Tom Chick: "As a storyline about a guy working his way along a subway tunnel, Metro Last Light’s checkpoint system works fine. But in a set of three separate and distinct missions that should each track your progress separately, Metro Last Light’s checkpoint system is a real killjoy, forcing you to play only one set at a time, and don’t you dare entertain the idea of checking out anything else in the game until you’re done. I appreciate that 4A Games has provided this much variety, and I really appreciate the survival-oriented scavenger hunt they’ve crafted with the ranger mission, and especially how much personality and atmosphere they’ve given it. But without a more effective delivery system than a single checkpoint overwriting all your other progress, the Faction Pack is a frustrating example of death by linearity."

Hello again to this playthrough of the Rangers DLC for Metro: Last Light! Last time we began the second mission of the DLC "Kshatriya" where we played as a Ranger Trainee from Polis station who's task it was to search for treasures of the old world. Here we continue our treasure hunt for a second time and find our way to the library! Things get much more tense and chilling as the atmosphere thickens and the monsters become more aggressive!

Welcome once again to this short play-through of the Factions DLC for Metro: Last Light! Last time we played as a fearsome Heavy Weapons soldier an took on a hoard of enemies in a frantic and fearsome battle! This time things quiet down but become very tense and haunting as we play as a Polis Ranger trainee and search for lost treasures of the old world that existed before the bombs fell.

Metro: Last Light fell short of greatness. A follow up to 2010’s Metro 2033, this was the rare occasion when a sequel had room to improve upon a concept and execution rather than cynically milk what made it special into a possible franchise. It came close to doing so but in the end lacked the conviction to fully realise Dmitry Glukhovsky‘s fictional world in an interactive form. 4A Games’ have chosen to sidestep Artoym’s story and the Dark Ones to give breathing space for new perspectives within the Metro. Told as an anthology, there are three isolated stories that tell the tale of other survivors.
