Nobody could have foreseen Metro 2033 becoming a hit when it first came out back in 2009. Created by an unknown studio and seemingly taking cues from Fallout and other post-apocalypic settings, many were ready to dismiss it as an average shooter. Such was not the case, however, as the game sported unique tactical gameplay, chilling atmosphere, and an engaging plot. A sequel was bound to be on its way, and luckily for everyone, 4A games’ upcoming sequel Metro: Last Light looks to incorporate all the elements that made the original great while also expanding upon them to make what could the one of this generation’s best shooters.
