Each one has many lines of dialog, so it pays to take these quieter moments at your own pace to get some background on your situation. If you turn on Ranger mode at the start of the game, the HUD disappears completely, although this also hides the control hints at the start of the game so it's best to familiarise yourself with the controls first.Įven in the normal mode, where you get a small HUD listing your ammunition reserves, Last Light is incredibly immersive – the Metro tunnels are filled with NPCs that go about their routines around you. It looks even better because your view isn't obscured by an immersion-breaking HUD – your gas mask cracks and fogs when it's time to swap air filters, your weapons have magazines that let you see how many bullets you have chambered at a glance and you have to physically pull out a map to see where your next objective is. Considering the small Ukrainian development team allegedly had to smuggle development kits across borders and resort to mobile generators when the national power grid failed over the winter, it's incredible that they have managed to create a game that looks better than some of this year's multi-million dollar blockbusters. The lighting effects are truly next generation, casting accurate shadows and illuminating rooms with stunning levels of detail. As you might expect for a game set mostly underground, Last Light is a dark game that's best played with the lights off, but even in the gloom it looks fantastic.
