Call me crazy..but I think this game was made by some sexy beast named Hideo Kojima.
The story takes place after the events of Ground Zeroes, 9 years to be precise as your main character Punished "Venom" Snake has been in a coma and is now on a hell driven odyssey to get his revenge.
So gameplay wise, you go on a series of missions accessing via iDroid in which Snake will do mainly extraction or assassination missions all which is at your expense of how you play the game, you can either go in guns blazing and get killed within seconds or you can go in and be the silent hero and sneak past guards, enemy mechs, snipers, the whole mile with a whole arsenal of weapons that you can put people to sleep with darts or destroy everyone with a RPG. The enemy AI is well improved as it will take skill to get passed.
You can also call on your allies to even distract some of the attention caused like helicopters, your animal or human companions to even help. If you are also new to the MGS series, do not worry because if you fail the missions a few times which of course I did on a few, you will get a Chicken Hat that either reduces the enemies spot target to half or even the baby chicken hat which basically makes you a ghost through the missions.
Plenty of other side op missions to do as well, you can also you can of course upgrade your weapons, tools, base in which you can control teams and send them on missions to expand your base. Being open world as well you also get vehicles to traverse around Afghanistan's rocky deserts whether it will be by horseback, D-Walker, or other means of transportation.
Tons of great characters and a great line of voice actors that really made the character as Kiefer Sutherland this time plays Snake. Controls are smoothe and responsive when you play as Snake, only problem I had was on certain vehicles like the D-Walker where on those controls I felt like a ♥♥♥♥♥ trying to be stealthy as I was roller skating my way while bumping into obstacles trying to reach the next mission. Nothing serious there, but sometimes the controls can get frustrating when you are spotted and trying to hide again.
Musical score is beautiful, graphics are amazing, no reason to go into detail on that.
As always you guys, would I recommend it?
That is a definate yes, it's Metal Gear Solid! Go and buy it..like now!
Story is decent, classic and awesome characters, fun gameplay that will last hours on end because I have barely scratched the surface with this one as it provides so much more in game than what I could explain, I just had to throw in my opinion on this one.
Much Love, Much Recommendation
