Unlike its sequel, Metro Exodus, which experiments with larger more open levels, Metro Last Light is an almost entirely linear affair. All these gameplay aspects come together to create a tense and rewarding shooter especially if played on the hardest difficulty setting. In these segments, you’ll need to utilize your gas mask, but if you run out of air filters you’ll be in serious trouble, so resource management is another aspect of Metro Last Light that is important. Some missions require you to visit the city surface which is highly radiated. Unlike some fast-paced modern shooters, the Metro franchise demands players take a more considered approach to firefights. This gives Metro Last Light an almost survival-horror feel that is only enhanced by the various mutated monsters that are lurking in the shadows. Enemies are lethal, so you’ll need to play smart making use of stealth tactics and carefully choosing when to strike if you want to survive.
