Graphics and Audio

The 4A Engine is back and its capabilities make Last Light a beautiful game with dark and distinct atmospheres that wraps around you as you play and forced you to check behind you from time to time or even question yourself whether you want to go through doors in search of resources.

This atmosphere comes at a price as the best of the best graphics settings will require a powerful gaming rig and the console versions will not give you the best possible experience. Last Light has NVIDIA PhysX support that adds even more to your environment in the form of persistent debris, real-time fog and smoke and more realistic explosions with almost double the amount of particles that all react to the environment around them.

The audio is very well done on the whole. Areas with lots of people feel alive with real conversations you can stop and listen to, most which can help you as you play, though some of the voice acting can get a bit cheesy. Each of Last Light’s mutated enemies has a range of distinctly recognizable calls and roars. Even ambient objects such as fires have sound which brings the world to life.

You've seen it mentioned in our new video card reviews but is Metro: Last Light more then just a benchmark suite?
