Which means that the Reich is victorious! The Nazis win! Hooray for the Na… wait, what? It's short, often irritating, and ends with a cut-scene of Hans standing atop a mountain of filthy non-Nazi corpses. Bullets seem to spatter Hans through solid walls, the boss battle involves an attack that can kill him even if it misses completely and… well, it's not a great deal of fun to play. In many ways it's like an inferior replica of a section that already exists towards the end of the main game. The scene lacks context beyond Hans's desire to murder everyone in sight, and is so painfully restrictive that it may as well be a turret level. The first chapter on offer is Heavy Squad, which tasks players with stepping into the jackboots of Hans, a great big heefing brute of a soldier who sits in a dugout armed with a mini-gun and subsequently annihilates hordes of enemies converging on his position. Given that the core game was such an intense and atmospheric experience, it's interesting to see how these quick-hit standalone chapters hold up-not just against the main campaign, but with each other. The first piece of downloadable content (DLC) for Metro: Last Light's season pass has arrived, offering a mix of game types which vary wildly in theme, tone and quality. WTF Stare those enemies down? They just beat me to death for trying. LOW The restrictive, irritating cadence of "Heavy Squad."


HIGH The additional freedom afforded during "Kshatriya."
