The Arbiter of the Gods
So basically I bought this game about two days ago and have already completed it. Now, before you say anything, it's certainly not short, I just spent about 12 hours on it, and I know I could have done more exploring
... And I got the bad ending, because I killed faaaar too many people to count. Other than that, I almost cried at the end. The game is beautiful, in every sense possible. The atmosphere, the gameplay mechanics and the scenery all make you feel like you're there. That game has been taken, while not TO perfection, very close.
The graphics are basically the same as in Metro 2033, except with slight improvements which aren't that obvious, however 2033's graphics were good enough anyway, so I'm really not bothered about the similarity in graphics. The scenery was improved greatly though.
The handling of the game is much smoother and seems more realistic than original Metro's, and you don't rush the game simply because you don't feel you want to, at least that's my view of it, and so I took the game very calmly and slowly.
When outside, things like water, dirt or blood get on your gas mask and you have to wipe them off by tapping g (on PC), which basically made me run to the nearest enemy and shoot it just to see myself wipe blood off xD
NPCs communicate very well between each other, and it's not the case of "THEY KNOW" sort of thing, they're not stupid but they're not all-amazing geniuses either, though certainly mutants are far harder than humans to fight.
The game isn't just an FPS. Metro 2033 wasn't either. Last Light shows what humans are like and it's a really scary thought. The game made me want to buy the books so bad it's not even funny, because apparently these are just as good if not better.
Overall I'd give it a strong 8/10. I experienced some bugs but for such a new game it seriously is very little. The gameplay DID get frustrating at times, but that's just the way I am.
And a nice screenshot I took for you to look over just to show the game really is beautiful.
