However, each of the characters that I’ve met during my play-through were all truly believable, thanks to excellent character models, fantastic voice acting and lively animations.
As Artyom, you will meet different characters, some that are willing to help you and of course some that pose a vital threat. The story-telling in Metro: Last Light is quite intriguing all-throughout. The bandits don’t actually have a significant role when it comes to the main story-line in the game, they’re just there to make the world of Metro: Last Light more dangerous and intriguing. Meanwhile, the bandits are just your standard thugs who traverse the metro tunnels, kill, pillage for their own survival. They’re using the situation to the benefit of themselves and try to start a civil war in order to capture and control all of Metro. The Red Line are the Soviets who are the main antagonists of the game. In reality though, the Nazis are just using all of their devious tricks to control the Metro tunnels.
The Nazis consider those who are deformed to be ‘non-human’ mutants despite the fact that they’re just regular humans who have zero signs of infection. The Nazis of course are the evil ones, they capture, imprison and then kill everyone who have some sort of deformation. Throughout the course of Metro: Last Light you will encounter different parties of Metro, which are the Nazis, bandits and the Red Line.
#METRO LAST LIGHT PC REVIEWS FULL#
It’s not necessary to play the original game unless you want to experience the story in its full glory, which I highly recommend. When I first started playing Metro: Last Light, I didn’t have high expectations for its story at all, in fact, I thought it was going to be a basic first-person shooter where you just got into one room, kill everyone and move on, however, thankfully that was not the case with this game and I am truly glad that I was wrong.
The narration of the story was both emotional and engaging. At the beginning of the game Artyom explains previous events from Metro 2033 that lead up to Metro: Last Light. In Metro: Last Light you continue to take on a role of a young Ranger named Artyom. The franchise itself is based on a novel by a Russian writer named Dmitry Glukhovsky. Metro: Last Light has an astounding presentation, everything from fantastic graphics with phenomenal lighting, sound and the story itself. I’ll be covering Metro: Last Light in greater detail in this review, starting with a separate section for the story itself, atmosphere/presentation, gameplay, specs of PC that it was reviewed on, achievements and final verdict. I am extremely critical when it comes to the first-person shooter games because those are the types of genres that I always played throughout the majority of my entire life. It’s exceptionally rare for a first-person shooter game to impress me. The sequel continues after the events of the previous title, where Artyom tries to reconcile with his past and find his true fate in this newly released sequel. The game was best known for its atmosphere, story and the dark world of post-apocalyptic Moscow. Metro: Last Light is a sequel to the critically acclaimed survival-horror first-person-shooter Metro: 2033.
