‘Metro: Last Light’ is a haunting depiction of post-nuclear society
Like the studio it was developed in, the world of Metro: Last Light is a claustrophobic, dark, and chilling place. Set in the dingy and overgrown subway systems under a post-apocalyptic Moscow, Last Light, at its core, is about survival and the consequences of achieving it. Built by 4A Games, a small development house in Ukraine, Last Light’s tension-filled atmosphere and sense of scale is simply stunning, rivaling even the highest budgeted AAA titles. The Metro is as equally terrifying as it is beautiful, and deserves a place among the most unique dystopian video game settings.
