This is a surprise, as there have been a few times in the past when the Dark Ones seemed to attack you. It sounds a lot like this will be their first try at killing you. You hear the Dark ones whisper that youвЂ™ve come to destroy them, and in response theyвЂ™re going to stop you. Before they get down to the business of imploding his mind, they show him a vision. The Dark Ones now bring their psychic powers to bear on Artyom, and even then they take their sweet time doing so despite the fact that a laser guidance system is about to send nukes hurtling toward their home. The game now splits into two possibilities. That Artyom could recognize that maybe the story about the Dark Ones declaring a war on mankind wasnвЂ™t quite accurate. And that Artyom could stretch his mind and piece together a very different narrative than the one heвЂ™s been assuming this entire time. He isnвЂ™t what you might call enlightened-not yet, anyway-but at least heвЂ™s on the right track. Your Artyom might develop some nagging doubts thanks to what comes next, but if he spent the entire game (and, by extension, his entire life) taking what he needed from people, and acting with brutal decisiveness, thatвЂ™s all they could ever be: doubts.Д«ut, if a player showed that they were helpful, and considerate, and open-minded, they would reach this point with a version of Artyom that is a Good Man. And so Metro 2033 acts like a deity, silently judging you from the shadows, even going so far as to decide what kind of person you are way back before Act Four even begins.ДЄnd if your version of Artyom reaches this point as that kind of person (the selfish and violent type), he could never even consider that the Dark Ones might not be humanityвЂ™s enemies. Back in my writeup of Act Three, I talked about the gameвЂ™s hidden morality system, and mentioned that the vast majority of players got the вЂњbadвЂќ ending, if only because they were expecting to play a video game in which they could act the way video game characters usually act-i.e., selfishly, and violently. The whole reason IвЂ™m writing this is because I believe that Metro 2033 is an Important Game, in the sense that itвЂ™s not only a finely crafted piece of entertainment, but also that it says something tragically true and profound about the state of humanity-or at the very least, about video games. Of course anything living in a place like that must be hostile, right? You can see the Dark OnesвЂ™ home far below-itвЂ™s easy to spot, and it does a fine job of looking menacing and hive-like. YouвЂ™re anything but the gun-toting mythological hero that 99% of first-person shooters make you out to be.ДЄnd then, without any significant hindrance, youвЂ™ve reached the top. The game has prepared you for a glorious final battle, and instead what you get is one of the easiest sequences in the game. YouвЂ™ll survive one climb, pull out your menacing weapon, and then put it away again to make the next ascent. The last chapter of the book was titled вЂњBorn to Creep,вЂќ and thatвЂ™s precisely what youвЂ™re doing here-youвЂ™re crawling around like a rodent. Instead, you go into the towerвЂ™s innards and find yourself clambering up rusted ladders and chipping ice off of cables with your knife so that you wonвЂ™t slip as you climb. You donвЂ™t even have much of a reason to carry a gun anymore. You donвЂ™t burst through the door to find the Dark Ones ready and waiting. Upon leaving Miller, the game takes a sudden turn. Then, when youвЂ™re finally reunited with Miller, a demon takes him out of action, and he tells you that youвЂ™ll have to continue up alone, taking the laser guidance tool for the missiles all the way to the top. Once inside the tower, an elevator leaves you and Miller separated and far from the top, and a demon begins to stalk you, taking swipes while you cower behind twisted sheet metal and crawl out of sight along the high side of the tower. It stands to reason that once you reach the tower youвЂ™ll discover the darkest and most difficult enemy yet.ДЇor a while Metro lets you think this. Or mobs of flying demons, hounding your every move.

After the Great Library and D6 upped the ante with nigh-invincible enemies and even a fairly traditional boss fight, the stage is set for the game to kick the action to the next level-a tower full of Dark Ones, perhaps, getting gunned down by the dozen as you battle to save humanity. ItвЂ™s heart-pounding stuff, and done in such a way that the player is expecting the game to keep up the pace for the entirety of this last chapter. He drives off the mutants for a few short seconds, and then the two of them sprint off to the base of the tower, battling howlers and hiding amidst wreckage all the way. It turns out that the demon that lunged down at Artyom in the intro has missed him by a hair, and Miller, brave leader of the Rangers, is near enough to jump to the rescue. Miller, saving Artyom with his awesome volt driver.
