Metro: Last Light Redux Reviews

I really loved the first game because of the great fun I had playing it, the only downside was it only took like 17 hours to 100% it. last light continues that fun and multiplies it! especially with some extra content at the end. spoiler : as a sequel this game just hits right with the redemption ending for the wrong you did in the last game! had 2 problems with this game tho : lots of crashes and one extra content being so annoying (talking about tower mission) I had to press G multiple times to skip it XD. 10/10 game idc about crashes!

I would recommend not just playing this game but also actually finishing it and maybe even beating it twice or more. The story is fantastic, the characters are amazing, and if you want to be action hero man and shoot all the bad guys you can, or if you want to play it like a stealth game you can. I legit love this game because it lets you dictate how you want combat encounters to play out (personally I am a big fan of picking off most of the enemies and then letting the survivors find the bodies so I can ambush them while they are panicking). However I cannot say the same for some of the DLC. Most of it is really good The Spider, Pavel, Hansa, Sniper, and the DLC where you explore locations from 2033 are all fantastic. However The Tower DLC is atrociously bad. In case you don't know anything about the game, The Metro series is at its best when you are taking advantage of stealth to ambush enemies to pick as many of them off as possible to turn the tides in you advantage, as even on the easiest difficulty if you get swarmed at close range by either mutants or humans you will die fast. The Tower DLC takes place in well lit areas where stealth is impossible and literal actual waves of enemies are coming at you and will be shooting you so much that your aim will be jumping around like a pogo stick. It literally takes the games core mechanic of allowing you to chose how you take fights and throws it out a window. I could make this review like three paragraphs longer and still not tell you how much I hate this DLC. That said all of the DLC comes with the game for free, and the Museum DLC does let throw shrimp fights (makes sense in context). 9.5/10 I highly recommend you try this game, hell I completed this game on Ranger Hardcore (the hardest difficulty) because I loved this game that much and got all of the achievements. The tower DLC is terrible though if you are a completionist don't get that achievement, but if you absolutely have to, do it on the lowest difficulty you will thank me if you do.

Solid game! I enjoyed it a lot more than the first Metro. Definitely worth playing! Combat 8/10 Story 9.5/10 Atmosphere:10/10

I really like the game, and I enjoyed Metro: 2033, this one even though is newer than 2033 has been having lots of crashes on my PC even making it crash as well. In Safe Mode too - shame as I tried to power through it but its getting annoying.

From my Metro: 2033 review: 'Now, see you all in about a year when I finish Metro: Last Light' Written... 5 years ago. Welp, about time I got back to the Metro series with Metro: Last Light. Now, other than this delay just kind of being funny, there is an important reason why I point this out. Although I barely remember anything from the plot of Metro: 2033 at this point, Metro: Last Light did a fantastic job of reintroducing me to the world of Metro, and picking up where I left off 5 years ago. I never felt lost in the story. Metro continues to be one of the most immersive series of story-based FPS games I've played. With it's extensive mechanics, and weapons that allow for experimentation, and a variety of playstyles, Metro is incredibly rich, and curated series of games. If I were to criticize one thing, it would be the endings. Both Metro 2033 and Last Light have 2 endings, a Good and Bad ending. In Metro 2033, the bad ending was the canon one, in Last Light the good ending is. At no point in this game does it mention that the ending is determined by an invisible 'morality meter' that judges your actions and how you interact with NPCs. Because of this, most people get the non-canon bad ending, like myself. This would likely confuse people then going into Metro Exodus as that game heavily contradicts the non-canon bad ending, naturally. But, again, since Last Light never explains this system, most wouldn't even know about this, and just assume the game only has one ending, and the franchise purposefully contradicts itself. I think it was needlessly vague, and only serves to confuse people. All of this wasn't an issue in Metro 2033 as the more common ending, the bad ending, is the canon one, and leads directly into Last Light. Overall, I give Metro: Last Light: 8.5 Cute Little Baby Dark Ones in Hooman Clothes out of 10 Well, I guess I'll see you all in 10 years when I finish Metro: Exodus. (good lord, I'll be pushing 40 by then. where does time go?)

Game crashes every five minutes, and sometimes it just freezes the PC (even worse than 2033 somehow). Ranger hardcore difficulty is just stupid because in some cutscenes we need to press E, but oh no, I can't know that because I can't see the UI that tells me to press the button, so how should I know that? (And there is not even an achievement for finishing the game on ranger hardcore mode, so it is completely worthless.) While coming to the end of the game, all my diaries disappeared, and my save file got corrupted, so I had to collect all of them again on my second gameplay. So, of course, still I'm going to get all the achievements and recommend this game. The game is good.

More of the same, but this entry feels more action-y than the first game. Music is good. Atmosphere is still good. In the first game I found more safes then keys, in this one I found more keys than safes, somehow. DLCs are well hidden in the main menu [h3]Technical State[/h3] Quite disappointingly, I have experienced 4 crashes in this game. None in the original redux. Game force adds English (US) keyboard layout for some reason. Vsync doesn't work properly and locks FPS to 60 instead of the monitor refresh rate, which in my case is 144. There's no other way to limit FPS. There's no windowed mode, and fullscreen blocks hardware media keys. Reflections look bad, especially on walls, reflecting huge parts of the screen such as your gun or a character next to you. All of this also applies to 2033 Redux, except for the crashes.

Metro: Last Redux is like riding a train through a post-apocalyptic nightmare—except the train is on fire, there are mutants everywhere, and you forgot to pack snacks. But hey, the graphics are chef's kiss and the atmosphere will make you question your life choices. 10/10, would get stuck in a dark tunnel with mutant creatures again.

Metro Last Light Takes Place 1 year after Metro 2033 and it improved a lot This game takes notes from The Metro 2034 Book Like Metro 2033 did with 2033 And i liked the storytelling in this game it did make sense although the Models can look like plasic at times You won't notice it under such amazing Combat and More that this game has to offer Combat in general in this game feels really great and Realisic although some parts have ages but who is to blame for that 8/10 I did like Metro 2033 a bit more but good Follow up and a great way to make Metro 2034 Come to a game

Metro 2033 is a fun and challenging game. It does not hold your hand, there will be some points where you might get stuck. You need to watch your resources and use them when you need them. Your choices make a difference in the game, and if you've played the 1st one, I believe how you handle its campaign will influence this one. I recommend playing the 1st game, Metro 2033, because this game doesn't teach you much aside from stuff I would consider as new to the player during their 1st playthrough. You don't need it, but the behavioural patterns of monsters found in the 1st game aren't explained from the get go (unless I missed it). I guess its not necessary when you're shooting at them. For the most part. Personally I enjoyed the weapons and grenade system put together. Claymores came in handy a time or two. The only part was I admittedly got lost from time to time, almost once per level. Maybe I'm just not good at figuring some things out quickly. If there were some form of subtle hint from time to time (again, I might have missed that too), I would have likely not gotten stuck as often. I bought both games, likely over 10 years ago now. I was in college, lost the time to get farther than halfway through the 1st game's campaign. Completely forgot until a few weeks ago. I have a newer computer now, and while the graphics are amazing, windows 10/11 users might have to mess with the game's compatibility mode to get it to be stable. Story was good, gameplay was good. Scared me more times than I can care to admit. SOME OF THOSE MONSTERS REALLY JUST COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND RIP YOU TO SHREDS!
