Starting where Metro 2033 left off – Earth a blackened husk, humanity
eking out its survival in
Moscow's metro system – this retains the
original's gloriously gloomy interiors and environmental storytelling,
letting overheard conversations and shattered scenery deliver much of
the plot. Hearty, atmospheric and nerve racking when you're lost, down
to your last gasmask filter and being attacked by the game's large,
aggressive bestiary, Last Light is thrilling, with persuasively acted
characters and authentically Slavic sense of ingrained melancholy.
