Oh, one more thing I should note here, because I know how important it is for FPS games on the Switch - this game does offer gyroscopic motion controls, although they are off by default and need to be turned on in the game's menus. The improvements here also extend to the gameplay, with this game being a lot less stingy with its ammo, and weapons seeming to feel a lot more impactful, resulting in gunplay that feels a great deal better than the first game.īeyond those improvements, this game is still, like its predecessor, a pretty solid campaign-based First-Person Shooter that was clearly inspired by games like the Half-Life series, though I would say it doesn't quite reach those games' level of brilliance and gameplay variety. While Metro 2033 Redux seemed like a tradeoff, Metro Last Light feels a lot more reasonable, despite having an all-around better presentation. Honestly, after being frustrated with the (admittedly still quite good) technical performance of Metro 2033 on the Nintendo Switch, I found Metro Last Light to be a delightful surprise. What's more, while Metro Last Light Redux still has long loading screens, much like Metro 2033 did, these loading screens don't seem to come quite as often. And the difference between this game and its predecessor is pretty noteable too - the environments and character models are even more detailed, and the game doesn't seem to suffer from the issue of overly-dark environments to the same extent that the first game did (although it's still frustrating that there are no video options, even if they don't feel as necessary this time around).

Graphically, Metro Last Light Redux looks very good, with detailed environments and a 1080p resolution (720p in handheld mode) with a consistent 30fps that puts the game ahead of the Xbox 360 original, although not quite up to par with the versions of Metro Last Light Redux released to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Having said that, the Metro games to their credit manage to draw in even holdouts like me with their rich Russian-accented atmosphere and strong story, particularly the intriguing and enigmatic Dark Ones, whose mind-altering affects make for some interesting in-game sequences that not only break up the monotony of the action, but also break up the monotony of the usual post-apocalyptic setting. none of these are a knock on games that have this stuff, by the way, just a personal preference. Maybe it's the complete lack of color that most of them tend to have, the interminable dour attitude, the way everything is grimy and disgusting. Metro Last Light is the sequel to Metro 2033, and directly follows that game's story, so those looking to play these games for their story should start with Metro 2033.Īs I said in my review of Metro 2033 Redux, I've never been the biggest fan of post-apocalyptic settings.

For those unfamiliar with these games, the Metro series is focused on its story-heavy campaign set in a post-nuclear holocaust Russia where there remnants of humanity survive in "metro" subway tunnels and fight to survive under an onslaught of mutant creatures, with the new threat of the mysterious mind-altering "Dark Ones" threatening to be the final straw that ends them all for good. Metro Last Light is a First-Person Shooter originally released for multiple platforms in 2013, with the Redux release of the game having improved graphics and expanded features. If you want to get these games in digital form, your only option currently is to get them separately.
Note: This game, as well as its predecessor, Metro 2033 Redux, is also available in the Metro Redux compilation, only available together in physical form.
