4A Games Reveals New Metro: Last Light Screens

This article is over 12 years old and may contain outdated information

With the new year upon us, let us give thanks that at least we’re not living in monster-infested tunnels under the bombed-out ruins of a dead civilization.

Not much to say here but plenty to see thanks to the good folks at THQ and Ukrainian studio 4A Games, which doled out almost a dozen new Metro: Last Light screens over the holidays. Like a twisted Norman Rockwell from hell, they mostly capture the bleak moments of life beneath the surface of a vicious, dying world, but that’s pretty much what Metro is all about and from that perspective, these screens look pretty good.

In fact, they might even look a little too good. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but the indoor scenes look just a little bit insufficiently apocalyptic, at least compared to my memories of Metro 2033, in which even the nicest station, Polis, isn’t much more than a post-industrial Inferno.

Despite the recent struggles of publisher THQ, Metro: Last Light appears to be chugging along at full steam and will be out in March for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
