- Overall Metro: Last Light is a really good experience. There’s enough here for fans of action, stealth and survival to enjoy. Though the series seems to have moved on from being scary the majority of the time, it does this progression in a way that feels natural. Artyom is no longer the scared individual you saw in 2033, but instead a Ranger who tackles his mission, even though it can get tense. With a bit more work Last Light could have been close to a perfect game, but the few bugs it has do detract from the overall experience.
Aran Suddi · Jun 04, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - I have to say that Metro: Last Light is a solid game. Though it is not a ground breaking experience, it is one with a distinctive tone that you can’t find elsewhere. Fans of the Fallout series may recognize a similar vibe, but it is still different enough to stand on its own. Metro: Last Light manages to do most things right with its core gameplay elements, complimented by good looking visuals and good sound. This is a gaming experience worth seeing through.
Daniel Kozlowski · May 25, 2013 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Metro: Last Light really benefits from the fictional source material that serves as its inspiration. The game's world is so fantastically detailed and meticulously crafted that you really feel like you're a part of it – and the psychological horror elements put recent Resident Evil games to shame. The AI issues are inexcusable and the plot could certainly be improved, but this is still one stop that you really shouldn’t miss.
Ben Potter · May 17, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Metro: Last Light follows up on 2033 by giving players more of what made that game great, while improving the visuals and reducing the amount of glitches and performance hiccups. The story is captivating and the tension built up through a world that is bleak and downright bathed in darkness works at keeping you glued to the screen. Anyone who loved the first game, but wanted it to perform better, should give this a shot and those who missed it don’t have to worry about feeling lost — the opening cinema catches you up to speed quickly.
Jeremy Peeples · May 15, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Metro: Last Light should have been fantastic. Instead, 4A Games has delivered a broader, less interesting, less cohesive title that borrows from elsewhere when it should have built upon its own unique qualities. There’s still plenty to love, but it’s a wasted opportunity.
Lee Bradley · May 15, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Metro: Last Light is a bold post-apocalyptic FPS adventure uniquely told from the Russian point of view. Last Light’s setting and presentation are its strong points, though the last third of its 10-hour campaign is weaker than everything that came before it. If you want a fun first-person shooter that doesn’t remotely rise to the greatness of single player-centric adventures like BioShock but is still fun in its own right, then Last Light may just be for you. The PC iteration avoids many of its console counterparts' technical issues, but bad AI is still a problem here.
Colin Moriarty · May 14, 2013 Reviewed onRead full review - When it's all working perfectly, Metro: Last Light assembles a forlorn and beautiful world, and your journey through it takes in many poignant, delirious and terrible sights. When you get to wield some autonomy, the game creates brilliantly panicky, desperate gun battles and heart-in-mouth stealth escapades – but it's worth it for the ride, even when your hand isn't always on the tiller.
Marsh Davies · May 14, 2013 Reviewed on PCRead full review - This is not to say that the actual gameplay itself is not enjoyable because it is; I just found that some of the issues I experienced along the way somewhat dampened the game a bit. Regardless, the varied combat, short focused levels and many of the surprises along the way, including a lap dance of all things, made for an unforgettable experience and one Metro fans and fans of FPS games alike can purchase with confidence.
Trevor Houston · May 13, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Despite its childish parts and bugs, Metro: Last Light is an experience to be played. The gameplay is among the best of first-person games and doesn’t hold the player’s hand. The world is well-fleshed out and at times, stands out among video games. The game is also just hard to put down, and offers a challenging single-player experience without being impossible. Replay value is decent due to the different ways a player can accomplish goals in the game and the associated trophies for doing so.
Russell Ritchey · May 13, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Last Light is notably superior to its predecessor, merging storytelling, shooting, and sneaking into a remarkable and cohesive whole. And through this harmony of game design comes the caustic dissonance of a world so torn asunder that a single possibility can bring with it endless hope.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
It Is the Year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…
