"Kept you waiting, huh?"
"You're pretty good!"

Metal Gear solid, the quirky sexy confusing tactical espionage action series that refuses to end, is back with some of its smoothest and most versatile gameplay yet. This is the kind of action game where a tranquilizer gun, synthetic arm, extraction balloons, and even a water pistol are some of your most powerful weapons. Prepare to be sneaky, to laugh, to question what in the "!" Is going on in the story. Coming from an already convoluted plot line, this chapter brings the Metal Gear series full circle while creating plenty of its own plot holes! Many people consider this game unfinished, as it feels like there was supposed to be more. However, there is plenty of content to go around and I sank around 140 hours into the single player alone. Every Metal Gear fan should play this game. Series newcomers should at least play MGS3: Snake Eater, MGS: Peace Walker, and MGSV: Ground Zeroes before playing this title, but even that won't give you a full picture of what's going on in the story. Otherwise, the gameplay alone is enough to make this title worthwhile and you can expect a very well optimized PC experience!

Looking for a challenge? The rest of my logged hours have gone into Metal Gear Online 3, the multiplayer aspect of this game. All of the hilarity of tricking your enemies and knocking them out except against deadly human players. It's frustrating at first, but a lot of fun when you get a feel for the game and have a good team going. Multiplayer is still being updated weekly, so expect some bugs here and there, but it's definitely worth checking out. I'd love to tranquilize you in the face sometime!
