Metro: Last Light Redux

if they would fix the bugs that prevent you from moving this game would be amazing.
literally fighting the monsters my guy just freezes and refuses to walk, run, shoot, stab, throw granades or knives or anything else, he just doesn't do anything. it is a game breaking bug and a shame after all these years it is in the game.
I don't remember this bug on the gog version at all but it's been a while since I played that version.

game made me learn the russian lifestyle of a sewer tunnel maintenance man, i also ragequit halfway through because it was my first time, and the hardest difficulty literally made prompts impossible to see

dayz/10, why do you make me learn russian again?

great game, also dont blow all your money on the venice level you'll know what i mean when you get there, however I loved this game however even though 2033 was shorter i thought it can not be beat, still highly recommend this game and think it is worth the price.

while i do have to admit i prefer metro 2033 in terms of story last light was a great game that really added to the gameplay foundaiton left by 2033

Just when you thought the first game was a perfect story. This game comes and shows you that there is so much more to show in the Metro universe.
Better graphics, better dialogue, unique choices to make that change the ending of the game.
I will say, with the better graphics you start to loose the horror of the first game, but the up close details of these monsters are terrifying.
10/10 game in my opinion.

Metro: Last Light Redux

Good game otherwise, however writing women was not a speciality for the team eh?

What a great game and and excellent ending. It makes me want to play the first one all over again.

Just like S.T.A.L.K.E.R but more linear and it has better graphics!

If you are playing this game after exodus, don't expect the same experience. The game arguably has some frustrating moments where you have to figure out things with little to no guidance. The ending is definitely not the best part of this game and just falls flat compared to other moments in this game. Overall I would say its a worthwhile experience but don't expect the same depth as exodus.

Great game, good story, great combat & prefect graphics.
 

Great spin on the Post-Apocalyptic genre and it even got me reading the books that the games are based on.

Great game, good story, great combat & prefect graphics

Played Both games now, Preem Game, Absolutely fire writing yet sadly, despite me farming Moral Points I must've fallen short and gotten the bad ending but it still a beautiful game and everyone should play to listen to it's messages. You'll walk out Wiser and much more forethought.

One of the best ones I have played in years. Great storyline and gameplay.

A beautifully made game with lots of effort to details, locations, atmosphere, dialogs, characters,
Truly recommended.

"If it's hostile, you kill it."
I like how this phrase is contradicted throughout the story of this game series.

Easy mode should be easier for people who aren't accustomed to playing COD type of games. If you find it easy to play, good for you. I mainly just want to experience the story and artistry without dying 42 times in a row in the same section. There's my 2 cents.

Interesting game. Great story. Recommend it.

Absolute masterpiece, i love this game. I dont really enjoy the 2033, but the Last Light, it's very fantastic. Can't wait to move to Exodus.

I'm about to finish this game. I give this a cautious thumbs up. This is the third Metro game I've played and I generally like them. Great atmosphere, cool setting (based on the book), solid gunplay, nice tension and mostly good stealth. The remake is very pretty (even years later) and performs super well on the Steam Deck.

Still, there are some things I find lacking. The game falls into this trap of "worldbuilding tourism." It feels like you have to stop by every single entity in the world every time. Captured by Nazis? Check. What about the Communists? Also. There are far too many spots where you'll wander around for 15 minutes until you find the exact vent, or wind tunnel that is where you go next. There needs to be more signposting as to where to go, or better level design. The story plays fast and loose with some supernatural elements that seem to be introduced a bit late in the game and are supremely load bearing, which felt cheap. It feels like *everyone* betrays you in this game. I also don't care for the studio's super heavy handed "moralism." They really don't want you to kill anyone, but they also don't give you great tools to be non-violent. Yes, you can sneak around and knock everyone out, and I did that (or just avoided people occasionally), but the gun play is quite good and by the end I just started firing - ending be damned - because I was getting bored of the knock outs. If you insist on a non-violent path, you have to give the player equally cool non-violent tools (looking at Dishonored 2, which did this well).

Ultimately, the game is about 9-10 hours and is pretty fun. It has issues, not really due to its age, but just sorta questionable narrative choices and overall creative direction for how they want violence and combat to exist.

Game kept crashing. Can't continue anymore. The other two Metro games ran just fine, which made this situation more frustrating.

Amazing gameplay, amazing story

I honestly love the Metro series. If you like post-apocalyptic games, then you'd love any of the metro games. They are similar to Fallout, but with a darker atmosphere and a more linear story. Not an RPG, but definitely some role play elements and a vague moral system that will effect the ending of the game depending on subtle choices you make.

Metro 2033 is a great game and Metro Last Light is even better. A horror-lite atmosphere, engaging story, good gameplay - with a really intense and enjoyable mix of slow paced, stealth action and intense combat sequences. Sound design and graphics/art design are awesome.

Finally i already know why is "last light" because this game has been lighted with the last bulb light of the entire world, damn i cant see, however that is what it gives it a good atmosphere. Good game, enemies in darkness are blind and that kinda funny. well if you like farming games with a good history mode this is what youre looking for.

METRO 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO, with more following npcs and tight corridors. I love this series, it has a few pitfalls but they don't take away from the story or game.

It perfectly complements the winter mood in Eastern Europe. Drunks, mutants, communists, nazis, hookers, and all combinations of the above — feels like home.

What a great sequal from the previous one. clear tutorial, including how to charge the BATTERY and change to MILITARY GRADE AMMO. I'm excited to play the next exodus one

The game where you team up with the orphaned child of the peaceful 'aliens' you nuked, proving that even in the apocalypse, bad decisions come back to haunt you.

A great sequel to Metro 2033 with some QOL and better levels overall. The story is great and the ending still determined by your karma. Also you get a bunch of cool and stupid weapons, like a belt fed shotgun. Always goes on sale along with the rest of the trilogy so get them all together

Apparently after the end of the world, nazis and commies still plague the lands

"A Masterpiece of Atmosphere, Storytelling, and Survival!"
🌟 Rating: 9,5/10

Metro: Last Light Redux is a breathtaking continuation of the Metro saga, delivering an unforgettable mix of intense gameplay, gripping narrative, and hauntingly beautiful visuals. If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic stories, this game will leave a lasting impression.

🌌 Story and World-Building:
Set in the dark, claustrophobic tunnels of Moscow’s metro and the irradiated surface above, Last Light takes you deeper into the struggles of humanity after nuclear devastation. You play as Artyom, navigating political intrigue, mutant threats, and moral dilemmas that challenge your perspective on survival and humanity. The story is emotional, immersive, and full of unforgettable moments.

⚔️ Gameplay:
The game masterfully balances stealth, action, and survival elements. With limited resources like ammo and gas mask filters, every decision feels meaningful. Whether you’re sneaking past enemies or engaging in intense firefights, the gameplay is both challenging and rewarding.

🎨 Redux Enhancements:
The Redux version elevates the experience with enhanced visuals, improved lighting, and smoother mechanics. It’s the definitive way to experience the game, making every dark corridor and ruined landscape even more immersive.

🎧 Sound and Atmosphere:
The sound design is phenomenal, from the distant growls of mutants to the eerie silence of abandoned tunnels. Combined with the stunning visuals, it creates an atmosphere that’s both beautiful and terrifying.

💡 Conclusion:
Metro: Last Light Redux isn’t just a game—it’s an emotional and atmospheric journey through the ruins of humanity. With its powerful narrative, intense gameplay, and stunning presentation, it’s a must-play for fans of post-apocalyptic adventures and immersive storytelling.

Metro: Last Light Redux – Jackal’s Review
Score: 7/8

I have to say, I truly admire the world of Metro. The continuation of Artyom’s struggle with the Dark Ones, along with the ongoing war between the stations, is nothing short of captivating. The story expands beautifully on the universe established in Metro 2033, offering new layers of depth while staying true to the grim and oppressive atmosphere that defines the series.

The developers did a fantastic job of maintaining the series' spirit. New locations, monsters, weapons, and characters add variety without feeling out of place. The plot, while not as bleak and oppressive as the original, is still compelling. The ending, in particular, is stunning and wraps up Artyom’s journey in a memorable way.

One standout addition is Anna, who fits seamlessly into the story. Her presence adds emotional weight and human connection, which enriches the narrative. However, not everything hit the mark for me. The sea locations, swamp areas, and some of the newer monsters felt like missed opportunities. They didn’t capture the same haunting, immersive quality that defines the best parts of the Metro series.

The gameplay in Last Light Redux leans further into survival horror, offering new options that enhance replayability. Whether you prefer the tense, resource-scarce experience of Survival Mode or the faster-paced, action-heavy Spartan Mode, the game allows you to choose the style that best suits you. For newcomers, this is a great opportunity to experience both approaches and decide which feels more satisfying.

That said, for returning players, the remaster doesn’t offer enough to make it a must-play over the original. The visual and gameplay improvements are welcome, but they don’t significantly elevate the experience beyond what Metro: Last Light already offered.

Unfortunately, the technical issues were a major drawback for me. The game frequently crashed, forcing me to restart my computer, which broke immersion and made the experience frustrating at times. While I can appreciate the improvements made in the Redux version, these bugs detracted from the overall enjoyment and polish that I expect from a remaster.

Final Thoughts:

Metro: Last Light Redux does a great job of expanding the Metro universe with a strong story, memorable characters, and an atmospheric world. The improvements in gameplay options and visuals make it worth considering, but technical issues and some underwhelming new elements hold it back. Despite these flaws, I still enjoyed my time in the Metro and would recommend it to both newcomers and fans of the series.

Amazing game with an amazing story.. 10/10 this game!! Fully recommend!

Continuing the story from Metro: 2033 (Redux) and enjoy every pieces of it. Just one complaint regarding the last Tank fight. It is not obvious where is the first weakspot, a simple voiceline like shot the thing would be more helpful than the NPC saying "second platform go!". It literally made me searched for a way to go to the another platform. Heavy Squad tank fight also is not obvious, there is no feedback that the grenade launcher is working.

Very good gameplay, even light systems can run the game. The graphics are pretty good, even in low.

This game is a tiny bit better than Metro 2033 in my opinion, the story is enticing and really immerses you into the Metro world. Consistent with the entire series in quality. 10/10

A solid follow up to Metro 2033. Has some memorable moments in it - should be played immediately after Metro 2033 to get the best experience. 7.5/10

It's good. Much more human on human than the first one and much more of a story than the first. I'm replaying it for the 1st or 2nd time.

Great story and warning from Dmitriy Glukhovsky in his game adaptation. The world created in this game is, in my opinion, of a high level. The gameplay mechanics are quite enjoyable, which doesn't differ much from previous games. Nevertheless, the game is more focused on the plot: survival in a post-apocalyptic world, the fate of people and humanity. I liked how the game motivates you going stealth if you want a good ending. Only regret that it felt like it ended too fast.
I definitely recommend playing it.

A decent sequel to the first Metro 2033 game. If you enjoyed the first one, you should definitely continue playing this and then Metro Exodus. Metro is that kind of game series that don't get worse with new releases. The story continuation didn't disappoint me at all and I was glad to return to this post-apocalyptic world, to the metro, again after I finished playing the first part. If you liked Metro 2033, Last Light is definitely your next stop (this should be precisely the next stop in the series, not the first one, thus play the base game first before Last Light)

Great game and a little bit better plot reveal compared to the first game. A lot of things can be improved especially the amount/duration of mask filters you can get in a mission. I replayed a lot of missions just to finish the succeeding one because I always run out of oxygen to progress with the story. Some cut scenes can be improved a lot too but I'm here for the story so it's not a big deal. I didn't expect intimate scenes with "SPOILER" and it turns out to be a huge part of the plot, which will probably affect the next game on this series. Overall, I've had a fun time.

I love the Metro series, this game is another fun game that has fun game-play and a good story. Ages really good as well.

American nuclear apocalypse games: mutated animals, laser guns, power armor
Russian nuclear apocalypse games: Same as the American nuclear apocalypse games but just hell and no laser guns or power armor and your stuck in a metro with a AK-47 and a gas mask. And i gotta say these nuclear apocalypse games are the best type of games

A delightful sequel that has everything I'd want from a sequel. It kept everything done right by the previous game and further improved them. The previous game to me is more like an introduction to the world of metro, yet this one dives much deeper with a consistent narrative. The main story-line is more explicit and easy to follow. Maps are more straight forward with better guidance. Also more interaction added to the station areas. That being said, I personally think the karma system is still one of the major drawbacks that keeps players from freely choosing their play style or making certain choices in game. It just feels inconvenience to me that you must play in a certain way to get the ending you want.

Story is alright, couldn't pay me to play the dlc missions. Outdoor areas have stuttering issues, human combat is really awesome when they blind you with lasers. Stealth stuff is good. 5/10 just played it to wipe it off my drive.

better than the first. the karma system sucks but thats ok, because the endings dont matter at all. 8/10

Hands down one of my favourite games. The METRO series is phenomenal, and last light is an absolutely excellent addition to the first game. Don't forget to play the DLC too!
