Metro: Last Light: Part 2: I may have been a bit hasty...

Go home angry mob, I fucked up

So I actually did go to restart the game, I was actually being truthful when I said that at the end of the last post, amazing, I know.  Well, it turns out you can select chapters from the main menu, I somehow missed this when I rage quit my first time around as I was rather upset, I apologize Metro, I should have never of doubted you.  I'm only a little upset that it's still possible to get stuck, but having to replay 30 minutes of the game is an okay compromise I guess.

So here's the short post about the end of the game.  After the awful boss section which turned out to be incredibly easy once I knew what to do, the game really start to solidify the story while turning it upside down and bringing back Kahn to, once again, do some freaky weird ass shit, but I would have been upset if he didn't.  Most of my complaints about the game seemed less awful in the latter parts.  There's less, "Defend the shit." section and the ones that are there give you plenty of ammo to deal with it, the stealth sections became more open ended and I felt more accomplished as I got through them and then a very interesting section involving the least intrusive escort quest since Bioshock Infinite.

A lot of the plot threads get tied up nicely, if a little Deus Ex Machina in feel, it still fits in given the circumstances and the weird bits of Metro that I loved from the first.

Look to the left

And the ending was everything I could have hoped for.  It wasn't quite as cinematic as the first but it fit better.  I was waiting for some other Deus Es Machina to show up, but it never did, the game ends nicely and poetically, it's very fitting.  I'm hopeful for another game in the series, but it's going to be tough to live up to these two, but I'll remain hopeful.

Later days, Artyom
