One key aspect, in fact, has made the trip over on the development gondola: Russian audio. From what I’ve seen of Metro: Last Light, it seems as though that tradition is being continued.

If it could be avoided, you would never have to disengage from direct interactions with the virtual world. Much in the vein of games like Miasmata where diegetic instruments replace things that would normally be a meta HUD element like maps and timers, it was all about steeping you in the atmosphere. Metro 2033 was known for creating an intensely and thoroughly complete world that you can wander and poke around in. In fact, most of the world now is plenty pugnacious seeing as how everything has gone to shit, and it sets up a fantastic world through which you can explore. 20 years of mutating and living in an abandoned wasteland has caused them to be more than hostile.

It follows the genesis set forth in Metro 2033, allowing the player to once again control Artyom as he sets out to the hostile surface to kill the last surviving Dark One.ĭark Ones are those that were left out in the irradiated world after a nuclear war broke out at the end of 2013. It is also poignant, resonant, and haunting. That’s the situation in Metro: Last Light, the latest (read: second) in the Metro series by 4A Games.
