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.

PCgamer: "Big Boss may not talk much in Metal Gear Solid V, but if he did, he'd have some stories to tell. We'll be his voice today, then, with some of our favorite, stupidest, funniest moments from all the free-form infiltrating and extracting we've done for the past week. These unexpected narratives caused by systems and simulations bouncing off each other are best thing about MGS V, so keep it going with your stories in the comments."

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.
