    It is definitely for everyone, just like every Kojima game, but it is a different kind of Metal Gear and very fun to play and develop your abilities and squad. Great bang for your buck!

    Unparallelled espionage excellence

    The only bad thing I could think of is that the story takes more of backseat compared to other Metal Gear games, what you get instead is the best gameplay in the stealth genre.

    great gameplay and story, just that the story was not presented right. It was too cut up and too many tapes you have to listen in the game and they cut out the last mission 51.

    Not what I was expecting.

    I've played every single game in the MG/MGS series and this was by far the worst one. The game is an extreme grindfest. Meaning for 50 missions, you're doing the same thing over and over again. Go here and rescue a hostage. Go there and kill the general. Rinse and repeat. It doesn't help that all the set pieces look the same and you'll actually be revisiting the same set pieces throughout the game. Bosses are recycled throughout the game as well. It felt like a complete chore to finish this game. I'm forcing myself to beat the game and am hoping it'll be over soon. All the other MGS games were a blast and the stories really kept you into the game. This game, is a complete struggle to finish. It's like being in a giant pizza eating competition and you're struggling and forcing yourself to finish the last couple of slices. The multiplayer aspect is pretty fun though.

    It's metal gear

    Although I prefer the linear metal gear style of playing, the open world was great. Hideo kojimas greatest game so far and puts the end to the metal gear solid story.

    I have been a fan of metal gear for a long time and this game is fantastic. Although the story is a little on the weak side, the gameplay makes up for the soft story

    Great Game, Bad Ending

    Great game with a lot of gameplay (somewhat repetitive), but the ending just kind of happens without any real resolution or tie in to other MGS games.

    Standard Metal Gear

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game is fun, if you like Metal Gear. I don't see where it's the best action game ever however, like I've read in a few places. The open world is great, and the stealth gameplay is fun. The story is as convoluted and cheesy as ever, but with Metal Gear it's the gameplay you want.

    Beautiful cinematography, creative gameplay and immersive storyline. Great game. Haven't even tried multiplayer yet but I hear it's just as good.

    Best metal gear in the series, actually had to buy the game again because my dog decided to chew up the game, maybe he was telling me something?

    Metal Gear games are always great, and this game is no exception. While I do mot recommend this game for younger players due to the subject matter amd difficulty, the game is both fun and addictive, keeping you entertained over long periods of time. The second half is not nearly as good as the first, but MGSV is a great game for the now low price point.

    Not enough story

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The gameplay was phenomenal, but there's not enough story to make you care about the characters. Quiet as a character seems to be in the game only to sell units and toys, not to add anything. It's almost creepy. Great game, but just needed more cutscenes for me to care.

    Best gameplay in a Metal Gear yet

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    By far this is the best Metal Gear game to play. Story wise it is a bit disappointing. You can tell a good chunk was cut out of the game and right when the game gets really really good, it just ends. It could of been one of the best games made of all time.

    A Solid Game

    Gameplay wise MGSV was fun. The story is where it lags. The plot wasn't very interesting and Big Boss wasn't that interesting of a protagonist. Graphically it looks amazing and being able to tackle every mission your way is good fun.

    The missing link of the story. This game is a must purchase for those invested in the metal gear franchise.
