This is not your traditional metal gear it sucks don’t like it would recommend it at all

This is the worst Metal gear ever! They gave solid snake a bad name.

What happened? Game is just repetitive and not fun at all.

Silent Hill meets Metal Gear... done WRONG!!! lmao

I've had this game since launch and am, overall, pleased with it. I'm always finding things to accomplish even though the developers keep adding stuff to do and improving aspects of the game. The first two or three hours are pretty stressful because you're just now learning to play the game, but the impacts of starvation and thirst are always present. I kept thinking about how it is to play Fallout 3 or New Vegas on the harder difficulty levels where you can die of thirst or hunger...yet this game starts out that way with no changes to the difficulty. Luckily, only the first few hours are like that. Then you learn to clean your water and cook food. Survival after that is a lot easier. From that point it's all about building your presence in the game by rescuing survivors and building up your resources. The game, in ways, performs better than MGSV did. I was able to see certain improvements in the FOX Engine's implementation in this game compared to MGSV. In MGSV, the game had limitations imposed on it so that it would work on last generation consoles as well as on current generation consoles. MG:S has no such limitations and, with a keen eye and attention to detail, you can see those differences. I look forward to how this game will mature over time. It's only just now out and I'm already pleased. Now I need to see how it holds up in 6 months.

First, stop comparing to previous Metal Gear series games. SPOILER ALERT - outside of opener, the core of game thus far is around survival and building, so go in with open mind. Kojima was not here and appreciative as I am of the series with him at the helm, this game is still standalone good. The single player experience is a graphically pleasing combo of 'State of Decay', '7 Days to Die' and 'How to Survive' with a little 'Don't Starve' flavor, and, wait for it, the stealth and sound effects of METAL GEARRRRR. Who knew? Your health is based upon food and water consumption, protection from creatures,...sounds like basic needs. In itself, I'm enjoying the different feeling to it. It is for thinking not rampant running around and I appreciate the challenge that it presents. Though I still need aluminum for building my cooking pot without conversion, GAME!!! Ahem, and I'm back. Collect materials, eat, drink, avoid enemies, survive. It borrows from the Metal Gear name but its not centered in that universe and there are no readily recognizable locations, at least so far, as you are in a separate dimension. I expected closer to Horde mode from 'Gears of War' series for PVE. It is still relatable to that and enjoyable tower defense. You and others are tasked with protecting an area from the enemies for a time limit/objective reached. Pace is accelerated but not uncomfortably so. Also, the multiplayer allows for quick ramp up of inventory to utilize in single player. I did not purchase any microtransactions and so cannot comment on how needed those are at this point in the game. Don't be a gamer who does a lemming i.e. follows along with poopooing a game. Also, it is clear now that I have put in hours on the game that the overwhelming reviews from major outlets did little more than the first 30 minutes (yes, the tutorial is a long one, but very helpful IMO). The game does not even showcase what it could be until toward the end of the tutorial. The access to teleporters greatly improves the gaming experience, which could be slow. But any open world where one is walking/running is slow. My long conclusion is that this is a game taken on its merits. So stop looking for Ocelot, Solid Snake, Big Boss (shows up during the opener though) and focus on SURVIVING. And for those who would review and complain about the slowness, I dare say that one would not survive in an unknown landscape with one bottle of clean water when its hot and no food and RUN AROUND. That is just foolishness! Stealth, forethought and continuation of the game. I encourage otherwise introverted people to play multiplayer Salvage missions. It is co-op (PVE not PVP) and the chance to get materials that you may not already have in the single player experience will also improve one's experience. Anyhoo, I am enjoying this game for its merits and open minded people who enjoy a challenge and progression may enjoy this game more than they think.

I have to admit, I went into this game with low expectations, but having played it I think it's pretty fun. If you like games where you collect items, build, and use those resources to level up then you'll like it! I'm a huge fan of the Metal Gear series, particularly MGSV and if you understand it's not meant to be a sequel and it's cut-scenes are nowhere near the perfection of Konjima's work, you'll enjoy it too! If you like MGSV and survival games, rent it and try it out before you buy. Don't give up on a game you may enjoy over a squabble that happened years ago...

I really am amazed at some of the reviews I've seen on here. This has out-right been one of the worst games I ever tried in my life. I'm just glad I rented it first before buying. In total I played this game for most of my Saturday and Sunday, all in all about 10 hours. This is not a good zombie game, this is not a good open world game, heck, it's FOR SURE not a good Metal Gear game. In fact, it's dishonest to call it metal gear because the only thing Metal or Gear about this is that it uses the same engine and assets from MGS5. This was the perfect example of a company just ordering some low level devs to re-arrange the previous game and limit it into a bad zombie game. To those saying to stop comparing it to other metal gear games, sorry but I will. If Konami is going to have the audacity to slap the series name on this junk, it will be compared. I'm not even talking about story at this point, I'm talking about mechanics and polish. This game does not hold itself to the same standard as other Metal Gear games have in the past. So the game overall is just bad. Bland zombie combat, boring environment, poor design, no story. That ends my review of JUST the game. If you want to know just that so be it, it's a 1 star through and through. But I think it is important for consumers to know about business practices as well to also know not to support companies like Konami. To those unaware, the Metal Gear series has for years (back to the 90s) been a shining beacon of amazing game design and story. Each game has been heralded in it's time and still stands strong to this date. The creator of those games, Kojima, had always held the reigns tight on his products and made sure the utmost care and quality went into their creation. However, back in 2016, Konami abruptly decided to fire Kojima and take over his series for no reason. They have publicly announced that they no longer care for making games and instead want to shift their focus to Japanese Pachinko slot machine games. In my own opinion, they released this game to truly drive the series into the ground to close out and give reason to fire the rest of their game design developers, but that's just my theory and opinion. On top of that, they have the audacity to charge extra for usually-included game mechanics, such as extra save slots to have different characters in game. All in all, Konami is a business that no longer has the right to call itself a game business and deserves to fail for its practices. DO NOT SUPPORT THEM BY BUYING THIS

The Metal Gear Solid franchise has been around for many years but this game does not hold up to its standards. Controllers are clunky and gameplay is very repetitive. I played the demo and had this pre-ordered but decided to cancel it due to how boring it was. If you also look on YouTube videos of this game you will see how bad this game turned out to be. The creator "Hideo Kojima" leaving Konami may have been a bad idea. If you are a die-hard fan then I would pick up this game up otherwise if you are getting into the series I recommend you picking up "Metal Gear Solid 5" as this is a "Masterpiece".

Having to pay to save your game is kind of a deal-breaker. Having online only single player DRM is unacceptable. If you get a hiccup in your internet the game kicks you out.
