It’s a bleakly beautiful place. The tunnels and abandoned buildings are urban exploration gone wrong, and most locations are stories in themselves. There’s a sad, tired prison feel to the residential areas, with penned pigs rooting through mud, and homes built into walls from corrugated iron and other scrap. Elsewhere, there’s a music hall, government headquarters and more, all with the same penitentiary-like gloom hanging over them.

This sequel plays more like a shooter than its predecessor, but doesn’t sacrifice its intricate narrative or creative vision in the process. Masochistic fans will appreciate the harder difficulties that recreate the grueling experience of the original, but no matter how you approach it, exploring Last Light’s absorbing world is wholly entertaining.

I’ve spent most of this review harping about things I didn’t like, but in the grand scheme, these issues are not anything that kept me from enjoying the game. I just think the experience would have been better had these shortcomings been addressed. MLL has plenty of great things going for it, most of which I have at least touched on here. It’s a powerful and engaging FPS experience that that shouldn’t be missed.

What you also get with Metro: Last Light is a hugely enjoyable game. It is very European; there is sex, violence, politics, and some pretty weird mysticism. With the voice-over in a very heavy accent, it’s like a play by Chekov but with more guns and mutants. There’s no co-op or online and only one save slot. So if you start a new game in Ranger Mode there’s no going back and replaying chapters in Normal. But, what Metro: Last Light does best is establish and maintain a tone. It is sad. It is hopeless. It is grim. Wonderfully, thought provokingly, and very enjoyably grim.

4A Games’ followup to the remarkable Metro 2033 doesn’t quite hit the high watermark of its predecessor. At times the story and experience feel too constricted and too safe in comparison, but 4A eventually hits the perfect balance of action and atmosphere. The name Last Light could refer to a great many things in the Metro, but here, I think it’s clearly a ray of hope for a forgotten type of first-person shooter.

Metro: Last Light really benefits from the fictional source material that serves as its inspiration. The game’s world is so fantastically detailed and meticulously crafted that you really feel like you’re a part of it – and the psychological horror elements put recent Resident Evil games to shame. The AI issues are inexcusable and the plot could certainly be improved, but this is still one stop that you really shouldn’t miss.

However, the most notable visual hiccups are in the character models and animations. Immediately noticeable in the game, the characters look as though they are separated from the environment, almost like they are overlaid. Some characters move strangely out of sync with their voices and other sounds they create in the environment. Animations can be jerky, and occasionally downright weird. On several occasions, I saw a character flicker out of place, or turn in an odd way that made me raise an eyebrow. Collision detection was also an issue at points, and when I walked into another character I found myself inside of them, looking at all their jagged edges.

Despite its childish parts and bugs, Metro: Last Light is an experience to be played. The gameplay is among the best of first-person games and doesn’t hold the player’s hand. The world is well-fleshed out and at times, stands out among video games. The game is also just hard to put down, and offers a challenging single-player experience without being impossible. Replay value is decent due to the different ways a player can accomplish goals in the game and the associated trophies for doing so. I would never recommend it to a casual player; but to everyone else searching for a challenging single player first-person game—Metro: Last Light is what you have been waiting for.
