    This game is a pile of crap I would avoid stepping on even if I want to stomp it. Weak storyline, re-used graphics assets, weak characters that I don't care about, weak gameplay, weak music, online only and microtransaction galore. Why should I pay money for a save slot? Are you kidding me?!?!?

    Ok. They finally lost conscience.
    After they ask for money for the game, which is for the most part, done not well. They still ask for money for a slot of game saving. For additional party in game and etc. They specifically do so that there is more routine. And the usual things, without donate, took a long time. Even in a single.
    They even stretched out the cutscenes. It looks like this:    Ok. They finally lost conscience.

    They even stretched out the cutscenes. It looks like this: the main character is attacked by a monster. The hero stands and watches as the monster approaches, how he waves, how he attacks. Seconds are 10-15. I remind you, the main character is standing still. And so 10 times for the one cutscene.

    They want you to pay for an extra character save slot. You pay full price for this game and YOU MUST PAY FOR A SECOND SAVE GAME SLOT. If these guys and EA get together they could give birth to a child that kills gaming.

    So how do I put it... This game is a combination of zombie survival and tactical espionage engine FOX but It makes no sense to mix those two together.

Survival means there is not much ammo so they patch in a really basic and crude melee combat system that doesn't do any good, what's worse our character becomes hungry every 5-10 minutes and each time there is an annoying warning that pops up. Crafting and actually this whole game reminds me of game Dead Island just in TPP.
    Graphics - for FOX sake this is FOX engine it will look good right?
    Music and voice acting - same music, reused from previous games, voice acting (and writing) is horrible specially AIs are voiced terribly.
    Multiplayer - Tower Defense with zombies and 5 different maps. Repetitive. But if you liked Mass Effect 3 multiplayer (which I did) you might find it amusing for some time.

    Overall average/below average survival game that has no requirement in stealth whatsoever = 4/10
    BONUS POINTS
    - 2 for "10 dollars for another save slot" and other horrendous microtransactions
    - 1 for Metal Gear tag on it (seriously what the fox guys...?)

    All I can say about this "videogame" is that you'll have to pay another 10$ if you want to create 2 simultaneous characters, so you're paying for the game to acces your HDD. GG.

The game is mediocre when it comes to cutscenes, they made some kind of messenger dialog with cheesy voice acting to replace the well crafted cutscenes that is actually part of the Metal Gear series. I bet there was no mocap for this game and the very few cutscenes the game have where animated digitally only. There's no enemies variations, the AI is dumb as hell, the crafting is boring, and when the main character is hungry, you need to consume at least 5 goats. I don't know what to say, I just wanna cry, I mean it. The Metal Gear series is officially dead.… Expand

    At least Hideo Kojima can once and for all know in his mind, that Metal Gear Solid was a great series because of him and his team, and not of Konami the company. I've always wanted a game that locks additional saves files behind a pay wall. Said by no gamer, ever.

    Metal Gear Abortion - a cheap asset flip, game was made for the single purpose, microtransactions!.

    Almost everything is reused, story mode is a joke, no meaningful content (lack of game modes, enemie variation) - very repetitive overall, very bad UI/HUD and worse controls than MGSV.

    It feels like a overpriced fan made Mod for MGSV filled with MTX.

You need oxygen in this game? Seriously?? Where are you, in space? The gathering of resources is tedious and it takes forever to do. Basically no multiplayer whatsoever. But the thing that seriously screws this game to the legendary 0 point score is the 10 dollar save slot crap (along with other ridiculous loot boxes). This is a single player game that costs 40 bucks, while that would be a respectable price tag if no loot boxes or this 10 dollar save slot bs would be present it is just robbery at this point. The true price point of the game is 40+3*10 = 70 dollars and in addition to that you could buy additional micro transactions as well. Ridiculous. Anyone who says that this crap is worth it is a lying scumbag. If you brought it through steam: definitely demand a refund for it.… Expand

    I have not player the game.....and won't, because the Metal Gear franchise died with the departure of Kojima from Konami.

    Not only is this not a Metal Gear game, it is far from it. From what I have seen it is a "Metal Gear" game if the Fox engine and all of the assets from Phantom Pain was outsourced to a small company that did not care and cobbled together a monster, not a game.

    There's so much Konami could do with the Metal Gear franchise, and they decide to do some random survival game?! How about creating something new for MGSV? New content for MGO3? Remake the classics? Add online modes to the HD Collection? Nope, they created a game literally no one wanted instead. Epic business move there. What's next? MGS1 remake outsourced to Blizzard?

    Sinceramente a konami conseguiu de fato acabar com a franquia, com apenas um jogo, que não tem nada haver com com os antecessores, sendo que parece mais uma DLC, e ainda tiveram a incrível proeza de colocar o preço a um nível de AAA. Enfim MGS acabou no Phantom Pain.

    Played the beta and little under 2 hrs of the released game.
    It is extremely lazy. The map is just about identical to MGS V with tons of reused assets and extremely boring, stupid zombies(seriously they have some of the worst AI I've seen).

    I didn't really expect much more than this, but I expected just about nothing and was still let down further. MGS is dead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I giving it a 0 but actually Im thinking of a -6. Why because Konami gives a darn about videogames.

    The only thing that Konami cares is about gambling services and this is only a social experiment to consider to proceed. The moment when Knonami no longer cared about videogames anymore is when Konami fired Hideo Kojima most especifictly the CEO of the company.
    Silent Hills P.T. was in development and they cancelled it and Metal Gear V The phantom pain almost not got finished.
    The CEO stated at that time that he hated Kojima because was no making money and he taked long time to develop. He was also sabotaging last Metal Gear solid to not be finished. The most controversial statement was he mentioned he was only interested in Pachinko.
    So my question is why they keep developing videogames? They just want to follow EA Battlefront 2 bussiness plan. To make online gambling services,cheaply done just to make quick and easy profits.

    What Konami forgots as EA and other scum companies is that videogamers want videogames, not gambling services and we hate that stin-ky type of bussiness. That´s why their videogames department deserve to flop and continue on the Pachinko market exclusively.

    Only those who never played consoles before or got recently some gaming rig would get this lame excuse for a game. This is a piece of endless suc king su cker money with no more intentions than that and paying for a 2nd game slot is just the beginning.    … Expand

    2) Pay2Win? This game could be ok as freemium game with micro-transactions, but not as full-priced game. Small example: for a full price you will get only 1(!) character slot and if you want to create additional character you will have to pay about $10 for each additional slot. Not to mention that some features definitely give ingame advantages to continuously paying customers - not as bad as BF2 and it is just PvE related, but it does not affect after match rewards, but also in-game experience during match .

    3) If you are still reading this and consider to try this game - I highly recommend you to go for console version if possible. PC version is no more that a terrible lazy-made port from consoles - and this is the true reason why user scores for PC version are much lover than for PS4 of XBox versions is you compare.    … Expand

    If someone say "Aw how cute are MGS fans crying of this game, it's actually a fun game, try it once"
    I disagree, why? Then first, the way it's tower defense-like and zombie survival made it different from every previous games, the gameplay included micro-transactions made it totally worse, and third, gameplay is too limitedly with stamina mechanic.

    Survive rather than a full-featured Metal Gear reminds of a fanfiction, which wants to honour the series. Unfortunately, it gets repetitive very quickly and certainly does not take the right example from its predecessors. [Issue#284]

    The concept is solid, even if the characters can't deliver the tale appropriately. The sneaking and quick item construction elements slightly make up for a weak combat system that makes killing Wanderers a chore. The base-building and crafting is fine, but the other survival elements are overdone to the point of tedium. It isn't a great survival game, and it's not something that Metal Gear fans would flock to, making it a title that can be best described as niche.
