They move about with purpose, speaking at length to each other about war and family, about love and lust. The inhabitants of the underground are colorful and individual. Characters react to each other in authentic ways, responding to one Ranger's pedantic soliloquies with jokes and insults, likely mirroring your own thoughts on the matter. There is mirth amid the madness, however. Your nightmares come to life in Metro: Last Light. Many interactive sequences-a hypnagogic walk down a blood-red hallway, a survey of an airplane's nightmarish wreckage-relate vital events without removing you from the moment, which makes them hellishly palpable. The most enthralling scenes, however, are those that occur within the context of gameplay. Story sequences are absorbing, and typically occur within the game engine and in first-person view, keeping you strongly connected to the events unfolding before you. The final moving hours raise the emotional stakes and test your allegiances by forcing you to confront the consequences of your own choices. Yet fear isn't the only emotion Last Light stirs.
On the brutal surface, the beasts are your primary concern at any moment, a wailing winged demon might snatch you with its talons, soar into the air, and drop you into the murky water, far from where your horrific flight began. Here, your greatest enemies are your fellow humans, who are unafraid to cheat and steal if it means gaining favor from the right people. In the confines of the metro, betrayal is common and trust is a commodity.
Supernatural themes intertwine with conflicts between underground factions, the horrors of each element providing two equally macabre sides to a single coin. Metro: Last Light punctuates your adventure with moments of dread and shock, as well as with occult visions that make the past come alive before your very eyes. Your Ranger allies certainly desire its annihilation, but Artyom's unique connection to the Dark Ones gives him pause and he is nagged by guilt about the devastation he has wrought.Īrtyom's dilemma brings a sense of personal struggle to a game fraught with brooding emotion. But a creature remains, and as returning protagonist Artyom, you must find this remnant of a race thought extinct, this remnant of a decimated species, though it's unclear whether the right decision is to destroy it or to try to communicate with it. Depending on how you played, Metro 2033 might have allowed you to make an important choice at the game's conclusion.Last Light assumes you chose to destroy the creatures known as The Dark Ones, scorching their home with missiles and scouring them from the face of the Earth. Humanity, hoping to avoid the dangerous radiation and hideous mutants plaguing the surface, has banded together in the underground metro system. Last Light returns you to a Moscow devastated by nuclear war. Now Playing: Metro: Last Light - Video Review By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
