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 continue Metro: Last Light Redux.
Having just survived spiderbugs, murdered bandits, totalled the railcar, and fended off a nosalis attack - I was finally on my way to confront Pavel, the man who betrayed me…
The fisherman who had picked me up - Fedor - chatted about how lucky it was that he had been fishing nearby when I rang the bell which alerted the nosalises. I was about to agree when I was knocked off of the boat. Fedor pulled me back aboard, and warned me that he would tell me when I had to hold on. I turned around in time to duck and avoid a beam (which he didn’t mention), and soon enough we were in a large area filled with mutants he called shrimps.
Fedor told me not to shoot at them, as they would ignore us if we left them alone, and I was happy to do so. Until they attacked us. They spat at me, jumped both of us and kept trying to get on board the boat. I shot, stabbed and shot some more, only realising as we were making our escape that I should definitely have been using something other than my double barreled shotgun. It was looking like we were going to make it, but to make sure Fedor threw a tin box full of dynamite at the shrimp.
The resulting tidal wave certainly sped up the next part, as we hung on for dear life and hoped that it wouldn’t capsize us. When the water returned to normal, we carried on to Venice.
