Just when you thought the apocalypse couldn't get any worse, what's left of mankind turns against each other. Return to the post-apocalyptic world of Metro, where the surface of the Earth is poisoned and the remaining survivors live in the dark tunnels of the Moscow subway. Mutants stalk the surface by day and hunt in the catacombs by night. Instead of uniting to battle their horrifying enemy, the Metro's station-cities battle for power and seek control of a leftover doomsday device. Play as Artyom, from Metro 2033, in this desperate fight to survive a chilling, claustrophobic world. Use handmade weapons and unleash attacks from the shadows as humanity's last hope to escape the darkness.

An amazing achievement by the developers.
This is one of the few games I have written a review for, and that is because I feel that the developers at 4A Games deserve special recognition for a job not only extremely well done, but done under unusually difficult circumstances.
<br />
<br />An article in GamesIndustry International by Jason Rubin, formerly of Naughty Dog, as well as other sources, paints a portrait of a developer with a fraction of the budget and workforce of bigger American or Japanese developers, working under adverse conditions in Kiev, Ukraine.
<br />
<br />Nevertheless, they have succeeded in creating a game that not only improves on its precursor in every way, but also in putting out a product of such overall quality and immersive originality that it outshines all but a few big-budget AAA titles. From the pacing that draws you into the world they have crafted, to the atmospheric and moody settings, from the truly intelligent, mature storytelling to the unique gameplay mechanics, this is an absolute gem.
<br />
<br />I was a fan of Metro 2033, despite its rough edges. I had high hopes for this game, and they have been more than rewarded. I would encourage anyone who has ever wanted to find more stories for grown-ups, unique settings and mechanics, and engrossing storytelling styles in the vein of Half-Life 2, to play this game.

Initial Metro: Last Light Review
Here is another one of my initial reviews after playing about 4 hours of this game.
<br />
<br />So far it is an upgrade from the first, which is a good thing.
<br />-More of a variety of weapons
<br />-Better stealth elements
<br />-A good amount of gun upgrades
<br />-Various enemy types
<br />
<br />This game has a great atmosphere as well. The lighting is nice, the voice acting is very good, and the metro and outdoor area are just as they should look after a post-apocalyptic event.
<br />
<br />You do not get bored playing this game at all, the events and things you do are all very different such as the layout of all the areas so far.
<br />
<br />Overall i think this game is a good rent, and will keep you busy for a little while. Would not recommend buying, because i do not think there will be much replay value.
<br />
<br />Bottom line- Fun survival FPS

This is Awesome!
I liked the last game but this one takes that and makes it better, so far anyway. I am almost done with it. The graphics are way better and the voice acting is very professional. I really like the setting and the world in which you feel apart of. It is spooky and cold and just great. I really like this game and would recommend it to anyone.

great and better then last one
Just got done playing at my bro-in-laws house and it is hands down alot better then the first one. I played metro 2033 and didnt even finish it due to mass glitching. The story is priceless but i feel the Metro 2033 was to much stress on the hardware but Last Light is perfect. Everything is flawless and the game is moves through frames smoothly. The weapons are more fun to upgrade and really do help you through the maddness. I don't want to tell more you will just have to play it!

Not as great as first but still worth your time.
Not as good as first but still if you liked first this one is a must get. The environment doesnt feel as gloomy as the last one or scary, and that is what made me love the first. But despite the few flaws it is a great game just not as good as the first one.

Fundamentally Flawed
Worst game Ive ever played. I do not say that lightly. Reviewing solely to spare you from wasting any time. Groups of NPC's talk over one another so that you can't really follow what they're saying. The story unfolds through so much artless talking & boring diary entries. The human enemy AI is so worthless that you can "stealth" kill them while they're looking right at you without ever alerting them. At times groups of human enemies will rush to your location after being alerted, just run headlong into your fire. Early on in the game, you will find much of your movement hampered by lame spiderwebs. A few would be one thing, but they're everywhere. The game is really limiting of your movement to the point of almost like being on a rail. Speaking of rails, when you get your train car it is so pathetically slow. The kiddie train ride at the park moves faster. Movement in the game in general is just painfully slow. The kicker is that the game is full of bugs. I found the first one within about 10 minutes of play. I was playing on hard and died. Reloaded and was put face-to-face with an enemy. He starts shooting me but his bullets do no damage. No matter what I did, I was not able to equip a weapon and couldn't melee. I advanced only by finding the exit. By the way, there are often times where finding the exit is easier said the done, and it's not some clever puzzle. They're fishing without bait. Finally I reached the bandits segment in my slow-azz train car. You're to free a tied-up prisoner and he will help you by moving an obstacle on the tracks. One problem though: crummy game glitched and the tied up man couldn't be freed. Period. Not even by reloading. That was it for me. I hit eject. Disk back in sleeve. Done. Game could've been good. Ultimately this is a second rate title at best. In my case it was unplayable garbage. Many better titles to occupy your time. Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space 3, TLoU, even Farcry 3. Skip this one.

Stunning, but lacking
This title has exceptional graphics, good play control, and innovations up the yin yang. It would be perfect but for one fatal flaw. This game is a straight line. You start from A, move to B, move to C, move to D. There is little to explore, and basically every level is a series of straight hallways. I was hoping to explore post nuke Moscow, but instead went preciecly where I was expected and did preciecly what everyone else did when they got to that spot in the game.

Awesome FPS
This game has a great story and immersive gameplay, has customizable weapons, like stocks, muzzles, clip extenders, sights. The game starts in a metro train tunnel with the world forced to live underground and now having wars on a much smaller scale you fight against humans and beasts, the beasts are indescribable, and are found above ground, only real problem here is you are forced to wear a gas mask when above and sometimes replacement cartridges are few and far between meaning at times you have to bypass much of the areas you may have scavenged for goods, but the game is definitely worth a play through
