Online embargo is longer.

Do I have to play the original to understand the story in this game?

I'm thinking about getting this, but I have't played the original.

You do not, the original is explained right at the beginning of the new game. Our (spoiler free) review will be up at noon.

It would help tremendously.

Sethos · May 13, 2013

A flurry of 8/10 and 9/10 incoming - Like most games. Oh and a 7/10 just so that site sounds extra critical and gets a few hits.

Sn4ke_911 · May 13, 2013

Games TM gave it 8/10

Levito · May 13, 2013

I finished the game last night, so Rely on Horror's review should be up later today.

Review embargo should be lifted by 12 noon EST, which is about now...

I'll link our review of it once it's up.

We've always done reviews, but if you mean me specifically.... Yes this will be my first big under embargo review.

http://www.psnation.com/2013/05/13/review-metro-last-light-ps3/

9.0/10

Foshy · May 13, 2013

Destructoid

7/10

Metro: Last Light is a disappointment in several respects. That simply has to be said. Its design painstakingly addresses criticisms of Metro 2033 to such an overzealous degree that it actually undoes many of the things 2033 was praised for.

However -- and it's a big however -- Last Light is also a fine game on its own, and if we're to judge it without the shadow of 2033 looming overhead, we can say it's a game packed with structurally sound combat, a rewardingly fluid narrative, and an atmosphere that runs the gamut from intriguing to chilling.

As a default experience, Metro: Last Light is a good game that forgets why Metro 2033 was a great one.

Our (Pixel Enemy) review: http://pixelenemy.com/metro-last-light-review-in-our-darkest-hour/

We gave it a "9."

My review plus some very light spoiler gameplay will be up soon. I loved the game.

A 7.2 from IGN, that's gotto hurt.

DigitalOp · May 13, 2013

Is the first Metro critically acclaimed? Should I go back and play it? I remember reviews being average but public word saying it was great.

Sethos · May 13, 2013

So many 7s - I'm surprised.

Courage · May 13, 2013

Hmm, 8 from Edge, 9 from GT and 7 from IGN.

IGN reviews have about the credibility of the ones you'd find in free ad-supported newspaper like Metro.

I doubt this would be the attitude in this thread had it been a 9.2.

Why? A "7" isn't a bad score at all, at least not to me.

Nilaul · May 13, 2013

So apparently only the ranger mode gives us a true survival horror feeling of the first game, and good AI. Dam it.

IGN usually has a 8-10 scale.

SirIgbyCeaser · May 13, 2013

Damn 7's, dev isn't going to get a bonus

How's the PS3 build any review mention it?

Alcoholikaust · May 13, 2013

So how does the PC version fare? I could care less about a 7.2 PS3 review from ign....

GAF I know you have review copies, what do you think?

I reviewed the xbox version but I also received the PC version. It will nix my negative comment about the framerate on consoles at times, thus probably rated just a bit higher then.

It's a really solid game. Memeroable moments. I mostly just wanted a bit more out of the story but curious to figure out how to see the other endings that Deep Silver PR hinted at.

I reviewed the PS3 version. There's some screen tearing and character shadows are terrible, but otherwise it looks fantastic and plays great.

pedrothelion · May 13, 2013

So is this a open world, non-linear game ala STALKER or is this more of a corridor shooter?

Sethos said:

7 is the new 8.

Deadly Cyclone · May 13, 2013

More corridor, with open sections.

I reviewed the game on 360 if anyone has questions. My review and gameplay will be up in the near future.

BruceLeeRoy · May 13, 2013

Man I love lazy OP's. Update the thread man.

Bricky · May 13, 2013

I'm kinda worried now that some of the reviews say the game has become basically a more generic version of the game Metro 2033 was.

Gonna wait for the reaction of Metro 2033 fans to this before I buy this I guess.
