For those who have played it already, what is your opinion the game? Saw a few gameplay videos and decided to buy it for $5 from the Xbox store. I'm a huge fan of post-apocalyptic games.

Did you play 2033? Either way both games are very good.

No this is my first Metro game. If I like Last Light I'm sure I'll pick up 2033 too.

Play 2033 first. And try not to be too put off by shitty checkpoints on the surface levels...

Also there's two endings to 2033, but only one of them is canon leading to the second game unfortunately. If you want the 'good' ending then I'd reccommend exploring is much as possible and doing nice things for people. You'll get what I mean.

I want to play it, but I'm busy quite a bit and I don't know if my lagtop can run it smoothly, probably not. Also I have other videogames to play, so yeah.

Last Light is fucking fantastic. I can't recommend it enough, if you haven't seen this already.

2033 is a bit clunkier on the gameplay but it's a lovely dark story to play through. I would play the Redux version of the games as 2033 was updated to LL's levels of details and both have the latest support from 4A on XBone/PS4/PC (as well as all the minor DLC material that LL had for Preorders), but I've already bought them for my Xbox...then the original PC versions...and the books...

LL can be played straight away as it fills you in with some of the background (2033), but do try and get it, it's probably worth pennies now. Both games reward exploration, and the story is linear so you don't have to worry about getting too deviated from the missions.

I can't say for 2033's stealth mechanics, but it is possible in LL to kill almost no humans except in the "boss" battles - and even then you have a final choice for most. Ranger Hardcore mode removes the HUD and is recommended that you use that as a re-playthrough, and over a few days, as otherwise you'll come back to a save weeks/months later and forget what the controls are like I did.
