"Metro: Last Light will be hitting Australian store shelves on May 16th after two delays – the latter one caused by original publisher THQ’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We were invited to play the title just yesterday (the opening 2.5 hours in fact), which fans of author Dmitry Glukhovsky‘s source novels and Ukranian developer 4A Games‘ phenomenal skills in adapting his world/stories/characters into a great video game have Deep Silver to thank for the anticipated sequel’s release. Now to preface our impressions, I must say the following…
SPOILER ALERT: Story details – especially of Metro 2033‘s ending – will be mentioned in this preview. So be warned. Now, let’s continue on to the desolate wastelands of Moscow."
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.
holy shit! im keen as for this loved the first one
