Wow, what a disappointment. Last Light improves on Metro 2033’s mechanics in every way — the improved shooting and weapon animations are especially noticeable. Unfortunately, the shifted emphasis to a VERY cliche storyline and impressively one-note characters vaporizes any goodwill earned by the smoother gameplay.
And look, this doesn’t tend to bother me much, but the way this game used women in lingerie as set dressing was egregious. Whenever sex workers are introduced, they feel deeply out of place. It’s like a pole dance strip club scene was added to Tommy’s town in the Last of Us. Like it’s fine if we want to make an eye candy sequence for the boys, but I can’t remember a single woman in this game who keeps her shirt on.
Also moral points are an extremely confusing and arbitrary system. Mid game
