Gary Marston writes: "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain isnt just another entry to Hideo Kojimas world-class canon; its an ambitious statement of a video game. A game which begins with David Bowies The Man Who Sold the World clearly exudes a certain amount of confidence and as the songs powerful lyrics begin to raise early themes of existentialism and humanity, players will get their long-awaited first glimpse of Kiefer Sutherlands Snake in action (upon second reading, I realise that sounds a bit like a euphemism). The song isnt just bog-standard contextualising filler either; it is one of many cleverly constructed layers that develop throughout the course of the 50-hour campaign. The genius of Hideo Kojima strikes in emphatic style, making Metal Gear Solid V the standout title of the year."

GR: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain marks an important transition for the series. Previous MGS entries allowed freedom within defined spaces, while MGSV makes the shift to an open-world sandbox design. The linearity of past games disappears, and Hideo Kojima's MGS swan song thrives on the lack of constraints. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain feels like an open-world sandbox game in which the game actually plays like a virtual sandbox. There aren't a ton of sidequests scattered over every square inch of the map. Instead, every situation in the game promotes creativity and thus the game shines in its open world design.

GiantBomb: "Metal Gear Solid V practically redefines the notion of what open-world gameplay can be."

It seems like Episode 51 was not the only thing that was cut from The Phantom Pain.

A solid (possibly) final entry to the franchise, though this Snake couldve used a little more bite. Full review by Cory Galliher on Popzara Press

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is taking up most of my gaming time these days. It's easy to see why it's gotten so many glowing reviews thus far.

DTOID: "Did you know the iDroid had a speaker? You can broadcast any of your cassettes aloud by turning the speaker on. Did you pick up the cassette of a guy shitting his asshole out? Yesterday I learned that if you play that boisterous bowel tape while hiding in a toilet, curious enemies will be less inclined to peek in." Warning:Spoilers for a Phantom Pain boss fight
