It was good, it got even better!
Metro: Last Light follows the same premise as its predecessor. Again you play as Artyon, this time even more determined to find life beyond Moscow.
The story is as good as the previous one, but with even more plot twists! Including a romance.
It follows the idea of being linear with no decision making with NPCs, just exploration to find achievements and/or items.
The game further explores the feud that exists between the surviving factions. You end up discovering that there are other survivors outside the city of Moscow and, as Artyon is curious/stubborn, you will explore this.
The mechanics remain fluid, simple and excellent.
Sound effects and music at the same level as the predecessor: great!
The graphical part has subtle improvements, it remains impressive to this day!
The creation of a post-apocalyptic world, something that was already exceptional in the first game, here is even better. New extremely detailed and well-constructed backdrops will make you jaw-dropping along with the various creatures deformed by radiation.
The difficulty is slightly higher here, that's because some new beings are introduced that you, at first, will not know how to kill and defend yourself. Also, there will be many dark and claustrophobic places. Prepare to die a few times!
The combats are the same as the predecessor. You can go crazy or use stealth.
If you liked the first game you must play the continuation of this magnificent franchise!
