Gameplay – 4 out of 5 stars
The Metal Gear game with the best gameplay, and with the most possibilities even though some aren’t that useful.
Graphics – 4 out of 5 stars
Game looks clean. Although, it clearly shows its crossgen roots. Not the best looking game.
Sound – 4 out of 5 stars
A lot of tracks from the 80s and a nice sound ambiance.
Length – 4 outs of 5 stars
A long playthrough (more than 40 hours) but one that can be tedious at times.
A rich gameplay but also some tedious missions, a plot which promises so much and delivers so few, MGSV is as impressive as it leaves you unsatisfied. A good game, but one difficult to understand. Could it be Kojima’s last mystery?
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released on PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One and PC on September 1st.
