    I can't even express in words how much you should avoid this game. If someone offers you the choice of this game or some horrific venereal disease, take the disease. Metal Gear Survive is everything you don't want in a game. It's a terrible spin-off with microtransactions, pay2win boosters, hell they even charge you for extra f**king save files!

    They should rename this Metal Gear AVOID!

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: 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.

    If Konami wanted to kill the Metal Gear Solid franchise they did a fantastic job. Almost masterfull. Hell they did it. Great work Konami.

    As someone eloquently put it on a Steam review for this game, this breaks down in to "Poke at enemies through a chain link fence Simulator". That is, if you aren't dealing with cheap deaths and nanomanaging food, water and oxygen (the first two items deplete way too fast and you are left scavenging for gerbils(!) for food and dealing with the consequences of drinking dirty water (good luck with dealing with that infection if/when you run out of antibiotics and you do not have access to an advanced medical station, all because you need an advanced cooking station to turn dirty water in to clean water and you don't get that soon enough.

    First, at the beginning of the game, the mother base who get took is the one from ground zero not one of the Diamond dogs cause they don't exist at this point. Infinite tutorial with almost the same mechanic than MGS5, not an interesting story, sump enemy ai that doesn't attack you until there

And still, some unnecessary microtransaction for everything, like a new save or resources to upgrade your base.

    Don't waste your money on that game, it feels more like an after game MGS5 DLC that never should have been released in the first place.

    There is already a better called all the game from the MGS franchise who have been made by Kojima.

    The dialogues with the AI are irritatingly boring, forcing the player to press a button after every line of dialogue. Bland voice-acting and uninteresting, one-dimensional characters.

    All that I could forgive. What I CANNOT forgive is when I'm playing the game, exploring and investing time into the game and I get a message saying that the server can't be reached, and the game is returning to main menu. And then that I can't start the game because it failed to log in to the server.

    This is an unforgivable abomination in a single-player playthrough that should not exist.

Like how do you take something that is praised so highly for its attention to plot, and makes a zombie survival spinoff of that? What f*ckin dude was like "yea what if we turn the game about corporate tactical espionage into a zombie game because everyone loves zombies 8 years ago.

    Also, there is the option to buy an extra save file for $10. Like 10 real life dollars. You know, the game feature that has been present in games since like the late 1990's. Next game you have to pay $15 for the options menu.

    El juego es muy repetitivo, solo tienes que hacer la misma cosa una y otra vez, la historia no es interesante para nada, solo intentaron ligarla a phantom pain, pero no agrega nada interesante ni nada que no se sepa.
    No lo recomiendo para nada, es más divertido hacer las misiones secundarias aburridas de Phantom Pain que este juego. No vale el dinero que te cuesta además de que para jugarlo tienes que tener PS Plus, es un gasto más extra.

    I didn't thought that this was possible, but Konami made a game that is way worse than Star Wars Battlefront 2.

    This deserves an award for being the biggest scam of the year.

    "Innovation! That's what Kojima wanted, right? Amazing idea Jimmy"

    "So yeah we can like build a base, and you're going to spend a lot of the game trying to find food and water and stuff because it's a... it's a wooooooo scary place with uhh dust and old buildings and no food and no water and stuff."

    Guess the war is now officially on between developers and gamers. We hould all stand strong in solidarity against games that decide to implement various fees for saves, lootboxes, in-game currency, etc.

    If the games aren't making enough money, then devs should raise the retail price and/or sell skins and other cosmetic items in game, and/or use a subscription service that the consumer is well aware of before purchase. Blizzard has been using this system successfully for years.

    All these new added fees are ridiculous. If I buy a game, I expect to be able to use it unreservedly, and without having to spend more to unlock certain parts of it that are hiding behind a pay-wall.

    So for now, no more Konami games for me. At all.

    I'll also be boycotting EA games (ultimate team add-ons tied in to in-game trophies; as well as the Battlefront 2 lootbox debacle) and also Capcom based on Street Fighter 5, which I bought incomplete on release and which tried to sell me the characters that should be in the game.

    I hope I don't have to add Rockstar to the list. But they're walking a very thin line with this whole GTA V online currency situation.

    The point is that if we keep buying, they will keep using these ridiculous stratagems to get our money, instead of working hard to make more games that we could buy. I mean, who could blame them? If we're dumb enough to give them our money, they'd be crazy not to take it!

    You have to pay 10$ to have an extra save file, it's like konami isn't even trying to save face after the Kojima debacle, it's admirable that they are actively trying to be the worst company in the gaming industry. You know you're doing something wrong when you make EA look like saints in comparison.

Nothing is gained by playing it over other zombie related games so unless you really hate your own money never touch this money making scheme; basic game mechanics such as save files and weapon loadouts are locked behind microtransactions. I would give this a 2 or so because it is a half playable zombie game but the practices and other atrocities Konami has been pulling make it incredibly unlikable and unrecomendable.
    TL;DR Its a dreadful zombie game with MGS Phantom Pain assets just slapped in with little regard. Don't play it even if your life depends on it; death is a better alternative and Konami does not deserve your money.

    I created this Metacritic account just to review this flaming piece of garbage that Konami has thrown at us.

It's official, the Metal Gear Solid franchise is now DEAD and this game is the final nail in the coffin. Instead of getting a much needed conclusion to The Phantom Pain or even a reboot of the original Metal Gears, Konami decides to pull this stunt as a HUGE slap in the face to Kojima and MGS fans.

    This atrocity of a game is a strange tower-defense/Resident Evil hybrid with the Metal Gear name slapped on it. The beta was painful enough to endure and I absolutely refuse to devote any time or money to such an obvious cash grab. Not to mention the stupidly awkward gameplay mechanics, pointless objectives, and meaningless story that has almost zero connection to The Phantom Pain along with NONE of the major characters from that game either. They literally just copy-&-pasted the Afghanistan environment from MGSV which is pathetically lazy and cheap. Zombies are becoming such a tired and cliche concept so of course Konami decided to go down this route, forever tainting this landmark game franchise. Anyone who grew up playing MGS should be utterly appalled and disgusted by this shameless attempt for mass-marketing appeal.

    To make matters even worse, you have to pay for extra save slots, the game is filled with micro-transactions, and you have to be online at ALL times to even play the game. This is only adding insult to injury, plus it makes it that much more obvious that they only designed this game to suck as much money out of their consumers as possible. If the game wasn't already bad enough then this was definitely the icing on the cake.

    Metal Gear Solid did not need to become like Call of Duty, but I guess the big wigs at Konami decided they needed to milk this franchise while simultaneously destroying it. What's next, Metal Gear Dance Revolution? How much more embarassing can it get? I truly hate Konami for pumping out this piece of crap game, and I'll be saving my money for Kojima's next game Death Stranding which will be BRILLIANT and a million times better than this waste of data.

    This game is the product of Konami actually trying to make a game in the modern generation. It's just a big mess that isn't fun to play through. Shooting the crystal zombies isn't fun, and neither is doing anything else to them.

No Snake (I'm guessing because they couldn't afford to get Kiefer Sutherland again), No actual sneaking (Unless you count crouch walking around crystal zombies.) No memorable bosses, in fact this gamed only appears to be a Metal Gear game in name only, and due to the fact that they just kinda lazily re-used the Afghanistan map from MGSV. Everything about the actual game is just a boring squad multiplayer where you kill Zombies. It makes one wonder why this is even called "Metal Gear Survive" instead of making a new IP. Hmmm.... It's almost as if Konami made a cheap cash grab based on what they thought would appeal to gamers and just slapped the Metal Gear name on it for brand recognition + guaranteed sales. But Konami would Nevvvver do that, would they ? Expand

    This game is god awful. This isn't Metal Gear any more than Fortnight's original game mode is. It's just a bunch of reused assets from MGSV in a tower defence mode. What's worse is the fact that they somehow managed to make the Fox Engine feel clunky, not to mention the horrid UI. Do yourself a favor and save your money. This one's not even worth a sale, and the coop doesn't save it.

    Voice acting feels shallow where did the real stealth go? bad story bad voice acting bad graphics overall a bad attempt. This is purely made for people who want to torture others.

    "Metal Gear" Survive is basically a "Copy Paste" of MGS V in terms of gameplay and graphics, a really repetitive game, it`s really high-priced for what it is and its just a cashgrab for Konami. This game looks like a mod made by a fan in MGS V. Really disappointed with what Konami did to the Metal Gear Series. Metal Gear without Kojima isn t Metal Gear.

    Is Metal Gear Survive worth it? Oh yeah, totally. Game of the Year. Honestly, I don’t know why you haven’t bought it yet! Death Stranding won’t be able to compete with this. Sarcasm aside, don’t buy this game, just don’t. Yeah, the environments and visuals are kind of neato and the feeling of helplessness certainly comes across, but it’s just a clusterf**k.

    The whole existence of Metal Gear Survive closely resembles this of the Wanderers – the game’s zombies. With the story, characters and wit ripped out completely off it’s body, what remains is a lifeless yet standing shell of Metal Gear Solid V. The decent (and borrowed) survival mechanics barely keep this husk walking around aimlessly with no purpose whatsoever. Survive may not be a bad survival game, but the merciless grind required and lack of respect for gamers’ time are inexcusable.
