This is my ongoing exploration of the Metro games, played in release order. I will chronicle my playthrough of each title in turn and discuss any recurring themes and noteworthy events. This time I finish Metro: Last Light Redux.
With Pavel having been taken care of, and General Korbut’s plans unveiled, I was on my way to Polis…
The child Dark One and I had reached a park, and upon entering it could see trees being knocked over by whatever lived inside. This did not look good. As I walked along the only trail - there was plenty of water waiting to drown me - I could hear a low growl from something. Constantly.
A shrimp tried to eat me, resulting in it getting gunned down for its efforts. Things were fine, though stormy and with that always present growling, as I went through the park, until I happened across some watchers. I let them go past me, but one of them must have turned around, because it clobbered me from behind!
Gunning down a handful of them, and wondering where the child Dark One had gotten off to, I made my way into an area that might have once been a fountain. Now it was more like a sacrificial altar. And the watcher pack that descended upon me seemed perfectly willing to carry out the culling.
Thankfully, after killing only a couple of them, something made the watchers scarper. On the one hand, that was good for me. On the other hand, it meant that whatever knocked the tree down was enough to scare a pack of watchers. Following a path, I wound up crawling through some vegetation. Ahead, I saw a few mutant bear cubs playing. Until their mother appeared on a ridge and roared at them.
