    MGS V has everything an action stealth game needs. It's like playing a good political thriller. Kojima was the beating heart of Konami. Overall rating: 9.0.

    Best stealth game ever. The game gives you so many possibilities how to clear outposts, different ways to deal with enemies and their technics. A lot of weapons and instruments. At someday enemies start to adapt to your style, so you start looking for more ways of taking them down. Also mgsv has interesting plot(especially for those who played previous games), pretty good soundtrack, andBest stealth game ever.

    The game is sooo long and it is something enjoyable, only if there were more missions and more maps or expansions, it would be better so that it can be enjoyed forever, besides being the last game where Kojima worked since Konami fired him. But I have loved this game since I first played it.

    This game is arguably one of the greatest video games of all time. The fox engine made the game look beautiful, and the new mechanics made everything so much smoother and more fun to play. The open world was a great idea for a game like this. There are many places to infiltrate with different sizes and area types (camps, oil refineries, fortresses, other player's bases, etc).

There are many places to infiltrate with different sizes and area types (camps, oil refineries, fortresses, other player's bases, etc). The story is not the best when compared to other metal gear games, but it's not as bad as some people may say. You can approach the missions in any way you want due to the open world. Stealthy, guns blazing, air strikes then move in, basically anything you can think of. the mother base building mechanic is really well made, and the same goes with the FOB invasions, where you can attack a base belonging to another player, or defend yours. The online game mode is really well designed, and is really fun to play. This game may have not been fully completed, but it is still a great game for me.… Expand

    A great stealth combat game, made irrelevant by the absence of any reason to get involved in the game.

    It's a very good game I was played in Xbox Series S for like a 150 hours, No it's a game for all the publics the best option is to try the game and if you enjoy the game fine because the game have a very detail mecanics of gameplay and maybe no it's for all the publics, if you was played another game of the Metal Gear Solid saga and you liked it that game it's perfect for you, it's the last game of the saga and the game was maked with love, Perfect characters, Perfect Mechanics of gameplay , Perfect Story and basically Perfect but there is one thing i didn't like missions can become repetitive, This game is really made for fans of the saga and I would recommend that if it is the first time you are going to play a Metal Gear Solid you start with someone else I would recommend 3 or 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:

    - The amount of content in the game is pleasantly surprising for a shooter.

    - The stealth in the game is inventive. There are many different approaches which can be taken in assaulting an area. from guns blazing, to non-fatal, to extracting everyone and everything.

    - The story is a continuation from Ground Zeroes and the previous Metal Gear games. It adds depth to already established characters such as Ocelot and Liquid Snake.

    - The FOB multiplayer implemented is surprisingly good. For a campaign focused single-player game, the FOB Assault multiplayer is impressive. It uses soldiers and defenses you've captured / researched from singleplayer and implements a style similar to the game 'Meet Your Maker'.

    - It feels like it does a good job of encapsulating major concerns during the cold war without being overly political. From nuclear threats, to chemical warfare, to mercenaries in Africa, to technological warfare.

    Cons:

    The ending did feel sudden and unfinished, mainly (from what i've heard) because it was. The plan was to have another mission which resolved the Eli / Pyscho Mantis arc but unfortunately this was not finalised.    … Expand

    With The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear has had its arm removed and replaced with something technically far more impressive.

    Kojima managed to create the perfect open-world stealth game, giving the player an incredible freedom coupled with great depth and variety. MGS fans will probably dislike its sparse and somewhat unsatisfying storytelling, but it undoubtedly is a masterwork of game design.

    Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain is an interactive piece of art that truly pays homage to the original game and successfully expands the franchise into an open-world game.
