"Artyom, defend the Burger Town!"
Last Light was my intro to Metro, and while I'll prob play the rest for completion's sake, I can't say I'm impressed by it. It's not all bad: The environments are really detailed, and can still be colorful and interesting for a game isolated to underground tunnels and a destroyed, overgrown city. Clearly a lot of time was spent worldbuilding the competing factions, their homes, and their struggles to survive and dominate. The interactive UI is cool, as are the sections that finally open up a bit for exploration and scavenging. If Metro would just let me off the leash more than 5% of the time, I might actually enjoy it. But I couldn't get into it. I made it halfway and dropped it for a full year before I got motivated to finish it just to make room on my SSD. It's a post-apocalyptic, survival-horror FPS just like STALKER, but lacking the subtlety or mystery, so it plays more like Slav COD. The atmosphere may be there, but there's just no quiet time to experience it. LL's a linear sequence of setpieces linked by combat encounters and broken up by brief sections where you can wander around and interact with the locals. It all feels so heavily scripted, and I can't say it ever got me to care for any of these NPCs. So much time is spent being led by the nose, herded to the next objective by another NPC; I was constantly reminded that I was playing a game. The factions in Metro follow the "various flavors of terrible people I would never want to side with" school of thought vs STALKER's "all of you actually have good points about the Zone and I'm really not sure who I should support". The issues I had with 2033 - mindless QTE, overly flashy setpieces, NPC following, railroading, dumb factions, unlikable 1-D characters, and obvious binary moral choices - are worse in LL, and no real improvements to make up for them. Runs ok on Linux. Stutters like a mf, an issue apparently shared across all OS's, and the constant flashing definitely hurt my immersion and enjoyment.
