Last Light is a much more action oriented title than its predecessor, although that’s not a bad thing. Anna seems to be the only female soldier in the whole of the Metro. Female characters really aren’t well represented, often being portrayed as helpless, or sex objects with no real depth to their characters. There’s another character who appears later in the game who has a major effect on the mood of the game, bringing some much needed hope to the broken world.

I won’t give too much away about him but his actions in game really provoke a wide range of emotional reactions. Artyom is a great central character, and several members of the supporting cast are good too, with Pavel standing out as a particular highlight.

There’s also a theatre show in one of the stations that brings some light heartedness and offers respite from the fighting.īeyond the interesting world that the Metro series has built, Last Light does a great job with its characters too. One of those sadder side events involved a shadow puppet show where the children didn’t know about most of the animals that roam the world today. There are instances where you can witness a conversation wherein someone express a desire for a better world, though some are tinged with sadness. Instead of portraying the Metro society as a place of bleakness, Last Light offers a much more hopeful view of the world.

The world of Metro: Last Light seems much more immersive as well, with the society around the story feeling a lot better realised.
