But he is haunted by the darkness of winter – namely, his decision to launch the missiles that destroyed the mysterious Dark Ones. Artyom, the returning protagonist from the first game, has a home, has friends, has a position among the Spartan Rangers. In many ways Last Light is the spring to 2033’s winter. Now, out of the ashes of the THQ meltdown, 4A Games brings us the sequel, Metro: Last Light, this time published by Deep Silver. Based on the fiction of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, it offered a deeply atmospheric, post-apocalyptic linear shooter experience. Metro 2033 garnered quite a bit of critical acclaim when it exploded onto the scene back in 2010.
