![]() Everyone thinks that the Dark Ones meant nothing but harm, but you know the truth and it haunts you in your dreams. The people around you look upon you as something of a hero, especially amongst the rangers within your area of the metro, but you are personally struggling with the decision that you made to wipe out the Dark Ones. Despite the telepathic cries that Artyum heard during the final moments of the game, which revealed their dreams of a peaceful co-existance, the game progresses as if you decided to launch the missile strike against the Dark Ones.This wiped out their entire population. If you played the original, you know that there were a couple of possibilities for the ending depending on how things played out and decisions that you made once you climbed atop the spire. The game will pick up a little bit more than a year after the events of the first game. Living with your choices and confronting your past What I found was more of the same of what resonated with me so much back in 2010 and a newfound excitement for a project I feared wouldn’t recover from the collapse of its publisher. Over the last weekend, I got a chance to spend a few hours with an unfinished build of the game that covers the opening chapters of the game. Ukranian developer 4A Games is once again at the helm of the project with Techland / Deep Silver picking up the publishing duties. With all of the dust finally settling from the fall of THQ, Metro: Last Light is finally coming to consoles after some delays. It was, and is, truly a remarkable experience that I can’t speak highly enough about to this day. Rather than being an adventure about gunplay it was an incredibly deep narrative told from a perspective behind the barrel of a gun. The game presented itself as an FPS, but it didn’t exactly play as one. The different stations along the transit system eventually became their own communities and “cities”, forming their own governments and societal structures.You’re Artyum, a young man raised in the confines of this post apocalyptic-Moscow metro system. After nuclear war practically destroyed the world as we knew it, the survivors in Russia were driven below ground to the confines of the defunct metro-subway system. Metro 2033 is based on the Russian sci-fi novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was one of my picks for game of the year that year, a decision I still stand by to this day (either that or War for Cybertron).įor the sake of those who aren’t familiar, let me catch you up. A standard, might I add, that few games will ever live up to, let alone exceed. It wasn’t the best looking, or even the best playing game or shooter available, but the atmosphere and narrative presented in its world set a standard for the industry. ![]() The game, which launched for the Xbox 360 and PC back in early 2010, really shocked a lot of people. ![]() If you have never played through the original Metro 2033, I feel sorry for you.
