Introduction, setup, requirements

Three years ago, Metro 2033 appeared, a post-apocalyptic shooter with ties to the celebrated STALKER series. The game was -- eventually -- a reasonable success, selling over 1.5 million copies as of June 2012. Reviewers and fans praised it, though it lacked some performance optimizations on PC. Now its sequel – Metro: Last Light – is here.
