Having recently played the excellent phantom pain I was looking forward to this, despite the negative reviews. I will update the review after I spend more time with it and get to play the online. The only gripe I have so far is if you want to create a new avatar, you have to either delete your first one, log in as a different account, or buy a character slot for coins which I think (not sure) are only available via real money. This is not meant to be an important entry in the Metal Gear series, but instead a way to have fun with the world and mechanics in a different way and in that it succeeds. If you see it for what it is, I think you will enjoy what the developers have created here. I’m playing on the Xbox One X and the HDR and enhancements look great on the screen, I hope MGS5 Phantom Pain gets similar enhancements in a patch. There are daily, weekly and monthly challenges that net you different resources for unlocking content so you can log in daily for a short time and still progress. You gather parts all over and build up your base as you see fit to defend yourself from different types of infected mutants. It has a Breath or the Wild feel in those mechanics. In campaign, the survival part is realistic where you have to hunt for food and gather water, otherwise you can start losing health and stamina and eventually die. Your ‘avatar’ grows as you play, learning skills and being able to play different classes. I like how you can mold this character that comes to life in the cinematics and story. It’s nothing extravagant and is like a B horror film in some ways which is good because it knows it’s a spin off and doesn’t damage the Metal Gear brand. I bought it thinking it’s a “game-as-service” type game where you log in and do a match or two online but was surprised by the campaign content. The gameplay and progression has a welcoming pace.
Now after a few hours I am really enjoying this game. The idea of a survival zombie game in a delapitated alternate world mixed with Metal Gear Solid artstyle and gameplay was not appealing to me The idea of a survival zombie game in a delapitated alternate world mixed with Metal Gear Solid artstyle and gameplay was not appealing to me from the reveal trailer but after I saw a video of gameplay I was intrigued.
