## About Lost Light

Lost Light is a free-to-play extraction shooter released in 2022 by NetEase Games. Players take on missions as part of the Firefly task force within a post-apocalyptic exclusion zone, scavenging for supplies while engaging in tactical PvP combat against other players, with online co-op support available. The game features character progression, pet systems, seasonal content, and a risk-reward loop that defines the extraction shooter genre. Reviewers highlight that the close-light mechanic still feels unique to the experience, and many note the extraction gameplay is tense and the free-to-play model offers substantial content despite flashbacks of its former self. The atmosphere draws players in, though some describe it as melancholic and stressful. Currently holding a 53% positive rating from 6,245 Steam reviews, Lost Light is not supported on Steam Deck.
