    Disgusting micro transactions, enough said. 10 bucks just to unlock a save slot, disgusting.

    This game is just boring. Hitting zombies with a stick over and over again is not fun. The only enjoyment I got out of this game was turning it off.

    Not much else to say. Just trying to reach 75 characters.

    This game is just Konami trying to get profit and overall try to make a Metal Gear game without Kojima. Both have failed, but don't worry, Konami will never give up on digging their grave deeper and we might even see some more failed attempts of games in the future. Remember Silent Hill? We're all doomed.

    Congratulations! This game has done what no other game has made me do, create a Metacritic account! Where do I start? Cash-grab? $10 save slots?

    There is a micro-transactions in this paid game. Avoid like a plague.

    Your review must be at least 75 characters long.

    I'll keep this short and to the point. This is nothing more than a shameless cash grab while using the Metal Gear name as an eye-catcher, avoid this absolute mess of a game unless you love being paywalled behind almost everything relevant in the game, almost EVERYTHING costs real money in this game.

    This game has nothing to do with Metal Gear other than the name and it is shoehorned into the world of Metal Gear. You get one out of 4 character slots, and each of the other 3 slots costs 10 dollars...yes, 10 dollars PER slot! You also get teams to get you rare items from scavaging missions, but you get one out of 6, and each locked slot is ALSO 10 dollars!!! The grind for items isThis game has nothing to do with Metal Gear other than the name and it is shoehorned into the world of Metal Gear.

    We may never get another legitimate metal gear game because of what konami have done, they get a 0 for even attempting to continue the property they killed. I'll always miss the real metal gear solid.

    utter **** , literally the worst thing that could have happened to a metal gear franchise .
    the game play is a mix of tedious unbalanced "surviving" boosted by the most repetitive annoying AI voice ever , ur stamina is non existing , the assets are MGV identical , the world is empty .
    for short it's a zombie mod for MGV sold separately for 40$ but if u need more save slots u need 10$ ,

    the life of the game should be a good thing but for this game every little thing consume more time than making it in real life literally !
    it's hellishly boring combat and even the animation for the spear is **** and it's the same from the first strike to the billionth , poke to the head , poke to the head , poke to the head , loot for 20 sec for every **** corps , run, ur stamina is too low , run , ur stamina is too low , run , ur stamina is too low , put a fence , poke , poke , poke , ur hungry , ur thirsty , ur hungry , ur thirsty , poke , poke , the fence starting to break , put another one instantly , poke , poke , wonder why the **** u baught the game for 40$, weep for MG franchise , throw the **** game in the trash.
    balance: 0/10 too **** ez
    AI : 0/10 utter dumb enemies
    Story : 0/10 what story ? the trailer is the story
    game life : 10/10 if u want to just grind , if u mean u want to experience everything the games have to give u ? oh then 2 minutes 0/10
    fun : 0/10 obviously
    mechanics : besides the original MGV mechanics everything new is utterly **** animations, attacks
    i would love to give it +1 just coz it's MG themed and i love(d) the serie but it has micro transactions way too overboard -1
    it's like skyrim survival modders told u to buy the mod for 40$ + micro transactions but without the skyrim main game sooo yeah good **** konami good **** , ur lucky u have other IPs to milk otherwise u would beg for kojima's SNAKE if u know what i mean , u made an actual intellectual property to nonintellectual property . cant wait for Death Stranding u pachinko whoring , ip milking , of a company , i can't even get a refund and nobody want to buy this **** even on ebay , feels bad man

    This is the worst game I've ever played. Period. Unlike Metal Gear 5, each mission plays in one way: going behind a fence and beating the zombies to death. They fired the guy who made Metal Gear 5, then made this garbage. This is a slap in the face to Kojima. They used the fox engine. Slap a new map and make it an annual franchise and the games will be mediocre at best. This game isn'tThis is the worst game I've ever played. Period.

This is a slap in the face to Kojima. They used the fox engine. Slap a new map and make it an annual franchise and the games will be mediocre at best. This game isn't even mediocre, it's straight up garbage. The guy you play as dies and 2 hits and has practically no stamina. The zombies are basically invincible and whenever you find anything cool the fun ends after 2 minutes because it breaks so easily. Your base is so far away and your only signal to where it is is your map. Half the time the map is covered with fog making it so you can't see the waypoint! The food is far away from the base and you can't eat it when you get it. You have to walk back to your base. I could go on and on about this disgusting game but I'm wasting my time as it is. Expand

    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.

    Somewhat cynical and clearly a little low budget, it isn't always easy to pull for Survive. Thankfully, some of the best wave combat on PS4 saves the day. [Apr 2018, p.91]

    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.
