Review: Metro Last Light - Chronicles Pack DLC

G'day there guys and gals!

***Warning! This DLC review will have some excessive spoilers for the main storyline and this DLC. Read at your own caution!***

The fourth and final DLC for Metro Last Light has been released; The Chronicles is set on three secondary characters - Pavel, Khan and Anna - and their stories of other happenings alongside the tale of Artyom's mission to save D6 and the people of the Metro. Not only does this DLC give much needed insight on the characters but also fixes the plot-holes and mishaps throughout the main story.

First is the Pavel mission: After encountering Artyom in Venice and escaping him, he is once again captured (To which he remarks on this in the opening sequence) by the bandits at Venice and set to torture. Escaping, he sneaks and fights his way through, desperately trying to get back to the front line. This is by far the longest part in the DLC, but keep an eye out for collectables and a scarcely old woman, trust me on that.
The Khan mission is a bit of a tease to the fans of the series, featuring only a small amount of time playing as Khan himself. Instead you take on Ulhman, a Ranger in the Order on a mission to destroy a Red train full of supplies and soldiers. This train is the same one Khan and Artyom is chasing to find the Dark One; this meaning it's Ulhman who causes the train to explode and nearly kill him and the Dark One. After quickly finding Khan, the two set off back to Polis, encountering Anomalies and deadly, deadly rats along the way. Khan is only playable by the end of the mission and this is extremely rushed and quick. Only one good thing came out that experience to which I dub: "The Shotgun Revolver", a six barreled shotgun that works like a revolver. It's AWESOME!
The Anna mission completes the tie offs of the plot-holes as you return to the very first mission. Seeing Artyom from a different perspective is a little odd but quite welcoming and fun to sit and snipe Watchmen around him. After Artyom collapses, Anna makes her way down her perch and wades through a few platoons of Red soldiers, only to watch Artyom and the Dark One whisked away, leaving her stranded in a storm. This mission is reletively short but definitely fun; seeing an iconic scene in a different view was quite nice and good for the nostalgia to kick in. 

In reality, Chronicles Pack offers fans a deeper look into the history of the Metro (And Khan's past, woo!) and the continuing stories of the main characters. While the DLC offers no additional content for the main story (Which is a bummer because the new weapons would've been useful and revamp gameplay), Chronicles is a fun way to kill an hour - a short hour - but a fun one.
