Metro: Last Light - system requirements. Metro: Last Light (PC) - release date, features

Metro: Last Light became the second project, developed by the Ukrainian studio 4A Games. The release took place on May 14, 2013 on all advanced platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). The publisher was Deep Silver.

Game Review

"Ray of Hope" was a direct continuation of the original "Metro 2033", not associated with the book sequel of Dmitry Glukhovsky. For the starting point of the plot took a bad ending to the previous adventures of Artem, the main protagonist of both parts, where he destroyed the Blacks by deadly rockets. And in vain, as it turned out. In one of the theories, zealously advanced by Khan, it is asserted that the Blacks are new friends of mankind that could save the inhabitants of the subway from the inevitable civil conflict. Against this background, a new drama unfolds, Artem, when he is forced to look for the last surviving Black, while thinking about preventing a global war.

Nevertheless, do not expect any major innovations in terms of gameplay. Game Metro: Last Light has borrowed most of the gadgets and mechanics from the original part. Unfortunately, intensive races with a lot of script scenes and in places an exciting action alternate with an unfinished stealth. Silent progress on the subject here is very boring, the same and with a minimum of variations. And this, perhaps, is one of the main disappointments in the game. Arsenal in the greater degree moved from the previous part, but new trunks were found here.

Razgulyatsya, in principle, there is where, especially if you consider the possibility of casting weapons with sights, flame arresters and other lotions. Added developers and new mutants, among which there are even bosses. In general, the sequel turned out pretty good: the modified gameplay, a good story, colorful characters, live stations, gloomy and musty tunnels, fascinating views of the surface and atmospheric soundtrack. All this turned out perfectly. Of course, there are flaws, but the advantages completely cross out annoying shortcomings.

Metro: Last Light Redux

August 26, 2014 on the PC and the next generation console released an updated version of the "Ray of Hope", which received several innovations and improvements. First of all, the gameplay was polished to shine, with which there were some gaps in the original. Secondly, the animation, graphics and physics of all game characters, as well as mutants, improved. Thirdly, all opponents received improved AI. Finally, Metro: Last Light Redux came out with all the previously released add-ons, which in total gives an increase of 10 hours of gameplay. No less important element was the introduction of new game modes ("Survival" and "Spartan"), which are available to all players from the start of the passage.

Metro: Last Light - Endings

As in the first part, in Last Light developers have provided 2 endings: good and bad. How do they differ and how to get a story with a positive and a happy ending? It's pretty simple.

In a bad ending, Artem, having undermined the D-6, dies along with all his friends and communists. Black, which the kid found in the bunker, leave people, promising to return. But Anna, with whom our hero is so close, gives birth to his son. To obtain such a finale is very simple: kill all people (including those who surrender), Paul and Lesnik must also die, save no one, do not give the beggars cartridges. In general, be a living devil in the flesh.

In a good ending, Artem, fortunately, remains alive, and friendly Blacks help get rid of the "red" occupants. Later they leave, but promise to return in the future. Perhaps this is a hint at the next part of the game, which again will be tied to the mental relations of the marvelous Black and Artem. Wait and see.

These are the ones in Metro: Last Light Endings. As you know, Metro developers participated in the work on "Stalker", where there were as many as 7 endings, and therefore multiple finals of the game world have become a tradition. Well, we are waiting for the next masterpiece from the studio 4A Games.

Problems and solutions

No game can do without packs of problems. So it happened with the "Ray of Hope", where gamers periodically raise questions about various mistakes. Now we will deal with the most frequent problems.

1. Metro: Last Light does not start or immediately crashes. Often this problem is eliminated by updating the video drivers.
2. The game slows down, the FPS hangs or hangs . Typically, the problem occurs in players who have a weak PC configuration. Upgrade (especially a video card), most likely, will solve the problem cardinally. Nevertheless, if you have a powerful system, then pay attention to the driver. First of all, this concerns owners of video cards from AMD.
3. The sound disappears or lags behind . Update the driver to the sound card.
4. "Missing MSVCR100.dll" . Solved by installing Microsoft Visual C ++.
5. Errors dx9, d3dx9_26.dll, and so on . Just update the DirectX libraries or drivers to the video card.
6. No flash from the shots and problems with visualization by fire. To solve the problem, you need to go to the folder with saves and game parameters. Open User.cfg, in which you find the r_api configuration and change it Parameters from 1 to 0.

As a rule, it is these problems that separate the players and the virtual world of Metro. I think, our recommendations will help you.

Secrets of the game

Does Metro: Last Light cheats? Unfortunately no. Official cheat codes for the game did not work, but there are a lot of trainers that will greatly affect the complexity of the passage.

As for the "Easter eggs" (various secrets), they are in the Metro: Last Light, Requirements for which are already at the level with the largest Western projects, enough with a surplus.

• First of all, these are books from the "Metro" universe, scattered over all subway locations.
• At the station "Venice" you can order a private dance in a local brothel.
• At the station "Teatralnaya" Artem, when he goes with Pavel on the dressing room, does not appear in the mirrors. Maybe a vampire?
• In the chapter "Temple" on one of the buildings you can see the inscription Roissya Vperde - "Russia forward!".
• At the previously mentioned station "Venice" you can find a chest-matryoshka. That is, there is another in the chest, but smaller in size, and in it there is a third, even smaller.
• In the chapter "Hell" you can find the mausoleum of Lenin.
• "The living ghost." Among the multiple dialogues on the Hansa, one can hear a conversation about Iurii Semetsky, who often turns out to be far from the most important character in the books of Russian science fiction writers and always dies.

On this, perhaps, everything.

Finally

"Ray of Hope" has become one of the best projects developed in the post-Soviet space. The game was warmly received by Western and domestic critics, and also was recognized by gamers from around the world. If you have not tried this game, then do it.
