This review contains spoilers for Metro: Last Light.
Metro Last Light is the sequel to 2010's Metro 2033. The game picks up one year after, Artyom launched the missile strike onto the dark one city. The spartan Rangers with the help of Artyom in Metro 2033 have discovered the Secret D6 base and are inhabiting it. Khan suspects that there is a dark one left and conscripts Artyom in a mission to rescue it.
The game is similar to the first game in the series and it is a single-player game focused on its story and world. This second game continues exploring the metro and focuses on Artyom role in the Spartan Rangers. Similar to the first game the second has a redux version with improved graphics and artificial intelligence.
The graphics of this game are beautiful. I played the redux version and I enjoyed the increased fidelity in the graphics. This is a beautiful game. From The dark metro' tunnels to the harsh surface, the graphics accurately reflect the world these characters in habit, The 4A engine can render things beautifully however, there are never an overwhelming amount of enemies on the screen.
The sound of this game is great. There is not a drastic improvement over the first game but there is not a demand to be better. The sound in this game is appropriate for the atmosphere and all of the voice actors, do a great job. The Guns, in this game do sound slightly different as their sound is improved.
The game-play is unchanged from the first game. Artyom the player character, is matched against overwhelming numbers and must manage resources well. The human enemies can kill Artyom in a few seconds. The mutants also pose a threat with the new shrimp enemies. The game intersperses the combat with st friendly stations that the player can explore and shop.
The story like the first game is the main draw. I enjoyed Metro: Last Light's story. It is a good story of redemption that mostly hits the right notes. The characters in this game are more fleshed out in the second game.
I highly recommend Metro: Last Light. This is a good single-player first person shooter.
Grade: A
