Metro: Last Light



Metro Last Light is a second game in the Metro series.

Several months after the first game all major factions of the underground system are preparing to fight over the mostly intact pre-war D6 bunker while Artyom is rushing to save a mysterious Prisoner who is said to hold the key to peace in the Metro.

The game is a First-Person Shooter with Survival Horror elements continuing the canon story of Metro 2033, and is scheduled to be released early in 2013 for the Xbox 360, Play Station 3, PC and is planned to be released on the Wii U at a later date as well.

The game features the following tropes:
"Pavel: Good communist does not believe in souls, but this place's dead make me wonder."
 * Bad Future
 * Before the Dark Times: Pre-War Earth.
 * The Chosen One: Artyom, again.
 * Flashback Echo: Numerous interviews imply those will happen much more often than in the first game. E3 2012 demo flashback throws Artyom and Pavel into a joint hallucination inside a crashing airplane.
 * The Coconut Effect: Apparently western players won't understand the game takes place in Russia without people speaking with heavy accents and raspy voices.
 * Crapsack World
 * Cool Guns: Numerous deadly hand-made contraptions.
 * Darker and Edgier
 * Dirty Communists: One of the AI partners in the game, Pavel, is one. His outfit closely resembles a Soviet WW 2 uniform.

 * Escort Mission: Only Khan and Pavel are known so far.
 * Everything Is Trying to Kill You
 * Fire-Breathing Weapon: Heavily armored soldiers with flamethrowers at the Theater station.
