METRO LAST LIGHT
In Soviet Russia mutant bites you. Alright I am like the 800th person to make this joke with this game but damn it, it is a good one touse. Now I know what you're thinking, "Brandon this has been out since May why the hell are you reviewing this?" Well my friends the reason is not a good one but it is because I must
review all games that I play that is why I shit you not. So Metro Last Light ladies and gentlemen the sequel to Metro 2033. Developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver. A fun fact this was originally published by THQ but we all know what happened there so Deep Silver bought it and honestly just had to release it I can't imagine much going into this game prior to that.
Now I've played Metro 2033 but never beat it and this entire game takes place after the events which was nice because they catch you up pretty quick. There is way more story than there was in 2033 so much so that you don't need to play the first game to understand what the hell is going on in this game. Another fun fact these games are based off books, books I haven't read but really want to give a shot after playing this game. You play as Artyom the main protagonist from 2033 and he is a Ranger the guys who keep peace in the Metro. I do have to say this game has a interesting concept of the Metro having air and being where most shit goes down, and the surface being all irritated. I have to say from a science stand point that's not how that shit works. If there is no breathable air on the surface then there sure as shit not going to be any in the subways but I digress. It has a good story overall, well in the beginning there jack shit for story it's boring as hell but about 2/3s through the game it get bad ass. The ending is a ending that I didn't see coming but am so happy it did it was such a good frigging ending I love folks a game that can end a story and just make you be like fuck yeah after beating it.
The game graphically is beautiful, and it should be it is all black and gray and dusty out so it shouldn't take much. The game has subtle touches to it that just make it so unique. Things like rain, blood and various goo's getting on your mask. The shotguns that make enemies go flying if you are up close. Oh and my personal favorite shooting a guy near a fire and him falling into the fire only to catch on fire for me to shoot him again. Yes subtle touches.
The sound is so beautiful in this game it is unreal. Even all the Russian accents are done well enough to make me think it was voice acting done right. I actually had fun with the accents because well in my mind I am a 12 year old. The true glory in the sound is the background noises. There is a ton of either creature noises that get you pretty fucking tense or you hear guys talking in the distance that actually help explain the story. I had one problem
though folks and that was your character is a silent protagonist. Yet at the end of each mission he is talking about what he has done and the whole time I am thinking, " So you hired a voice actor, why couldn't you have he respond to what people say to him?" That is seriously one of my biggest pet peeves when I have a silent protagonist when people are clearly talking to him and he just stands there and does nothing at all.
The game plays almost exactly like the first but with one huge difference. If I remember 2033 you had only one choice on what you can do in the game. This one goes with many different solutions to handle certain situations. You can be completely sneaky and kill no one. Normal stealth and kill people
without anyone noticing or my personal favorite kill everyone in any way you find fit. The only semi annoying mechanic was when you were on the surface you had to make sure your mask didn't break. If it does you are fucked royally fucked unless you find another mask. That at certain parts got so so so annoying it stressed me out so freaking much I actually screamed at my TV and called the game a dick. One plus for lonely gamers out there you can see boobs, get a lap dance a long fucking first person lap dance. Now I don't get off on animated characters but I am man so I won't like I stared at some boobs for a good five minutes. If you take anything from this review know that there are boobs in this game almost pushing on the screen. The AI is rather smart I was digging how they would maneuver and try different things to kill my ass. The game also lets you customize your guns which I would recommend to make the game 50 times easier.
In closing thoughts the game is fun, and a original idea with post apocalyptic games. It has a great story with up to par graphics with good voice acting. The gameplay can get a bit stressful but remember the boobs. I would recommend that people check this game out I give it high praise of a B+.
