Set in the dystopian, post-apocalyptic world of Russia's underground subway system, the Metro, Last Light is a tale of humanity's claustrophobic and bloody fight to survive. With the oppressive and dark life of the underground, it's a dog eat dog world, with various regimes vying for control, the innocent bystanders caught in the crosshairs, various trouble makers in between and the risk of all out war. Match that with the surface world's toxic air and mutated horrors that will rip you to shreds, and the future is looking pretty bleak.

You play as Artyom, a newly-inducted member of the Order of the Rangers, one of the only (if not THE only) neutral faction in the Metro. You must traverse the Metro, scavenge for supplies, triumph against the monstrosities that could lurk behind every corner, and find a way to save humanity from itself.

Last Light is an immersive game. Like its predecessor before it, Metro 2033, LL takes every step it can into making this game as realistic as possible. The HUD and UI only show themselves when needed (or is completely nonexistant in harder difficulties and in the Ranger modes), and your character moves in realistic ways. When wearing a gas mask, you can change the filters manually, the mask can crack and almost break in places, when water blood or other gunk blurs your vision, you can wipe it away with the tap of a button.

When scrounging in the tunnels, your flashlight is your best friend, as certain areas are unforgivably dark, and some nasty spider/scorpion hybrid creatures are physically harmed and kept at bay while trying to swarm you. You can use a manual pump to keep the light from going out. You can use a lighter to burn away cobwebs to clear your path. You find yourself completely enthralled by the universe this game creates as you begin acting in slow, methodical ways, as anyone would to prolong their life. You come up with creative strategies to deal with enemies, and at times, you feel the pressure and heart-pounding anxiety of holding off multiple foes at once, with your flashlight on the verge of dying and leaving you in the dark.

If you're looking for a creepy, fantastic, expertly-paced, atmospheric adventure into the depths of an almost alien future, then Last Light is your game. The interactions you find between the people that live in this world can be so utterly hopeless sounding that it leaves you on the verge of tears, and nearly makes you feel even more desperate to find a way to solve all of their problems.

Last Light is a rare game that blends atmosphere, great gunplay, fantastic sound design and a convincing, realistic world, all into one beautiful package. This is a game, above all others that have been released in the past six months, that you owe it to yourself to play.

Completely and unequivocally recommended.

I cannot recommend this game highly enough to anyone looking for not only a game but an experience. Metro Last Light is a polished first person shooter with a great story. The graphics really set the tone for the journey through post apocolyptic Moscow. Item management is key in this game as resources are hard to come by and searching the barren, radioactive landscape for items is high risk for little, albeit precious reward. Maintaining gas mask filters is key to survival and when they start to run out it's a frantic race to find safety. The shooting mechanics are suprisingly tight for a story-driven fps. I especially liked the rotating barrel shotgun. Great sound rounds out the package and only serves to enhance a setting already dripping with tension. For me this game is in a rare category as I actually care what happens and want to finish it unlike my last purchase Resident 6, which lost my interest about mid-way through. You'll want to finish Metro and want to play it again in ranger mode.

Metro Last Light is a real gem and shouldn't be missed by anyone. The experience this game provides is second to none. It is hard to turn off and events from it stay with you long after you put the controller down. As an extra note, the limited edition that is shipping now comes with the ranger DLC included (there is a code in the box).
