Metro: Last Light is a post-apocalyptic action-oriented first-person shooter originally entitled Metro 2034 and a direct sequel to Metro 2033.
Stealth System
While the game is designated as a first-person shooter, the developers have added a robust stealth system that allows a player to choose which path they would like to go.
Human enemies are abundant in the Metro, but luckily they are limited to tracking Artyom via sight and sound. With a watch, which indicates whether the player is in light by display, the player can focus on staying in pools of darkness to sneak up and silenty kill their targets.
In order to assist the player in this form of attack, all lights can be either shot out or turned off by finding a switch box.
Venice
Venice is a partly submerged section of the Metro that acts as a town and rest area for the player. It also acts as an information center for the player, where they can hear exposition that will advance the game's story.
The Bar
