Metro: Last Light Redux

I love it, my kids will enjoy it too

This game is pretty good. I would recommend.

One of my all time favorites, I try to play this every year around the holidays.

Overall a very atmospheric, bleak post-apocalyptic game experience, which is very effective on delivering the atmosphere after the end of the world, and scare shiver moments where applicable. The automatic save points instead of a normal manual saving system are ok, I've played Metro 2033 Redux so I'm familiar with the experience. This game has overall a faster, action-based pace and choosing the bit more ammo-generous Spartan mode instead of Survival, when starting to play, is a good choice. Not a fan of the "hold your ground fighting hordes of cannon meat until something arrives to progress" moments, which are frequent in the game, nor the boss fights which are often frustrating and at least for me personally not fun. That is one star down, out of five. Especially the giant bear fight (which I'm sure is rather well-known) which so far EVERY time bugs out in one way or the other, leaving me unable to proceed. Obviously some flawed scripting, but it doesn't help that restarting this boss fight doesn't help no matter what. So for me, that was when the game was finished, though I might try again in a day or two. That is the two other stars down. If not for those flawed and obviously unfixed things left in the game, I'd be happy to give it all 5/5, but as it stands, if you feel like trying it out - be warned it's a very rough and oftentimes bugged ride, even if definitely very fun most of the time.

Well, again. Satisfying gunplay, awesome atmosphere, extremely satisfying stealth mechanic / head shots, UI, graphics, sounds and stuff. Hands down a 10/10. With a few tweaks this game would absolutely destroy Fallout 4 and become one of my most favorite games ever. But those absolute terrible railshooter sections (AGAIN! as in 2033) and the fact that Artyom is so stupid he gets only cought so the story can progress (AGAIN as in 2033!) is boring as hell. Those cutscenes when he falls into water or opens a door is so annoying and breaks every immersion. And why not let the player play stealth when he wants to? The game ended for me in the horrible swamp level. There is absolutely no indication where to go (compass gone because of the suit), and only a ending supply of filters. I didn't even try a second time, as you get forced to blast your way through in the showdown, so no stealthy funplay here =(
