At a recent showcase for THQ games such as Darksiders 2 and Company of Heroes 2, the moody first-person shooter Metro Last Light stood out most effectively.
It had an upsetting live-action trailer.s

And it had a creepy demo involving two Russian survivors of a nuclear attack who exited the protection of a fortified underground refuge to creep and shoot their way through a destroyed urban landscape.They explored a crashed plane, fought off beastly wolves and struggled all the while to find fresh air to breathe.
I took the following notes that succinctly remind of the reasons that this 2013 game is one to care aboutā¦
1) This is not a Western post-Apocalypse. Itās a post-Soviet one, with a mix of realism, mysticism and folkloreā¦ ghosts, demons and gritty drama
2) One of the gameās developers says: āOur bid is to combat shooter fatigueā¦[to fight] against the sense that single-player is just a shooting gallery.ā
3) And he also says, āIād love to say enjoy the demo but frankly I hope it gives you nightmares.ā
Thatās pretty much enough for me. I want to play this thing.
