COG writes: Directed, designed, co-produced and co-written by Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is about the best we have seen from the franchise, and about the best we have seen from Kojima.

GE: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the first Metal Gear to feature an open world. With massive environments to explore, there are seemingly countless ways to play around and have fun as Big Boss.

DS: Despite the fact Ground Zeroes gave us a vertical slice of what would be on offer, I wasnt really prepared for what The Phantom Pain ended up delivering. The scale of the game be it the size of its maps, the scope of the gameplay, and the challenges available overtakes anything weve previously seen from the Metal Gear Solid franchise. You could even say its the logical conclusion to Kojimas work in terms of gameplay and accessibility, with the end result being something that stands head and should above anything else remotely similar. In short, Kojima has effectively re-written the rulebook on stealth games yet again, but is it the perfect game? Thats a question that isnt so easy to answer.

Graham at GameSpew writes: "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the last final hurrah for Hideo Kojima, and the last breath in the (Kojima made) Metal Gear games, but rather than a final gasp, its an almighty roar. Kojima is going out with an impossibly loud bang with quite possibly the greatest open world game ever made. Im going to get straight to the point here. This is one of the greatest open world video games ever made. In a genre that has been stagnating for years under the weight of huge worlds littered with shallow side quests, minor distractions and pathetic mini-games, Kojima sweeps this cluttered table clean with The Phantom Pain and keeps on going right into the sunset. Metal Gear Solid V is a vast game, and untangling all the many little strands of detail and complexity that make up each moment of the game makes it hard for me to know where to even begin describing it."

If The Phantom Pain is to be the final Metal Gear Solid game, then Hideo Kojima has bid farewell to his series with a masterwork. MGS's first foray into a truly open world has served up its most in-depth and intricate gameplay, in turn creating Konami's most moreish stealth espionage title to date.

Adam Cook: "Were all loving The Phantom Pain, but there is so much going on, theres a chance you may have missed some small things that make the overall game seem both more impressive, and deeper. Heres a video showing off those things."

AT: Metal Gear fans have been waiting for this a long time, and now Snake is finally back to kick more ass. When I played Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots on PlayStation 3, I remember thinking how it wouldve been cool if the mission areas were a bit more open. As it turns out, my wishes were granted. This time around, Hideo Kojima and the developers saw to it that players have all the freedom they need to carry out their tasks. In Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Snake isnt restricted to taking one or two or three routes to his goal. Theres nearly an infinite number of ways to carry out your assignments.

Ken McKown writes:It has been a long and bumpy road to get here. The Metal Gear Solid series is the reason I started a website. Every entry in the series has been one step up from the last. The circle is now complete. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain may be the last entry that matters, the last directed by Hideo Kojima, it is the end of an era, and it has been an amazing ride. The Phantom Pain is a much different beast though. Taking a lot of what made the series one of my favorites, and stripping it away for more refined, and addictive game play. The end result is a masterpiece of a game that falls short on what it means to be Metal Gear.
