Metro: Last Light

“Metro: Last Light” is a first-person action game. For most of the time you have to break through linear levels and shoot at the enemies. Additionally, there are sections where the best tactic is to remain quiet while eliminating the enemies. The developers included some elements of survival horror games. This means that players often have not enough ammo and levels were designed to terrify players.

Compared to the first part this game offers more spacious locations, where different tactics can be applied. Moreover, players have several paths to reach the destination place. Sneaking sections are improved as well, along with opponents’ AI and the dynamic of fights. The arsenal of available weapons is far greater. It is worth noticing that fight does not dominate over the survival horror elements known from the previous part. The proportion between those two styles remains the same.

The game runs on improved version of 4A-Engine, a powerful technology used for creating the previous game. One of the new graphics feature is natural presented fire. Each material burns at its own intensity, e.g. the flames quicker digest cardboard boxes than wood. Moreover, “Metro: Last Light”, in contrast to the previous one, offers not only a single-player campaign, but multiplayer mode as well.
