PCGamer- Metro: Last Light preview – we venture deep into 4A Games’ gloomy Muscovite shooter

PCG:In the tunnels beneath post-nuclear Moscow, there is a town called Theater. Like much of what passes for civilisation in Russian sci-fi author Dmitry Glukhovsky’s apocalypse, it’s built into the old subway – the metro system for which 4A Games’ shooter series is named.

I'm likely going to pass on this one; Metro 2033, while I can certainly see how people like the game, was difficult for me to get into. One of those games that I wouldn't mind watching a friend play but would be bored playing myself.

Should have given it a bit longer to sink in. At least rent the new one and then you'll end up buying

I did, I finished the game mainly just to finish it and actually took my time with it to try and soak up as much of what the game had to offer as I can. Mainly because I sell games for a living and want to give customers games I feel they will enjoy based on what they tell me they're into. That's why I said I can certainly see that this is a great game, but was too linear for my liking. However, I wouldn't want to change that as making it open world or less linear will, more likely than not, compromise the better parts of the game and the story.

Pls for the love of god dont let this get delayed.

Felinox4090d ago

Agree completely. If it does let's hope it comes with next gen version

FarCryLover1824090d ago

I didn't even think about a next-gen version, gonna be a great launch title if true :D

First game, while having decent graphics, was boring to play.

The guys voice was awful, there are a lot better games.

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3376d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

Metro: Last Light - Still Fresh After 10 Years

I got bored of Hogwarts crazy quick and it's bugs, was looking for just any good game got the Metro trilogy for about £8.50 in a Steam sale played through 2033 Redux, Last Light Redux and now am on Exodus. The series is awesome, the first two are like more liner story driven FPS with a few options to confront the levels, stealth, no kill runs and guns blazing, depending on how you play effects the story and its outcome. Third game I'm playing now is heavy story driven (but optional if you don't want to listen you can just walk away... I don't know why you would though) with large open levels that take hours to explore and still some of the best use of RTX I've seen to date, can play this game on ultra with DLSS set to quality, raytracing set to ultra at 4K with no dips, played on Extreme setting and was getting a few drops around water and some interiors.

Cant recommend this series enough and as a new fan I can't wait to see the next game in 2024... I also got the audio books so looking forward to see how well the games follow the original books. A4 Games are extremely talented.
