Daav Valentaten discusses sensitive content in games and the heightened awareness of media on the Videogamer Network. While other, more spotlighted titles may have been shot down before release, the stealthy Metro: Last Light was able to release a game with topics like violence, abuse and rape without being scalded and in return showed proof that this can be done in games in a correct manner. Let's hope this opens up the discussion of inclusion, rather than exclusion.
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.
That was the best virtual titties giggling I’ve seen in a video game so far lol… didn’t like the face of that stripper too much thought, but good giggle ;)
I can’t believe I already finished Metro :( wish it was a bit longer. Such a good game
I think this proves more that because their game didn't have a lot of mainstream press it got away with this. If a game like GTA5 comes out with similar topics, even toned down a little, it will get crucified. Just because the mainstream press will make a bigger deal out of it then it really is.
Either way, I love Metro Last Light.
