown away. Furthermore, the game has outstanding battles. [Issue#231]

    A mostly triumphant return to form for this unique series. [July 2013, p.86]
