Metro 2033 was a graphical powerhouse and it appears its follow-up, Metro: Last Light, will continue in the same vein.
But if you thought your PC was ready to deliver the best Metro: Last Light can offer then you may have to think again – optimal performance requires a Nvidia Titan graphics card, 8GB or memory, and an Intel i7. That kind of hardware doesn’t come cheap.
