    Despite the backlash from fans decrying that Metal Gear Survive isn't a true Metal Gear game, what's available in this $40 package is a hundred-plus hours of one of the most polished survival games to ever make it onto consoles.

    Metal Gear Survive's greatest strength is that it offers many ways to play. Its survival gameplay creates a lot of freedom and variety, but sadly the unsteady co-op experience greatly limits the game's appeal. The story is underwhelming, and the game's overall balance has some problems.

    When it was first announced by Konami and revealed to have not only a survival focus but (gasp!) zombies, a lot of folks, myself included, rolled their eyes at the idea. But after playing and completing Metal Gear Survive, it won me over. It’s an enjoyable, bizarre and flawed creation, and I’m glad it exists.

    Not your typical Metal Gear, but a bold move for the series. Great controls and visuals, bur the survival aspect is not unique and will not appeal to all fans.

    The worst part of Metal Gear Survive is its opening hours.

    Metal Gear Survive is a good idea that finds itself crippled by an overwhelming mob of bad ideas. It’s interesting but ultimately handicapped by a ruthless application of unnecessarily brutal constraints that serves to diminish what should have been a fascinating spin-off.

    Bland and mediocre gameplay. Ludicrous hunger and thirst meters which made this game practically unplayable, not to mention the “always online” feature, are what’s making this game a great candidate to avoid.

For anyone that's played TPP, MGO3, and actually has enough brainpower to understand that Hideo Kojima did NOT single-handedly create the previous MGS games, you'll absolutely enjoy it. The game is a "horror" version of Metal Gear, with nanomachine zombies. (Yes, the idea that Kojima himself had for a MG spin-off. Let that sink in, fanboys.) The gameplay takes inspiration from MGS3 (Survival elements such as eating wildlife you hunt and having to treat your injuries with medical supplies), and Peace Walker (goofy looking CQC and animations in general). The soundtrack is phenomenal. It sounds much, MUCH closer to the classic MGS style of music. Not that crap from TPP.

    Can't wait to see Death Stranding gameplay. (a.k.a., Metal Gear Survive 2.) I wonder what people will say about that, even if it looks the same as Metal Gear Survive..    … Expand

    I have never liked a game so much that is so hated on lol. I’m of the age I been around since the first metal gear games. I 100% respect andI have never liked a game so much that is so hated on lol. I’m of the age I been around since the first metal gear games. I 100% respect and understand a loyal fan base and understand people being upset. If this game was called anything else imo it would be looked at in a complete different light. It’s just not metal gear to the core fans and that a bummer as they deserve the best from life as fan

    I’m just a casual gamer and don’t know nothing nor have deep ties I just like what I like

    The game is fun. I haven’t spent 1cent in microtransactions. The begin is a little to harsh getting start and base going. but that is survival :p A few hours into it hunger and water is not an issue and you start to catch a survival flow. Co op with friends is a blast! The grind is great and rewarding. Story is ehhh..

    If you on fence go rent it maybe . Decide for yourself in the end.    … Expand

    This is not the worst game, however it is a really bad one. $10 for a save slot should really tell us how bad the game is, however that is notThis is not the worst game, however it is a really bad one. $10 for a save slot should really tell us how bad the game is, however that is not all. It is a generic zombie survival open world game in a time where we have battle royale games. PUBG and Fortnite is certainly way better. So what do we get for the base game. Something that should be worth nothing pretty much. You have repetitive and boring gamplay, AI from a 2003 PS2 game, an awful ending, a story that jumps the shark. Most insultingly we are treated like idiots due to the slow speech we are given from the robots in the game. What are we three years old? Cutscenes are cheap and the game is just a bad mod for Metal Gear Solid V. It doesn't look outright ugly and the base defense can be fun but the fact that it has dust and dirt for an open world and nothing more diverse than that. How did we drop so low Konami, you are on a path for bankruptcy. Anyways that is why I give it a 3/10, hope this review was useful in some way.… Expand

    Konami ruined the best thing they had going for it. If Kojima says he needs more money and more time, you give him more money and more time.
