EDGE: "Metro: Last Light, like its divisive predecessor, is an exploration of tension. Not just in the near-crippling strain you feel when you’re forced to proceed along its gloomy tunnels, which are inhabited by people – or worse – intent on shortening your journey, but also between light and dark, the need to save ammo against the will to survive, or the implications of choosing to kill a pleading enemy or leave him be. But of all the dichotomies that define Last Light’s bleak world, perhaps the biggest tug of war is found in 4A’s desire to span the gap between FPS and narrative adventure."
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
4A Games' Metro: Last Light originally launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC 10 years ago today, and still holds up.
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.
Beat Redux and Last Light. Really good games. Haven't played Exodus yet, was thinking I'll get it for ps5 just havent yet. I will.
Metro 2033 is amazing so for me yes.
Russian Sci-fi is great. 2033 is easily one of the top 5 best looking games to date. If you can't warm to last light you need your head examined. (unless it just bombs out of the gate.)
If you have ever played Metro 2033, then YES!
