It has almost been 1 whole year since Metro Last Light dropped on PC, 360, and PS3. All of its DLC has landed, and hopefully the heat over THQ's decision about the Ranger Mode DLC has subsided.
Last Light was one of my favorite games of last year. Not only did it improve on every. single. aspect of the original, but it managed to keep me coming back--not only for its AMAZING visuals. But for its since of place, and for its consistent feeling of despair.
Some feelings have changed since I made my [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvoplTxtZlY]review[/url] but its nothing huge.
I notice that some parts were forced, like the nudity for instance, and the rushed feeling of the different endings.
The gameplay is still incredible, yes it is linear--but hey its a Metro system. If they does not scream linear, then I don't know what does. That does get whipped away with one DLC in particular, you play as a STALKER and explore the old Library for artifacts. With every item you return, you can upgrade your gear to better fight the monsters inside... And if you're a veteran of Metro 2033, then you know exactly what the Library holds for you!
Until Wolfenstein releases, I am going to conduct another playthrough. This time on Ranger Hardcore--oh boy. What are your feelings on the game a year later?

Great game. How it didn't win best shooter at the VGAs is a mystery to me.

This game has been sat in my wish list since before it was released.

This post has convinced me to get this game. I've been on the fence about it for a long time now and thanks to you guys, I won't feel like I'm wasting my money.

I loved Metro 2033, so playing Last Light was an amazing experience for me. It fixed all the problems I had with the original.

LOVE THIS GAME. Still want to go back and finish all the achievements.

so much different from the book. and for some reason, they refuse to release the second book in English now. it was out for about two weeks before going out of print.

Edited by AcedannyK: 5/3/2014 3:14:14 PMMetro: LL was a good game and as much as people are entitled to their opinions on it I think it gets massively overrated by some. [quote]AMAZING visuals[/quote]Agreed, the game's environment looks brilliant. [quote]The gameplay is still incredible[/quote]Bit of an overstatement. It was good, but nothing particularly sensational. I did Ranger Hardcore mode second time through. The difficulty is cheap and not much else. You can't check how much ammunition you have which is bullshit. You should be able to check your ammunition when out of the heat of combat. Other than that, since you do more damage as well as the enemy, there isn't much that is challenging. Edit: And the attempts to evoke emotion from the player fell flat as hell. The characters were forced beyond belief.

[quote]Until Wolfenstein releases,[/quote] I can't wait for that one. Anyways, I still have yet to finish Metro but I only got it a few months ago. Good so far, but those Spiders are the most terrifying things in any game I've ever played.

Edited by A Cheese Potato: 5/3/2014 3:14:36 PMI really enjoy it, very good game. I finished it on Ranger Hardcore, so good luck hah. I killed the big Rhino Mutant with throwing knives because I ran out of ammo. And when fighting the Bear mutant my gas mask got broken as I killed it, so it was mad dash to Khan and Miller while I was suffocating, which was pretty cool. It's pretty fun though on Ranger Hardcore once you get used to no HUD at all. And by forced nudity, do you mean that stripper lap dance scene? Because you can just walk away from her once you gain control of Artyom, you don't have to pay her and make her dance.

Still one of the best games ive played, impressive in every aspect, as was 2033.
