It is the year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within.
Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour...
If you're looking for a truly immersive post-apocalyptic gaming experience, it's tough to top the ammo-scarce, HUD-free Ranger Hardcore Mode in Metro 2033. Trekking through the dank Moscow underground with just a handful of bullets and the freaky mutant-wolfman Nosalis (not to mention Dark Ones) lurking around every corner is a tense, mouse-clutching experience. And we'll get to relive it in Metro: Last Light. Developer 4A Games confirmed that Ranger Mode is coming to the Metro 2033 sequel. Read More »

"But I thought Metro: Last Light was supposed to be a shooter," you may sputter, as you watch gobs of saliva fly from the madly quivering jaw of a demented preacher in this new live-action trailer. True, it's not the typical way to get gamers hyped for a shooter -- but the madness on display here fits the post-apocalyptic setting wonderfully. Read More »
Remember how the initial announcement of Metro: Last Light also hinted at a multiplayer component? Well, yeah, about that... The developers have now released a statement admitting that, for the time being, multiplayer has been shelved in favor of strengthening the single-player campaign. Read More »
My trusty interest meter is now pinned in the red. I just watched the 13-minute Metro: Last Light E3 2012 developer walkthrough, and when it ended, I had to blink and shake my head to pull myself out of the richly detailed, deeply immersive post-apocalyptic game world. And that was from simply watching the thing. I can't imagine how lost I'll become in Last Light once I'm at the controls. Read More »
