    This game is a very fun ride! I'm happy that Konami is starting to realize that Pc gamers are important. Especially in the last stages it was very challanging and stylish, i relly enjoyed it. A must for Metal Gear fans and non fans.

    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)
    +Codec theater (allows you to listen to every interaction via COM - only 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

    The blade mode is sooo good. I thought I would get numb to that within a few tries, but turned out it has so many other factors and additions (spam-cutting is often not the best scenario in terms of outcome) that keep it interesting, not to mention the raw psychological pleasure of grinding your enemies into pieces. Kill mode/ killing cut scenes are also creative and just plain cool.

    Every boss fight is memorable. Not only did the dev think up so many different moves for each boss, but they just nailed the brief interactions between Raiden and each boss so precisely (with great lines and main character development) that evoked different emotions when fighting different boss. It tries to do the "you're not just battling, but battling with ideas" thing which is dangerous since it's beaten to death. But they still managed to pull off new and interesting ideas in the process, of which I think proudly upheld the great track record of the MGS series.

    In addition, it contains a lot of Japanese elements (environments/ character persona/ humor) which sneak in as a pleasant break from the hack and slash.

    Cons: Camera is sometimes bad, but not too much of a problem. The unnaturalness of blade mode lining is worse in comparison, on top of some spooky interactions between the character and terrain.    … Expand

It constantly looks away from the action and focuses on the wrong thing while actively preventing the player from adjusting it. There is also no Lock-On feature which makes combat even more awkward as the player cannot easily single out specific enemies and must rely on other methods instead. Compared to the Devil May Cry series with similar gameplay this game falls short which is a shame since it nails everything but the gameplay.    … Expand

    Excellent game. Visuals are amazing. The audio is great, I especially loved the music. The story's not bad, but the game play is the main selling point. I actually loathe the MGS franchise, however after seeing this game's footage I had to play it. It's incredibly fun, by far the best thing about the game. My only complaints is that it's a very short game and the pacing of it is all off.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is awesome, and well worth 30 bucks.

    GAMEPLAY: The gameplay in MGR:R is fast-paced and highly-satisfying. The first time you cut a guy in half, your jaw will drop. Then, you'll do it a hundred more times and not be tired of it. Part of the reason for this is because of a mechanic called "blade mode" in which you can slice and dice in any direction you see fit. For example, you can cut someone in half at the waist and watch their upper body slide off their lower body while their legs remain standing -- it's very reminiscent of something you might see in a Kill Bill movie or an anime.

    Part of the appeal of this game is because of blade mode and the fact that enemies rarely die in the same way twice. Want to cut someone's right foot off? Go for it. Decapitation? Done. Or maybe you just want to cut off their right arm so they can't hold their gun anymore, that's fine too. As you can see, there is a lot of room for "creative killing" and it really increases the replay value of the game.

    There is a lot of variety in enemy and level design and this keeps things fresh. While there are a fair bit of "quicktime event" prompts, they're not too obtrusive. In reality, these quicktime events usually involve some of the most mind-blowing moments that happen throughout the game.

    GRAPHICS: Beautiful. I have no complaints here and not much to say except that they're awesome.

    SOUND: The sound effects are fitting and the music helps you get into the action. If anything, I wasn't too crazy about the vocal tracks in most of the songs, but I tended to kind of phase it out after awhile and didn't notice it much.

    CONTROLS: This is one area in which I have a complaint. There is some kind of negative mouse acceleration going on which can't be disabled, and it's a little annoying. Basically, it means that small, slow mouse movements don't register and this sometimes caused me to die (mainly near the end of the game when precision was required). That said, it's not THAT noticeable, and while it could certainly be better, I feel that it doesn't detract too much from the experience as a whole.

    REPLAY VALUE: High. There are a ton of unlockables and things to get from playing again on higher difficulties and accomplishing certain tasks. Plus, you get scored at the end of each chapter and some people might appreciate trying to beat their previous score in a level.

    STORY: It doesn't really "continue" the Metal Gear Solid storyline in any real way, but, instead, branches off on a different path to show what Raiden did after MGS4: Sons of the Patriots. In traditional MGS fasion, the story is told through several cutscenes, some of which are rather lengthy. In fact, the cutscenes of MGR:R are one of the most impressive aspects of this game to me. I was blown away by the animation, the voice acting, etc. The cutscenes seem to be mostly (or entirely) done in the in-game engine and are a joy to watch.

    CONCLUSION: Overall, this is simply an awesome game which I feel has gone mostly overlooked by the gaming population. It drips with AAA quality and is fun to play -- what more do you want?    … Expand

Anyway this game also had really great music that fit the game perfectly, and Raiden's transformation from whiny self-pitying loser in MGS4 who seriously says "it even rained on the day I was born" LOL (I still liked MGS4 Raiden) into a psycho cyborg killing obsessed maniac is great.

Empecemos con algo bueno:
    La música es increíble, tiene una buena banda sonora con notas dando en el momento justo, seguro acabaras descargando la música. Un aspecto malo es que el juego DURA 5 HORAS. Es extremadamente corto, si lo re-juegas puedes superarlo en menos, de hecho, hay un logro en el cual debes terminarlo en menos de 3 horas. Es corto y los creadores lo saben. Sin embargo, el combate es muy divertido, tienes una espada pero luego puedes desbloquear mas espadas y otras 3 armas únicas, pero tienes que pagar por todas ellas y solo tienen ataques fuerte por lo que no puedes bloquear si no usas espada, así que acabaras usando solo la espada o sufrirás muchos daños por golpes que con ningún arma secundarias podrás bloquear. Y si hablamos de jefes? Son batallas muy entretenidas, cada jefe es único y también tienen personalidades únicas, aparte de que tienen muy buena música. Sin embargo son algo malas en si, y en si me refiero a lo fácil que algunas son. Aquí llegas a tener un rival llamado "Sam", un igual que usa la espada que parece ser un igual en poder como Dante y Vergil en DmC. Pero no lo es, es tal ves el jefe mas fácil de todo el juego... Eso es lamentable. :( Otro aspecto negativo es que no hay tanta variedad en el combate como en DmC: Devil May Cry, por el gran historial de Platinium Games esperaba mas variedad y algo mas de duración. Se puede re-jugar pero hay problemas como que no puedes saltarte de un clic el dialogo de personajes, tienes que mantener Z y esperar como medio minuto a que paren de hablar. Además se volverá mas repetitivo el combate si lo re juegas. DmC: Devil May Cry tenia una historia de igual calibre y un combate mas variado y mejor, aparte de una mayor duración y variedad de enemigos. Aquí los personajes son muy interesantes destacando a: Raiden, Doktor, Wolf y el villano Armstron, que lamentablemente solo sale 10 minutos en todo el maldito juego. Pero los 10 minutos son oro puro, es uno de mis villanos favoritos, en serio, si lo miran seguro que se te quedara en la mente por un rato. (este es mi primer metal gear, seguro que han habido mejores por lo que he oído) Al final le tengo que dar un 06/10, por lo corto y repetitivo pierde puntos, pero aun así es buen juego, consigue a 30 o si puedes menos, el juego esta... es algo así como uno de los manjares de los hoteles que son pequeños, deliciosos y, lamentablemente, con un precio muy elevado. Si tuviera que puntuarlo por su precio completo de consola le daría un 05/10, pero por suerte la versión de PC salio ganando.    … Expand

    -Bosses are fun to fight,fun to listen to,and are poetic.
    -Bosses have personalities,substance,character build-up,so fighting them feels a lot more better due to that build-up.
    -Enemies are cut where you cut them,not just random generated gore,where your blade lands,your cut appears...even when not in blade mode,or even more so with the fox blade.
    -Optimization is good,anyone saying the PC port isn't optimized is totally fooling you around,with all the details,enemies,objects,can even be cut to hundred pieces or more with you god damned HF Blade,that's a lot of optimization right here.And when I say everything,I mean everything,from ceiling,windows,chairs,tables,anything your blade touches except well,walls of course,because that'd be an open world game if that happened.
    -Raiden's in it.
    -Because ninja.
    -Fun,no seriously if you master the combos and can combo while dodging or parrying it's so fun and engaging,especially the block mechanic..though I know why some people get put off by it,because it has a high skill-ceiling to even block something..you can block a hundred missiles coming at you in a span of 3 seconds if you can press a hundred times in that 3 seconds...especially with the battle with Monsoon blocking and dodging takes a lot of skill,not for CASUALS.
    -Casuals might have a hard time especially if their reflexes or timing is crap even at medium difficulty,and nigh impossible at hard for someone who doesn't have good reflex or timing.

    Cons:
    -Not for casuals.
    -Not a stealth based game,though there are some stealth levels.
    -So many people **** how hard it is,when it isn't.It's just they haven't put much time into the learning curve.
    -If you don't have a good imagination,you might find it absurd(the story and ways of executing it).So not for someone too grounded in the real world,go play something else like real life simulator or something if a game which isn't all too real bothers you.

    The only thing why I'm not giving it a 10 is the consideration for those who have sentiments on a pure stealth metal gear game.Other than that I would've gave it a 10.Also,the price...the price isn't just right,it's like you just ripped off Konami,a game like this should've been 60-100 bucks for a master hack and slasher.

    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 most about this game was that It is a completely brand new experience in the Metal Gear franchise. We had never seen something likes this before, what makes it a perfect spin off to enjoy something different. This time, instead of the kind of stealth game we were used to see we have a Hack and slash developed by one of the best companies in this genre, Platinum Games.

This time, instead of the kind of stealth game we were used to see we have a Hack and slash developed by one of the best companies in this genre, Platinum Games.
    The story takes place several years after Metal Gear Solid 4, when the patriots seem to be vanished and looks like the peace is coming back to world thanks to private security companies like "Maverick", in which Raiden (our main character we already know if we had played other metal gears before) is involved. However, this last for a little time and Raiden will be forced to get back to action once again.
    The game is full of frenetism and action moments, what makes it really epic and gripping. The gameplay is by far the best part of the game, it's really well made. It's really fun chopping into pieces the enemies who dare to face us with our blade like they were butter and going trough the levels as a cyber ninja. The bosses are great too, from Metal gears to some others cyber ninjas that we'll have to fight along the game.
    It's a pity that such an amount of fun was so short, it will take us around five hours to finish the game what really makes us to want more. Another thing that we have to take into account is that despite we play as a metal gear character, is not as deep as any other title of the saga. The customization is poor and the story is irrelevant.
    To sum up, the game is epic and you'll enjoy a really good couple of hours. However, it's not necessary for the Metal gears storyline and the depth of the plot is disappointing.    … Expand

    - Мобы. Мобы-люди откровенно хуже рядовых мобов из Dmc, их мало и убиваются они слишком быстро, в таком случае я не успевал войти в раж, как это происходит со мной в серии Devil may cry например. где сложность и количество мобов к слову всегда поддерживается на таком уровне, что ты просто входишь в этот адреналиновый коридор, и забываешь про всё на свете. Здесь этого нет, более того, иногда даже приходилось скучать, и фишка с шинковкой врагов на фарш хоть и крута, но не спасает положение. Также есть мобы-роботы, с ними ситуация получше, но опять же, баланс плох, либо их мало, и интереса в боях с ними никакого нет, либо слишком много, что принуждает к стелсу, так как открытое противостояние равносильно смерти.

    Боссы. По этому пункту опять же Dmc предпочтительнее, там их больше, и что самое главное бои с ними интереснее. В метал гир райзинг действительно круты только Monsoon, который заставил попотеть и потраить, и финальный файт. Остальные боссы мало того, что лёгкие, так и ничего интересного в плане механик в боях с ними и стадий, то есть изменений их состояний по ходу боя, больше не было. И это очень мало, для слэшера с такой продолжительностью.

    - Сюжет. Этот компонент конечно в слэшерах не главное, но в данном случае он не затянул ни на минуту. Это банальная история про амбициозных людей, стемящихся к власти и я был бы только рад, если бы диалогов и кат-сцен было меньше. Их количество превышало все разумные нормы для данного жанра и здорово портило динамику. Но раз кодзима учавствовал в разработке, то по другому наверно быть и не могло.

    - Дизайн локаций, графика. Здесь всё очень плохо, по графике это как-будто 2009 год. По дизайну локаций, сплошная серость и одинаковые улочки, закончил игру буквально час назад, а памяти даже зацепиться не за что, когда речь идёт о интересных локациях и красивых визуальных решениях.

    - Механика боёв, их зрелищность. Здесь игра выступает достойно, есть различные комбо, есть интересная механика, базирующаяся на травмировании тел врагов и последующей расчленёнке.

    Итог: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE - крутой слэшер с потрясающей механикой боёв, которому не хватает интенсивности геймплея и красоты, а также разнообразия локаций. То есть, это такой F.E.A.R. от мира слэшеров, тому тоже не хватало интенсивности экшна, из-за регулярных хоррор-эпизодов, и интересных решений в гейм-дизайне - вся игра была сплошным серым коридором. В основе этих двух игр заложена потрясающая механика, которая страдает от неудачных решений гейм-дизайна. Хотел поставить 7, но финальный босс файт дал жару, поэтому...

    The camera is awful, even with the mod that tries to improve it.

    The save system is very non-ideal and thus you end up having to restart the whole level instead of just an earlier save/checkpoint.

    There are certain things that are frustratingly finicky, such as stealth kill. You get right on the enemy's back but only some of the time it will give the prompt to stealth kill. The other half of the time it just does nothing and alerts the enemy and you have to play the section over and over.

    Doesn't seem to be any option to bind a key to weapon switch so you have to go in the menu every time you want to do that.

    The game has some cool & unique aspects but the annoying parts kind of ruin it.

    The AI's detection of you when you're trying not to be seen has zero consistency.

    The blade mode can be super inaccurate at times. Such as when you need to cut a guy's arm off to collect a special item. I found myself having to restart the checkpoint over and over even though the sword appeared to be going through the highlighted spot. Ended up just ignoring that whole aspect of the game because it's just not fun.

    Too often you're fighting against bugs/glitches/bad design. To where any desire to complete the bonus objectives/challenges (or even the end of the game) is lost.    … Expand

    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!

    If you love hack n slash game this game is really good and might be up there with devil may cry. Still has some problems but the boos fights and their characters are amazing apart from the main villain.

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.

    Actually, one of the best game i have ever played. Almost all game design elements strive for perfectness. Characters, soundtracks, fightings, weapons, level design. But there is a small porblem - parrying. Its quite difficult to understand at first time how to do such stuff, but when you have realized how to implement it, it will be an easy and satisfying game for you.

    It’s definitely different from the other metal gear games, but that doesn’t make bad. It’s a very fun hack and slash. Reminds me of DMC or something similar, the story is interesting and it’s also and added plus with all the memes coming recently. It’s great. Definitely try it.

    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)

    This is some of the most fun I have ever had playing a game before. The combat is so fluid and satisfying. The quick time events are actually good which was surprising. Some of the best bosses I've ever fought and all of them are super memorable characters. A crazy story that is super cheesy but still works. Awesome game. One of the best soundtracks in video game history as well.

    I remember playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance when I was younger but I wasn't good at it and I couldn't play it properly.
    Few years later, after hearing about all the ridiculous memes on the internet, I was interested in giving it another try, however, I felt like the game lived off from its memes and not because it's actually a good game.

    After playing it though, I can definitely say that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a really enjoyable Hack 'n' Slash game! The camera is awkward at times but the combat system is very fun and it has some cool mechanics.
    The highlight of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance isn't the gameplay though, it's the bosses; they're just epic!
    Also, the music is awesome and the visuals hold up well, even though the environments look uninteresting for the most part.
    Unfortunately, the narrative is not on par with the rest of the game in my opinion. Thankfully, the characters are likable and the dialogue is funny at times, but the story is quite bad overall and very short; it could've been longer.

    Pros:
    + Great gameplay
    + Interesting mechanics
    + Amazing bosses
    + Fantastic music
    + Charming characters

    Cons:
    - Camera issues
    - Bland environments
    - Weak & short story

    Narrative: 3/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Characters: 6/10
    Music: 9/10
    Graphics/Audio: 6/10

    Final Rating: 8/10
    - Great -
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a very enjoyable Hack 'n' Slash game that aged well.

    Do I recommend it?:
    It's worth playing this game solely for the memes but I'd recommend it mostly to fans of the genre because the narrative is lacking.    … Expand

    Metal Gear Rising это такой добротный слэшер. От самого начала и до конца он держит тебя в тонусе, лично я не заметил мест где геймплей бы проседал или был душным. Ты можешь расслабленно играть 50% всех глав.Оставшиеся 50% это боссы. Все они в своей степени сложные. У них разные атаки и особенности.У одного это надоедливые роботы которые мешают тебе двигаться у другого взрывной щит. Из за чего тактика боя тоже разная. Иногда приходится прям сильно попотеть. Благо разработчики расставили чекпоинты в правильных местах. Почти убил очень сложного босса и тебе осталось QTE чтобы его добить? Держи чекпоинт перед QTE. Но так не на каждом боссе. Где то нужно потратить больше или меньше времени. Бой со всеми боссами очень приятно ощущается и некоторые из них можно сравнить с прекрасным парным танцем. Что по поводу оружия? Его здесь не так много(пара самурайских мечей и 3 дополнительных). В основе лежит простая механика боя завязанная на слабых и сильных атаках а также выставлении блока на вражеские атаки. Есть множество комбинаций и игрок может изучать новые. Есть специальный режим когда ты можешь порезать врага на огромное количество мелких кусочков. Так же есть возможность прокачивать и изменять снаряжение. Это все оплачивается за отдельные поинты которые ты получаешь в битвах. И я считаю что этого достаточно для этой игры. Это не слишком напрягает и ты просто качаешь то что видишь особо не думая.
    Единственно в чем проседает эта игра так это в гейм дизайне уровней. Все уровни коридорные и особо ничем не заполнены. И не дают должной свободы передвижения из-за чего очень плохо работает стелс.
    Графика не берет звезд с небес. Может для ПС3 И коробки 360 она и норм. Но в наше время выглядит немного плоско. Но на нее ты будешь обращать меньше всего внимания во время битв. Единственное но так это то что в катсценах разрешение маленькое.(720p мб)
    Если коротко то графика удовлетворила меня.
    Теперь про аудио составляющую.
    Музыка она подобрана просто изумительно. У каждого босса своя песня которая очень хорошо подстраивается под происходящее в бою.Не уровень The Shaadow of Colossus, но она так же держит тебя в тонусе и морально помогает тебе в сражении.
    Озвучка тоже шикарна.Каждый персонаж озвучен отлично и имеет харизму. Особенно смешит когда американский персонаж специально говорит на великом русском с акцентом. В такие моменты у меня появлялась неподдельная улыбка.

    Сюжет.
    Начну с того что каждый персонаж очень хорошо запоминается и врезается в память. Сюжет написан хорошо и дает пищу для размышлений во время игры. Но это не делает его менее интересным. Ты пропитываешься симпатией к врагам и понимаешь их мотивацию. Это по настоящему взрослый сюжет на 10 часов.    … Expand
