A wonderful introduction to Metal Gear Solid 5.

Review: Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes (PS4) review

Set in a Guantanamo-style US black site (where, we presume, Uncle Sam tickles people until it gets the info it needs) the open play area lends itself well to demoing the key new mechanics of the game: Far Cry 3-style binocular-based enemy tagging being the most obvious change. The setting also lends itself well to repeated playthroughs. Comparisons to MGS2's Tanker section are unfounded: that was essentially linear, whereas here you have the freedom to approach your goal - rescue two POWs- in a number of ways.

In essence, it feels like a mission from an old Hitman game....
