Immersive and Entertaining

Very surprised by so many negative reviews of this game. For me, it ran perfectly well- there was some sound stuttering when I first started, but this went away on its own and never came back. No bugs, no crashing, achievements worked, everything was very smooth and fluid. The voice acting wasn't mind-blowing but it wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, and the gameplay was engaging enough to carry me through. There is absolutely no way any reasonable person would rate this game 1 star. The only valid complaint I've seen are the long, unskippable intro videos, which really are annoying. The game is a sequel to Metro 2033, though I got it during a GOG giveaway and have never played the first one. You won't be missing anything plot-wise, as the game's setting is quite immersive and provides all the details you could ask for. The game mechanics are pretty fun- in most areas, you can either stick to the shadows and pick off your enemies by sneaking up behind them or shooting them with a silencer, or just go in guns blazing and use cover, machine guns and explosives to take them out. On the surface, it becomes more survival-oriented as you fight off vicious mutants and scrounge for air filters to extend the time you can remain exposed to the irradiated wasteland. There's a good variety of customizable guns and throwing weapons, and despite the entire game taking place in underground tunnels and apocalyptic ruins, every area manages to be distinct and have its own unique character. The included DLC missions are surprisingly fun too, with the exception of Tower, which is just frustrating, and Anna, which is so short you'll wonder why they bothered. The boss fights are also good, with the exception of one near the end, where you need to shoot weak spots on a tank, but ONLY with a particular gun for some reason. This frustration, along with the intro videos, knock off a star. I got this game for free, but if you weren't so lucky it's worth picking up during a sale.

Metro, A Shooter That Immerses You

Shooters and post apocalypse games are dime a dozen these days but metro 2033 and Last light both have the IMMERSION ace up their sleeve, let me explain... In a typical shooter game you have enemies, a gun and some fancy level to navigate the shooting gallery, Metro takes the basics and expands them to a fantastic and realistic degree, Artyom the protagonist is thrown into situations where patience and bravery are required to make it through the mission. Every step of this world leaks radiation as much as it leaks good design. By the end of the first few chapters the player is so effectively in the headspace of the protagonist that its almost reflex to scavenge for ammunition, to charge your battery with a hand crank, to monitor the amount of air you have to breathe... Metro takes a tighter approach to its world which makes it feel isolated, the people are on edge and the land is toxic, wildlife especially is known to be a problem and makes the game take a quasi horror tone, if you like tense scary moments then this game is what you need. This is best experienced right after the first game in the series since it is as direct a follow up as you can get, and you should pick both up for the bigger story, neither game feels complete without the other. on a technical level I experienced no issues, all the visuals were great, sound cues worked, controls were tight and the difficulty while challenging was still fun and lead to tense moments. Only gripe i have is the autosaves placing me in awkward situations but that was fixed with either skill or a minor chapter restart. Last Light is a roller coaster and it ends with perhaps one of the best ever final fights I have seen put to a monitor, seriously play this game if you like single player fps's, if you like survival games and most importantly if you appreciate a good post apocalypse.

Excellent sequel

I bought this game along with 2033 and Exodus. I found that 2033 had a couple major issues, including poor introductions to mechanics, and the occasional surface area with little to no filters. The developers seemed to learn from this, as the mechanics are better communicated to the player, and the surface areas have more filters hidden around the place. The story is a lot more engaging as well, but that likely has more to do with how the books were written.

Could have been an amazing game

The concept of the game is great. The story line is rather complex and fast-paced. It is therefor difficult to get emotionally involved in what's going on. The actions levels (fighting, shooting, collecting ammo and filters) are terrific and very engaging. They're very fun. The graphics and music are also top notch! So far the good news. Now for the bad. Going from point A to point B is challenging at best. Half of the time you have no idea where you're going, or even where you're expected to go. To make matters worse, some levels are simply too dark to navigate (even with your lighter or the light on your gun). As a result, you spend a lot of time just walking around endlessly, missing passages and supplies which you need later on. For several levels, I had to rely on an online walk-through, or I never would have made it out of them... And then, there's the bugs. I can forgive the very few visual bugs, which spawn enemies out of thin air. But one in two ladders are buggy, forcing you to climb it at an impossible slow rate. Sometimes you can simply jump off the ladder and try again, but if there are ten demons waiting for you below, that's not really an option. I've suffocated more than once on one of those 'slow ladders'. Using Alt-TAB during the game results in a crash, and even closing the game the proper way, causes the game Window to stay active. The only way to really close it, is through the Task Manager. It's a shame, because this could have been a really good, engaging game. Instead - except for the action levels - it's a frustrating, difficult-to-navigate mess!

A great shooter

Quite simply one of the best shooters I've played in a while. With a few notable exceptions highly environmental shooters with deep story seem to have fallen by the wayside lately. I mean shooters that really suck you in. The first Bioshock, first couple Halo games, STALKER...All had great atmosphere and Metro: Last Light (and 2033) continues this spectacularly. It draws you in and keeps you there. It is well paced but doesn't overstay it's welcome. It rewards careful planning and paying attention to your surroundings (Not only in combat but even through moral points for listening to what characters have to say) and trying to play as the character as opposed to just gunning through. They'll be on my list of games to play and replay for a long time.
