Metro Last Light: Aizio's Verdict

Metro Last Light

Publisher: Deep Silver

Developer: 4A Games

Genre: Action FPS
Release: May 17, 2013

Have you ever imagine our earth post-nuclear war and how do people live and survive after the catastrophic event? In Metro Last Light, fighting for ourselves is a path to survival. The environment had been contaminated and the only for you to breathe through air filter and living inside underground metro. Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, proceeding from the canonical ending from the novel, ending where Artyom chose to call down the missile strike on the Dark Ones. The Rangers have since occupied the D6 military facility, with Artyom having become an official Ranger. Khan, the nomad mystic, arrives at D6 to inform Artyom and the Rangers that a single Dark One survived the missile strike. Khan believes the Dark One is the key to humanity's future, and wants to make peace with it, whereas the Ranger's leader, Colonel Miller, wants to kill the creature, ending the threat of the Dark Ones forever. Miller sends Artyom to the surface with a mission to kill the Dark One; he is accompanied by Anna, Miller's sarcastic daughter and the Rangers' best sniper. 

What I LIKE:

i) Graphics

Metro Last light gives you awesome graphics and a real experience of post nuclear war. The environment are highly presented in a manner that you feel the effect almost immediately after reaching on the surface. The underground metro is very well presented and looks lively with people doing business such as restaurant and so on.

ii) Gameplay

The gameplay are easy to maneuver and master. Good and non-complicated inventory system makes the game more playable. Surviving is the key here and you have to manage your ammo and weapon very well and wrong step would get you killed especially when confronting monsters and demon. You need careful timing for your action especially on the surface as you'll depend on air filter that is limited (in higher difficulties). 

What I DISLIKE:

i) AI

The Human AIs were not very intelligent enough and you can easily overcome or naturaliz them. However, the monsters and demons AIs were good and react very effectively. Confronting them makes your hands sweat as you punching your controller every time in order to kill them.

Overall taught for this game is: 

   9/10
