Metro: Last Light Diaries Part One

Andrew continues his ‘Metro Diaries’ - this time starting on Metro: Last Light.

- Andrew Duncan

This is my ongoing exploration of the Metro games, played in release order. I will chronicle my playthrough of each title in turn and discuss any recurring themes and noteworthy events.

This time I begin Metro: Last Light Redux.

Fresh off of my victory over the Dark Ones in Metro 2033 Redux, I move on to the 2014 remake of Metro: Last Light. Since the previous game was released the same year, I don’t hold out hope for my issues with that one being resolved for this one. That’s not to say I had a lot of problems with it, but if I come across any children they’ll sound like one adult doing a bad kid impression.

My ending for Metro 2033 Redux saw the missiles launch and end the scourge of the Dark Ones. I fully expect this one will begin with my triumphant return to Exhibition, so join me as I begin Metro: Last Light Redux…

Artyom spoke of his final memories of life before the bombs - and how it might be his fault that mutants got into the metro in the first place. It faded to Artyom sat at a campfire with some other men, and Dark Ones approaching. Everyone was startled by rattling cans, and prepared for a fight - the Dark Ones appeared and began changing the others into mutants, so I gunned them down. Unfortunately, as they died they changed back into humans, the last one with my knife in his head. As I laid him down to the ground, a Dark One approached me and put its hand on my head, waking me up.
