    Лично для меня это лучший слэшер из всех ныне существующих. Для многих серия DMC является эталоном жанра, но у нее тоже есть свои минусы. Порог вхождения гораздо выше и сложнее чем MGRR и для многих это наоборот окажется плюсом. Отбитые фанатики (не настоящие фанаты) DMC посчитают MGRR слэшером для казуалов.

Эта игра с одной из самых лучших и драйвовых саундтреков боссфайтов, если не самая лучшая. Серьезно, в течении полугода я почти каждый день запускал боссфайты, чтобы послушать великолепный саундтрек этой игры. Чего только стоит вокал в конце битвы с боссом. Все тело на драйве и каждая клетка твоего тела отзывается на эту музыку. В то время как в том же DMC5 запоминается только 2 саундтрека: главная тема девил тригера и музыкальная тема Вергилия. Из боссфайтов запоминается только сам Вергилий в конце игры. Я не хейтер DMC5 и игра более чем достойная, а боевка, графика и анимации на голову выше чем в MGRR. Тем не менее DMC5 не запоминается и не откладывается в твоем сердце так как это делает MGGR.… Expand

    В своё время купил ради неё консоль. Теперь купил и на пк. Игра просто пушка! Боёвка на парировании очень хороша. Сюжет и катсцены шикарны и их мноооого. Музыка сразу в плейлист улетает. Тонна крутого пафоса и юмор.

    The only good not-kojima's Metal Gear game. An excellent slasher with unique ingame physics approach. This part absolutely fits in the canon of the series (no matter what fans say) and brings some new depth and colors to it. Boss fights, music, dialogs,characters — everything was made with soul.

    Senator Armstrong did nothing wrong.
    9/10 (too little Sunny's screen time)

    I played this game in 2021 and i can say that graphics still good, gameplay is fun and a little hard in starting the game but with playing and learning mechanics it gets so much fun to play it! 100% worth playing and i can easily say that this game deserves more credits hat 8.1 as score!

Very drive and intense, feels like doom eternal. * 16.June.2021 * took me at least 8 hours (5-6 days) * Played on xbox one gamepad, felt so much more comfy then sitting at keyboard and mouse, I guess that is one reason why I play less games now - MY BACK HURTS AND STRESSES * VERY OPTIMISED(?), my laptop was so quiet when I played even the most intense moments. I don’t understand how that is possible when my other games use all power yet don’t even reach stable 100fps. Although it could be because the MGR was in 60fps and I just didn’t notice and care… * Musson and especially Armstrong **** me very hard *great OST!!!… Expand

Если у вас там неожиданно не будет хотя бы 5 хилок, то вы рискуете просто никогда не закончить эту игру или вы сломаете джойстик, или джойстик сломает вас. А пекарям на клаве я вообще хз что делать.

    Boss fights are awesome especially with the music blasting your ear drums! Combat is satisfying and fun! Only problem I have with MGR is that it's too short. But there are 60 achievements so I would recommend everyone unlocking those (I have already 65 % of them) I recommend!

    First of all: Soundtrack is better than lots of games. Graphics looks good even in 2020. Game-play is fast paced and enjoyable(a lot). Story is short but awesome. Also DLC's great too. One of the best games I've ever played. Also this game is better than MGS: Survive.

    Awesome combat, fun story, fine enemy designs, okayish visuals, mostly forgettable sound and level design. It's a game that does what it focuses on extremely well, but lacks in more in-between aspects that could have glued the whole thing into a perfect experience.

    Arguably the best game i've ever played. The story doesn't reach the level of the other mgs games, but you'll be too engrossed in the gameplay to notice it. Best soundtrack ive heard in a game for a while, a really fun slash and dash game.
    Pc controls are atrocious and id recommend playing with a controller. Also graphics aren't too good, but the gameplay overpowers it all

    Pros
    +Fast pace action game like any other Platinum game with Metal Gear series style references and aspects
    +5 Difficulty modes (Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Revengeance)
    +Lengthy story mode that will take at least 12-15 hours and DLC stories that will take 3-4 hours
    +VR Missions allow you to do challenges and re-do tutorial mode
    +Cutscene theater (becomes unlockable once finished with story)

    +Chapter select (allows you to go back to other levels to re-do them)

    Cons
    -Can get tedious due to QTEs which are mainly in boss battles
    -Character progression is locked in difficulty, unlike other action games, cannot play different difficulties with character upgrades (i.e. finishing normal mode and going to easy mode/hard mode afterwards)
    -DLC difficulty is higher than main story and with far less upgrades
    -Environment designs look generic and bland

    Unlike what sometimes happens when I play a popular game some years after it's release, I do see the appeal of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

    One of my last glimpses into an era before Konami utterly sabotaged the Metal Gear series, MGR was something of a "dream team" game: The visual design and deep political and technological musings of Kojima Productions and the gonzo action of Platinum Games. While not a generally a fan of Platinum's brand of button mashing, "get good or go home" approach to combat design, I found MGR much more enjoyable then God Hand or Bayonetta, though in the end I think I preferred Mad World.

    A little plot for those unfamiliar with the parent franchise- in as much as anyone could hope to summarize Metal Gear's story. You take the role of Jack, aka Raiden, a conflicted former child soldier turned cyborg mercenary, currently in the employ of Maverick, a PMC with a moral code of conduct attempting to help small countries stabilize themselves. Your enemies are the significantly less moral cyborgs of another group, Desperado, seeking to foment conflict in trouble zones around the world. After a job goes bad and Raiden gets the ♥♥♥♥ kicked out of him by one Jetstream Sam, a Brazilian ronin with hidden motivations, he gets some upgrades and a chip on his shoulder. Armed with a "high-frequency" blade, he must grapple not only with Desperado's top lieutenants, the "Winds of Destruction", and Jetstream Sam, but his own past as the feared "Jack the Ripper".

    MGR's controls are easy enough to pick up, even on keyboard, though the camera is incredibly wonky. The game's challenge is learning to block enemy attacks and the timing for parries. Blocking is non-standard in function, requiring you hold a movement button and press attack in the direction of an incoming blow. I never quite got the hang of it and you essentially cannot defeat the final boss without it, forcing me to beat my head against the fight until I learned the timing for the blocks. I kind of face-tanked my way through most of the game via the DLC Medical Body included in the PC version, but you will eventually run out of health kits and have to figure out blocking, especially, I would imagine, on higher difficulties. On easy, an assist function makes blocking easier by eliminating the need to hold the correct direction.

    Blocking woes aside, the combat is quite fun. Raiden has access to a variety of moves and sub-weapons, as well as the much-loved "Blade Mode" function: Holding left trigger, or left shift, depending, activates a slow motion mode where you can use the mouse or right stick to carve up enemies into possibly hundreds of pieces, though a single cut will often suffice for a kill. And, if it is a weak enemy or a stronger enemy that you have opened for a finisher via a parry or simply beating them down, you will have the opportunity to use "Zandatsu", that is, striking their core and retrieving their repair units, thus replenishing Raiden's health and power, the latter of which is consumed when using Blade Mode. You have the option for stealth kills and even using Metal Gear's famous cardboard boxes to attempt to hide from enemies. To help with this, you can "Augmented Reality" vision mode which allows you to spot enemies and items through walls and plan your approach to an area. On normal you are not really punished for being spotted and having to fight your way out, at least compared to Metal Gear Solid, but you do get a bonus for not triggering alarms and this is probably necessary if you were going for an all "S" rank run. Other items include various grenades, rocket launchers, and health and power kits.

    While not nearly as long or dialogue-dense as its parent series, MGR is nonetheless dialogue and backstory-heavy for an action game and the "Codec" function is alive and well. Any time during a mission, including boss fights, you can call up your mission control NPCs and converse with them. These conversations may sometimes give hints for defeating bosses, but many of them are simply for flavor: politics, military tactics, food culture, technology, and so on. One character, Courtney, also handles manual saving, though the game frequently autosaves. From the Codec menu you can also access a customization menu to purchase upgrades for Raiden's cybernetics, and a VR mission interface containing various training missions and bonus challenges. Completing these missions awards "BP" currency just as the main story does, which can be used to purchase the aforementioned upgrades.

    While I cannot say I ever actually got good at it, I nonetheless enjoyed MGR, especially having previously played Metal Gear Solid. If you are familiar with Raiden from the second and fourth games and perhaps was not a fan of him as I was, at least initially, he really comes into his own as a character here. Sneaking was never really his thing anyway.    … Expand

    What I liked
    The gameplay - if you played any Platinum game you know what I'm talking about. Its fast,
    responsive and just fun overall OST - The OST is pretty damn good, one of the best I've ever listened to in a game Story - Its.. well dumb, but in a good way. I liked it Bossfights - Bossfights are very well done, I've enjoyed every one of them The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs    What I liked

    The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs where you play as different characters, its short but they
    are free, so no problem with that
    The meme material - NANOMACHINES, SON

    What I didn't like
    The camera - It's fixed to your back, so when you try to look up it's quite difficult to do so.
    The lock-on system - It doesn't work well, it moves your camera to weird angles where it's hard
    to see the enemy.

    Bugs - I've encountered one. In a boss fight, you have to cut through stuff the boss throws at
    you 4 times in a row. On the last one, Raiden turned his back on the boss making it
    hard to cut through it.

    9/10 - Give me a sequel or atleast a remaster god damnit    … Expand
