Stations have taken the place of towns, and plenty of the tunnels are infested with mutants, bandits, and all sorts of other nasties. If you haven’t played Metro 2033, then here’s the deal: you play a chap named Artyom in a post-apocalyptic future, in which the surface is scorched and irradiated and civilization (in Moscow, at least) has moved into the relative safety of the old Metro tunnels. If you’ve played Metro 2033 then you’ve probably got a got a good idea of what’s going on, but just for you I’ll add that the game takes place after the, um… more destructive ending. Hello! I’ve been playing Metro: Last Light and it’s something pretty bloody special. I imagine it’d work wonders on the spiders. Okay: deep breath, then I start the review proper.Īt no point do you actually get your hands on a flamethrower. Subjectively, if you’re into palpable atmosphere and a believable world, those problems won’t matter in the slightest. There are plenty of elements that don’t quite work, a few issues with pacing, and a number of distressingly rough patches, but it’s got so much pure heart that I found it pretty difficult to care. Despite this, it does so many things so well that there’s going to be a bunch of people out there proclaiming this as the best shooter ever, and I can absolutely see where they’re coming from. I know a lot of you might not think that’s a worthwhile score (although we disagree), I implore you to consider giving this a shot anyway.Īccording to the highly accurate, specific, and detailed IncGamers scoring system, a 7 means a game is “Good.” And this is true! Metro: Last Light is good.

Yes, I’m talking directly to you, person who doesn’t read reviews but just looks at the score at the bottom, and I’m addressing you up here because there’s a chance you might actually see it before you scroll all the way down the page.
