Great atmosphere, terrible game design

I will say this much: Everyone who praises this game's atmosphere is absolutely right. But I don't play shooters purely for the atmosphere. I mainly play them for the gameplay. And Metro Last Light is heavily held back in that department for one simple reason: It's way too scripted. And no, I'm not talking about how an explosion in a cutscene teleports you from the left side to the right side of the room because the game needs Artyom to get stuck underneath a piece of debris in order to play the next unskippable cutscene. I'm talking about how many linear sections there are in this game that can only be completed in one single manner with no possibility for player choice at all. The few times the game actually lets you play are when it's the most enjoyable. Problem is, the game has a story to tell. And not a particularly good one, either. So for huge chunks of the game you'll be following other characters around, wait for them to open the next door as if this game is aping Call of Honor Battleduty. I can't believe I have to say this, but Metro is NOT Call of Duty. Yet some of the largest sections of Last Light remind me of its worst iterations, and not just for the automatically regenerating health. I respect the game for at least having open world sections where you're free to explore. But if at any point you feel lost or just wanna get on with the story, you can bring up your compass and it'll point you into the direction you need to go. If the whole game was like that, I would give it 5 stars. But it's not, so I won't.

Metro of Duty: a Skip-Worthy Title

NOT RECOMMENDED. It is a pale imitation of Metro 2033 and inferior in every regard, except for 2033 Redux has the same quality drops in order to pander to the COD crowd (read: a singleplayer game to pander to multiplayers - pretty dumb). To sum up the inferiorities: 1) worse, overly serious voice acting (the Artyom voice is plain terrible - an American base accent with little comedy-Russian flavoring), 2) graphics are a grey mess in LQ and a smudgy black smearfest in HQ, 3) tons of slow-downs (e.g. when mutant models come close) and to-the-desktop crashes, 4) stealth that would be completely dysfunctional without the non-fatal finishing move and buggy implementing (read: enemies at times cannot see what is in front of them and 5) the gameplay and the other content incl. the story, is largely RECYCLED from 2033 with barely any changes. There are the same sections repeat, often with the same names and content. For example, Death City with visions of the past Moscow in both games and the burning station in Defense (2033) and Contagion (Last Light). It is very clear to me that Last Light and the Redux re-releases were made to cash in on the franchise. Especially the series collection (such as Retro Redux) is a very Slav thing to do. Last Light adds nothing to the overall story except for needlessly killing off Uhlman in the ending. The dude is practically not in the game until the short last chapter. Last Light Redux is the kind of game I would make if I wanted to get myself into developing COD. Last Light is a pure FPS, no matter what mode you pick. Outside chapters' Khan and Dead City minuscule horror elements, there is NONE. Nothing in the game matches even one second worth of 2033's Ghosts chapter. Because COD has no genuine horror (except for wave-gunning zombie modes), that's all there is to it. Even the DLC sucks. In Heavy Squad you are scripted to die in a rocket strike if you take too long (my enemy glitched into godmode). Gameplay sux. DL Metro 2033 instead.

Terrible save system!

I will never understand why developers do not use a normal save / load system!

Fantastic FPS Horror game

You see these review and you wondering why the heck every review on GOG are god damn, how do I put it... Intellectually deficient. Some compared this game, a linear shooter (like Bioshock) to STALKER (like fallout), Some complain that the game has "too much" story! (I know, I know... *facepalm), Some complain about lack of feature that is not standard at the time of this game release (FOV slider). All in all, typical GOG review. If you want to read more competent review, go to Steam, even if you decided to buy this game here. Here is my review: The game is good. The story telling is good, great even! if it is your thing (and I'm confident, for everyone that understand good story telling, you will like this game story, after all this game is based on books, so in term of narrative it will be good). But first thing first, remember: This game is *a* medium to experience the book. FPS aspect is what you would expect from the game from 2014, it's decent, but nothing to write home about. But definetly not bad. Playing this game is like experiencing a book, you cannot save by your own, only checkpoints, which mean if you want to stop playing you have to reach checkpoint. Don't expect Fallout style save mechanism where you can save just about whenever you want. (Additionally, this is somewhat a standard in a FPS game with linear story telling). There are bite sizes cutscenes, you can't skip it, why? because this game is basically medium for book, you have to listen and immerse yourself with the story, if you expect a game where you can just turn your brain off and shoot, this ain't it. Finally, I want to say, for those who love this type of game, this is a must play. my final overall rating is 8/10 (mostly because I'm not a fan of horror game), but if you do, it's easy 10/10. Oh but I'll give 15/10 for Venice level. If you know what I mean ;)

A decent game

The game is good, I played it on the highest difficulty mode, the ranger mode, and I enjoyed the challenge. It's not a perfect game, but I liked it. I got it for free btw. 8 / 10 - "It's a good game"
