    The Phantom Pain is the kind of game I thought would never exist - one where every minute gameplay detail has true purpose. Its lack of story focus is sure to be divisive for the Metal Gear faithful, but the resulting emphasis on my story, my tales of Espionage Action, easily make it my favorite in the series.

    The new Metal Gear Online is a satisfying online romp based on the singularly best game mechanics the MGS series has ever seen, as experienced in MGS5. One only wishes to see the same level of variation in maps and game modes as in the extensive character customization. [Nov 2015]

    We are far from the tactical gameplay of the old Metal Gear Online games, since the new gameplay is definitely simpler and more action oriented. It still has quite a lot of potential, but some unbalancing and questionable choices keep it from being as good as it could.
