OXM UK: "4A Games' request that you look at Metro: Last Light a little differently to other first-person shooters is actually reasonable. Like its predecessor, this is a game that's unafraid to put away its guns for long periods of time, and one that works hard, very hard, to draw you into an atmospheric, detailed world."
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.
I can't wait...the first one was a little unrefined but amazing. Some ideas weren't fully realized. But the fps genre needs games like this. I hope marketing and muli platforms really help this sell well as it should be one of the best fps gamed this yr.
The comlarisons to half life are quite the compliment and while the lack of hand holding may turn off the many, its games like dark souls that garner great communities because they work together to figure it all out. I love rpgs and difficult games and I hav always wanted a really good fps that uses much of what rpgs use to engross u in the world and your character. Maybe its why I love bioshock. Anyway, here's to hoping that Last Light is even better than the first.
absolutely, cannot wait for this game . i will problably pre-order it tomorrow.
