    I truly enjoyed Metro Last Light as much as Metro 2033. The gameplay, story and environment and atmosphere are all great. I did not play online so I don't even remember if there is multiplayer or not but I am not an online gamer so this rating is based solely on the single player campaign.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As I promised, here is the sequel to Metro 2033, known colloquially as Last Light. The Events of Last Light occur relatively right after the events of Metro 2033, and despite the moral choice you made at the end of the first game, Last Light just assumes one choice over another for the sake of its plot. Not a criticism, just to inform you that your choices in 2033 do not directly carry over on Last Light. Anyway, we return with our lovable Silent Russian Protagonist/Inner Monologue Artyom, who after single handedly destroyed all the dark ones (sorry, had to spoil it for you) is on the chase to find the very last remaining Dark One. But of course, in the metro, nothing is nearly that easy, just like when he went to Polis to go tell some guy about some other guy dying. Anyway, what has changed, improved, or has gotten worth over? Generally, Last Light has made great improvements on many a different aspect from Metro 2033. Instead of an awkward melee with the Shambler, you can ACTUALLY aim down the sights, and the Duplet can fire both shells with one button or each shell individually with another (rather than each shell being tied to each trigger button). As usual, military grade bullets are your 'currency', which is simultaneously more proliferate and rare from the predecessor. And as for military grade bullets, your inventory and HUD has become a lot more organized and simplistic from it's previous, as you can check your entire inventory without oddly shaped visual icons that MAY differ from one another. Not only that, but instead of having to check your watch for your air filters, you will get a beeper that of which will warn you to change filters. There are also more weapons introduced, including Rifle weapons, such as a Valve (a favorite of mine) and the Saiga 12K (ALSO a FAVORITE). The factions of the Hansa, Reich and Reds have become much more fleshed out and more prominent to the overall story, rather than just being sidelined to the more important issue of going to polis station (always with Polis Station). And while trying to differentiate between which Russian is talking is still difficult, at least the audio falloff has improved so you won't be able to hear a conversation a mile away in a crowded area indoors. As for the factions and general enemies, unlike in 2033, Last Light actually provides consistent damage against enemies rather than feeling randomized, but the one glaring problem that they didn't fix was the feeling as if you CAN hurt certain enemies such as Demons, which Demons have become almost just window dressing for the surface world as I NEVER HAD TO FIGHT ONE OF THEM, or at least, never had to fight one of them outside a scripted sequence. As for the mutants of the surface, a whole new crop of nasties have come to rip your russian ass a new pecker, such as the Shrimps, Spiders, Threshers, and yep, Nosaleses (sorry if i'm pronunciating that right). And while most of these monsters require clever ways to kill them, as long as you constantly run and let your regenerating health go on, most of the game is a breeze, especially with the faction enemies. At least the stealth mechanics ACTUALLY work, and I'm a guy that doesn't go for subtleties, so that's pretty impressive considering that I couldn't even stealth kill one guy without getting detected in the previous game. As for plot, it is just as strong and thought provoking, the continuing moral progenity going on with the factions and the reluctant choices that people make for their own salvations, although the path to get to the 'good ending' is extremely vague other than the 'don't kill everyone' thing that didn't work so well in Dishonored. More on that later. Anyway, this is generally a much better outing for the Metro lore than in the previous game, with overall improved gameplay, audio, stealth, with some gripes still left untouched but overall not too glaring to give this game a 6 or so.… Expand

    Metro: Last Light is a brillitant single-player experience. With a gripping storyline, great music and fantastic and varied combat, this game will pull you in if you are into post-apocolyptic games or FPS games. Try it if you haven't already. Better still, you can buy Metro Redux on next-gen consoles which includes Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.

    Metro Last Light is a fantastic addition to the Metro series.

    Fallowing in the previous game Metro Last Light has the story that seems to capture many peoples heart. If you haven't played the last one which is Metro 2033, it might be a good idea to try that first if you're thinking about getting this one first because it could be confusing too play. The graphics are amazing to the cramp and gloomy metro to the beautiful ruins of Mascow. The gameplay is great but in all the wrong reasons, first the level designs are great giving off the the feeling of being in the Metro plus the audio helps out the immersion factor making the game sound crisp and fluent though some of the sounds do crack and firing a rapid shooting weapon makes the audio skip and loop sometimes. The company also improved some of the mechanics from the first one; Stealth in Metro 2033 was broken but in Last Light it is much easier making it fair then the first one but also makes it harder to go through without firing a shot on you're very limited ammo, that's also another thing restricting the capacity of your ammo which is okay but makes it feel Call of Dutyish because in the first one it's limited ammo you get in each clip you find with no capacity to stop you from picking it up here it's much easier to get ammo since each clip you find has the max ammo in your clip for that weapon but it's a good thing they didn't change anything with the military rounds except making them a little more rare and less forgiving then the first one, in comparison to the first one it still has that scare factor to it because of the immersion making you feel paranoid in checking around you every few moments in certain parts of the metro and some locations in the ruins, finally the games difficulty (not to sound rude) was reduced slightly because of the improvement to stealth making enemies easy to take out if you take time to think out your route but the game can get harder when it feels if you deserve a little butt kicking. Now the biggest problem to most people is the game does branch off the story a bit because the developers decided to make it a huge knockers feast mid way through the game witch Metro was a game that doesn't need to do to keep the player "interested" when were already interested in the story, also the Ranger mode this may sound rude but you have to be a little dumb to fuss over a difficulty that you don't really need. Sure it was suppose to be released in the first place not making it a DLC pack but there is one thing you could do just ignore it now so people could enjoy an already challenging game. Since the game has a few problems witch sounds like nit picking it's very well done. It score in an 9/10    … Expand

This game is a must-play for anyone who likes a game with an immersive story, and would enjoy a FPS that's more then just shooting stuff.

    I only played hard mode but i can tell it's difficult.
    you will need filters when out of the metro and it's not always easy to find. Yes, you will suffocate a couple times.
    You will also search for ammo. you will not have a sh!t load of bullets to shoot so watch out!

    Excellent pacing.
    Good weapons that feel good.
    Graphics are pretty good.
    Length of 12 hrs is good.
    Creepy.

    Cons:
    Mute protagonist.
    Confusing story that could of been amazing.
    Two endings? Apparently. Didn't see any choices are nothing.
    Stealth could use more polish.

To my surprise the game is awesome and defiantly worth more used. Don't care about MP when it comes to a game like this, but co-op would have been the icing on the cake. While I know most reviews have limited time to play a game, rate it, and write a review for the public to read and make a judgment call on wither to buy the game, way to many games get low ratings they don't deserve, and way to many large money makers like the Call Of Duty franchise get ratings they don't deserve. It would take a person 20 minutes or less to see how sad the Single player story is and how regurgitated that game is with nothing truly fresh and new.

    The largely read reviewer websites seem to learn towards writing good reviews because of how famous the game is, and how many of people love this first Person Shooter game. This makes them project themselves when writing a review as Call Of Duty fan boys and not a neutral reviewer . Scott Lowe (IGN)headline for COD is "Old dog, new tricks" and having a "Exceptional campaign" Really? Seems to me like old dog with a big budget that can do a quick slight of hand right in your face to make it seem like it has new tricks. Also, COD games have never been seen in any way form or fashion as having even a good campaign, so-so at most. I won't go as far as saying there's some money being passed underneath the table, but the final verdict from IGN's Colin Moriaty of 8.8 "Great" is way too high and 7.2 "Good" for Metro: Last light is way too low.

    Colin Moriaty's Metro: Last Light Story Review:

    Colin Moriarty starts off calling it "an interesting story-driven single-player-only FPS. It undoubtedly rewards methodical players" but goes on to say that "the last third of its 10-hour campaign is weaker than everything that came before it". The story is different as it takes a different path instead of taking the usual "hero company saves all, We killed who did this" route. While Colin was "longing for more about the Nazis and Communists" (must like those older war movies) and wanted it to be focused on "politics and personalities " (like we haven't seen and heard enough politics in games as well as in real life to last a life time), This would have taken the game down the "normal" and "predictable" story path and ending. I liked the German version of "The X-Files" type story, but agree more personality would have been nice.

    Which brings me to my last point, There is a part that at times can plague smaller companies when a game first comes out...game freezes and/or glitches. So what did Colin have to say? He wrote "Folks around the office playing the game on Xbox 360 have experienced some console freezing and crashing while playing the game". While not a excuse (as the game should have been tested more before release, even more so as a smaller company) the lack of resources the bigger companies can afford can hinder them when trying to getting a game out there to make a return on the investment they put into in. For me as I was a late comer to the game, the patches that I had to download when I first started the game, 4k must of fixed these issue as I have not come across this issue on my Xbox 360.    … Expand

Nobody can deny that. Last Light steps into the spotlight with a new handler and a continuing story that works pretty well. Yes, the game is a linear game pretending to be a nonlinear one at times, that is very true. Yes, it is an action-shooter pretending to be more of an role playing game at times as well. That is also true. However, despite Last Light being a slightly easier to grasp experience than its predecessor, it is no worse off for it. Just as Metro 2033 was quite dark and dramatic, so are portions of Last Light's campaign. After all- Russia's nuked out wasteland and catacomb-like metro tunnels aren't the brightest of places anyway, especially when inhabited by rangers, mutants, and the Reich. Not quite the best vacation spot, if I do say so myself. However, that is not to say that it does not sport a pretty well-rounded, if linear story and experience. The gameplay can be tantalizing and it can be brutal. The soundwork is excellently crafted- from hideous shrieks of monsters and mutants, to the voiceovers for characters and enemies. The stealth mechanics work worlds better than their previous outing, and the controls are finely tuned as well. The story, action-filled gameplay, and the atmosphere itself are living, breathing embodiments of the Metro book(s), and represent that world fairly in my mind. Sure, at times, this game has its problems as well- as most good and bad games often do. Good as the graphics are, the animation work and the texturing can be wonky at times, and horribly panned out at worst. It's a very enjoyable experience over all however, albeit a summarily short and challenging one, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Excellent job.… Expand

One of the most annoying thing is that if you want the best experience you better be willing to pay another 5 dollars because for some reason the developers decided it would be a good idea to charge 5 dollars for ranger mode. Ranger mode is the best way to play because it makes ammo rare and the enemy AI better. I decided that it wouldn't effect my final score. In the end the game is fun, scary, intense, and annoying. And some advice is conserve your ammo on harder difficulty's because one time I had used up 3/4s of all my ammo just so I could fight a boss. I beat the boss with one bullet and then had to fight it a second time but this time it had little minions. So save your ammo if you want to survive it.… Expand

The shooting mechanics have been sharpened up so that they are both comfortable and realistic, they have however not turned the game into a run of the mill FPS with little to no recoil or weight of the guns. Each gun requires different strategies, and are ideal in different situations, the guns themselves are very imaginative and build upon the already quite original arsenal of 2033. The story of the game is fantastic and follows the more common or "evil" ending of 2033, the story is filled with interesting characters, some great plot turns and some very memorable set pieces. The missions that stood out most to me personally were the surface missions, much like 2033 it felt like a very different and hostile world, and the frantic fending off mutants, reloading, and changing filters in your gas mask make for very interesting, and on higher difficulties very challenging gameplay. Some new mutants have been added to the already hideous and frightening freaks that dwell on the surface and in metro, such as the spiderbug, as someone who fears spiders this added another layer of fear and dread to any encounters i had with these creatures. It goes without saying that this game has a brilliant atmosphere, through use of its supernatural themes the game creates a sense of genuine uneasiness that lasts through large portions of the game, another thing i personally loved was the lack of jump scares, they were instead used quite sparingly which coupled with the great and yet creepy atmosphere made them that much scarier. Another great feature of this game is the graphics, this game is gorgeous; every time i traversed the surface i always stopped and admired the detail and beauty in the scenery. My only quarrel with this game is that it freezes a little to often, you also may encounter the odd glitch, of which i only encountered one, thankfully they are quite rare. Overall Metro Last Light is a shining example of how a sequel should be done, they improved what was not so good with the original, made even better what did work, added plenty of new aspects to the game, i commend 4A games for their work on this game, especially considering the budget and working conditions. Metro Last Light is a great post apocalyptic FPS survival horror game that i recommend to anyone and everyone.… Expand

    It’s superbly paced and well scripted, and though still missing that necessary level of polish, an experience you’ll be remiss to pass on.

    Time will tell, for now Metro: Last Light is a solid gorgeous shooter which presents something a little different from the norm, if not as different as the first game in the series.

    A marked improvement on the original, and though it does make a few new mistakes, there's a lot here that story-loving FPS fans will appreciate. [Issue#98, p.65]
