May 10, 2017Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a open-world third-person stealth shooter with lots of action and various RPG elements. It has a good number of gameplay mechanics and also sports a commendable amount of content, but many a times feels too much. On top of its usual cringeworthy cinematics, MGSV:TPP presents its bad and repetitive game design in an annoying fashion.

Jan 10, 2016First of all, it wasn't a complete game. Having said that, I have to say that the first 20 hours of this games were very fun but after the First Chapter, the game starts to fall apart. To sum up, a decent and fun game in the beginning and after that, just an insult to the buyers.

May 3, 2016This game is captivating at first, it seems promising, but as you played through you'll notice that some of the game's event are utterly ridiculous, some of them seems forced, that ridiculous girl character Quiet barely wearing anything, final boss roars like some retard, disappointing.

Aug 24, 2017Pros: it looks great, mostly good voice acting, Mother Base management, good soundtrack, metal gear online III
Cons: Kiefer Sutherland as Snake, boring opening, repetitive missions, empty open world, bullet-sponge bosses, unfinished ending, lack of story, bad characters and script, no punishment for being detected, bad level design, microtransactions
Final Verdict: Mediocre -
Sep 21, 2017It may be a massive disappointment as a metal gear game, but damn it I still loved it. The gameplay was just so good, with such variety in approaches, and as convoluted as the story was I still liked it. It did just as the name said, and left the series with phantom pain.

Dec 9, 2018First 3 hours it loolks like best game. But after that it is stereotyped and boring. I dont understand this score. If you are big fan of steal action game, maybe yes. Why on pc are not games more linear like last of us, god of war, etc.
-
Mar 7, 2019I can't understand why people like this game.
-empty open world
-grind gmp
-boring missions
-disgusting snake
etc.
(Just my opinion do not pay attention.) -
Jul 19, 2020Great stealth game. Probably the best one around, at least these days. Great controls, music, story, weapons. Ultra stylistic and effective.
-
Sep 1, 2019Un gran juego, muy completo. Muchas misiones principales, secundarias, tareas en cada misión, misiones multijugador, tareas secundarias, dos mapas completos explorables y seguro que se me olvida algo más. Sin duda el juego lo merece mucho.
Kojima sabe como crear un buen juego que combine la jugabilidad y los vídeos con una trama que al final te deja con más. -

Dec 4, 2018Base building, collecting plants and resources, cartoon-like meteo baloon for rescuing poor animals and a total lack of story (apart from prologue) is not what I was expecting from Metal Gear Solid... The environment, covert ops mechanics, graphics, design - all this is just fine, but this game IS NOT Metal Gear Solid.

Mar 16, 2016Wow, did I have a lot of fun playing this game. Sadly it only gets a 9/10 since Act II was basically rushed and doesn't really even compare anywhere close to Act I. If this game had an Act II that was just as good as Act I, it would be a 10/10. The game itself is pretty amazing. Best sandbox shooter I've ever played.
-
Feb 11, 2019Amazing gameplay, amazing music, great graphics. The only thing this game is lacking is a more cohesive story.
-
Sep 9, 2017Metal Gear Solid V is, hands down, the best stealth game currently.
The bad:
* Ocelot: Lacks everything that made Ocelot, OCELOT. He's just a regular guy.
* The ending: Didn't like to be honest, the missions before the ending are bloody gorgeous, but the ending. Not really.
* Main missions as repetitions of previous missions? Terrible.
* It's really easy.
The really good:
Everything else. -

Nov 4, 2015I have played countless games in the past 30 years and I thought I hit a point where I could no longer say one is my favorite. I guess not, because this is my favorite game of all time. As a gamer and a Metal Gear fan since the beginning this is game not to be missed.

Feb 22, 2017After more than 150 hours of my life in this game, can say only this: "It's the best game for PC I have ever played. Now want to touch all previous MGS games."
And also: good graphics, great optimization, very good music, excellent gameplay. -
Feb 14, 2017Not much to say here. The game is amazing. Diversity, decent plot, action rushing adrenaline, it has it all. Lot of content for a single player game that is based solely on the story.
-
Feb 5, 2020This could have been the best MGS series finale ever if Konami would have left Kojima do what he had in mind...
F**K KONAMI! -

Jul 20, 2020The most enjoyable MGS experience, also the last (probably) one..
It's sad that Konami didn't give Mr.Kojima complete creative freedom, especially over the final-missing-chapter , that every single fan to this day, is still mad about (including me). -
Jul 3, 2018Gran jugabilidad, bien hecho los mapas, pero perdió la esencia de un Metal Gear.
-
Apr 25, 2017The first half of the game was really good, it looked great, ran great, and played great, but the second half keeps the first two parts but completely forgets the 3rd. MGSV's not an awful game, but it could have been so much more.
-
Nov 5, 2019Lamentablemente por problemas de kojima y konami, este juego no alcanzó el potencial que podía, aún así el gameplay de este juego es de lo mejor que hay, sencillamente no me cansa después de estos años, tantas formas de hacer las cosas, todas muy divertidas, sencillamente super divertido de jugar.

Feb 9, 2018Pro. awesome game play and creativity bring the game to the top level.
Con. He broke with Konami leading to second half of the game recycling the same content. In my opinion is fine -

Aug 28, 2017Un mancato capolavoro assoluto dovuto alla lite tra il maestro e Konami , nonostante tutto un gioco con un gameplay fantastico . Centinaia di ore di gioco senza mai annoiarsi grazie anche ad una trama stupenda tipica dei Metal Gear

Nov 2, 2017Absolutely loved this chapter. It made me laugh, made me sad, made me angry - it's just really emotionally twisting. Besides the awesome story this game offers, the gameplay is absolutely great. A serious and timeless game with a touch of humor here and there.

Dec 19, 2017This game is almost masterpiece. Best game of 2015 and you cant argue with that. Simply the best story provides meaningful dialogs and very interesting gameplay variations
-
Dec 18, 2017Metal Gear Solid is probably my favorite franchise and this game has been a long time coming. Despite me putting in over a 100 hours and loving it, MGSV barely feels like a Metal Gear game. But if you take it for what it is and not what you wanted it be, there is a lot of open world action game content to be had here.
-
Apr 10, 2018Being a long time MGS fan, all I can say about this game is that even though it's the weakest installment of the series, it delivers a great story, great mechanics and is an overall interesting experience considering the pressure that the creators and developers were under while in the making.
-
Apr 23, 2018Great graphics, great port to PC, wildly repetitive, but extremely entertaining. Some of Kojimi's best work to date for MGS fans. Great game, but far from perfect, but hey, what game is?

Jan 9, 2019There are many things you can say about this game; but the word that constantly rings in my brains is : UNIQUE.
I find it to be the best stealth game I ever played; and the first one that I unquestionably, fully enjoyed!
It has its dragging quirks, It's not perfect...but the cascade of creativity invested just outweights everything that can be perceived as drawback -

Mar 15, 2019It could have been a great open world game, but, unfortunately, fate went the other way, and it’s very sad that we only got a part of this game.

Apr 26, 2019Open world Stealth game. Dreams come true
With the level of details only Kojima can think of you'll get best sandbox not only for sneaky players but also for these who want to blow everythng up -
Jun 3, 2019a great game, allot of content gameplay wise.
but pretty much half the story is missing/cut.
the game feels incomplete and the missing scenes on the collectors disc proves that.
still a good game if you want to do some infiltration gameplay and build/manage your motherbase. -

Aug 12, 2019It isn’t easy to assign this evaluation to MGS V.
But, even if the game is playable, with a good plot, it has the biggest problem a game can ever have: it isn’t complete.
This is clearly an unfinished project. I read it was planned to be 5 chapters long: it can’t even conclude the 2nd with a proper ending.
A game which could be a masterpiece, ruined like this. Pathetic -

Oct 8, 2015Metal Gear Solid V is amazing at times, and I enjoyed playing it, but there are so many embarrassing blunders and contradictions. Rich tactical gameplay vs an almost dead world. Fun HQ management and interesting characters vs an unfinished narrative and boring side quests. In some regards, this is a huge step back from previous Metal Gear games.
