  Metro: Last Light Review

  

  Crawling through the murky tunnels of the Russian metro system never ceases to terrify.

Random generation of coins and guard locations make every attempt new and unexpected, always foiling any carefully formulated plans you construct. Whether alone or a team, the challenge is such that you can never count on any methods or strategies to succeed, forced to rely on your wits constantly for even a modicum of chance at victory.
