   The idea of a survival zombie game in a delapitated alternate world mixed with Metal Gear Solid artstyle and gameplay was not appealing to meThe 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. Now after a few hours I am really enjoying this game. The gameplay and progression has a welcoming pace. 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. 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 like how you can mold this character that comes to life in the cinematics and story. Your ‘avatar’ grows as you play, learning skills and being able to play different classes. 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. It has a Breath or the Wild feel in those mechanics. You gather parts all over and build up your base as you see fit to defend yourself from different types of infected mutants. 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. 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. If you see it for what it is, I think you will enjoy what the developers have created here. 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. It’s also priced fairly for what it is. 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. I will update the review after I spend more time with it and get to play the online.… Expand

Mainly as it would give me the opportunity of going back to the MGS universe using the FOX engine. The game is a wild departure from the usual metal gear that we have come to expect. They basically took all the phantom pain content and reworked it into a day-z style survival game with elements of base defence. The game starts off badly with too much enjoyment taken away by the fact that you're constantly having to eat and drink all the time. Stamina also decreases ridiculously quickly. However after a few missions you get into the hang of the whole gathering cycle and it becomes a bit more fun. The story is pretty meh, which lets everything down. The characters are basically a bunch of NPCs that look after your base whilst you're out on missions. The enemies are pretty dumb, though half way through the game they suddenly throw a lot more difficult enemies at you. Overall it's an ok game if you like crafting and metal hear, but overall I just which they'd taken all the stuff was unfinished from phantom pain and completed it. I read there was another chapter and entire maps that got left out. They would have been better off finishing those.… Expand

   Konami has time and time again **** on their best franchises. These **** heads even put out this piece of **** to spit on Kojima's legacy.

   Just a cash grab, and a soulless one at that. People ought to spend their money elsewhere

This isn't Metal Gear any more than Fortnight's original game mode is. It's just a bunch of reused assets from MGSV in a tower defence mode. What's worse is the fact that they somehow managed to make the Fox Engine feel clunky, not to mention the horrid UI. Do yourself a favor and save your money. This one's not even worth a sale, and the coop doesn't save it.… Expand
