I keep hearing good things about Last Light's story. Can you say why it's so good, without spoiling it? ;o

Let me guess. For starters, Last Light is set upon the bad ending of 2033 (I was surprised it didn't go with the good one). You're spoiled at the beginning of the consequences of your decisions in 2033. After that, the main character lives "happily" in an underground base from where he has been named Ranger (the top of the top), and you're tasked with one last mission: hunting the last Dark One alive. I don't have to say though, that the mission goes wrong and you end up trapped somewhere else, from where the game begins.
The thing about Last Light story is that it develops its characters smoothly. People from 2033 is back here, and they got stronger personality than ever. So, along with your failed mission, you met a new sidekick on which you'll spend most of the first half of the game. I can't develop further from here because that would be a huge spoiler.
The game is set in two halfs. At least, that's how I consider the game. I can't explain to you what separates these two parts, but I can say the game's tone drastically changes during the second. On which you, the silent, main character, start working into the path of redemption. Then you're forced to make choices that don't impact you, but someone's else (can't tell you who). By the time you hit the final chapter, you still haven't redeemed yourself, but you're tasked with an impossible mission; depending on the whole amount of choices that you made during the first and second half of the game, a closure will be provided, with two different endings.
That's as far as I can tell you until I start venturing into spoiler-light zones.
