Tony Polanco from The Koalition writes: "Ever since the release of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, series creator Hideo Kojima has said that each installment in the franchise would be his last. It got to a point where it became a running joke, and when he said that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain would be his final game in the franchise, no one took him seriously. After the fallout he and parent company Konami had however, Kojimas promised departure from the series has indeed come. Despite the drama, I can think of no better way for Kojima to leave the franchise he created. The Phantom Pain is not only one of the strongest entries in the franchise, but one of the top games of this year."

From Segas Shadow Dancer to Call of Duty: Ghosts, gaming has had its share of trusty canine companions. After having completed Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, I can confidently say that Big Boss wolf dog companion, DD, is the most adorable, deadly, and useful mans best friend ever conceived for a video game.

SPOILER WARNING: There are a couple of unavoidable cutscenes in this video. The first one involves Quiet and is pretty harmless, while the second one has a small spoiler about an upgrade you can get later in the game.

TSA: The Phantom Pain makes a major departure from the gameplay of the earlier home console games, but its brilliant for it. The story loses its momentum half-way through and the boss fights can fall flat, but those are minor points compared to the outstanding open world that has been created for you to play in and the freedom to do so.

MNJ: I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear series and desperately wanted to love Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain but I have to admit to being turned off by the whole affair. The first five hours of gameplay were great, exploring the open world and building Mother Base was thrilling, but after that, it grew tiresome and became a grind. Performance issues with the frame rate kept pulling me out of the moment and long lasting server issues mean I have been unable to play the multiplayer at all. I had hoped that Hideo Kojimas final Metal Gear game would wrap up the franchise nicely but instead we have a disjointed and unfinished plot. With only three real boss battles, most of the gameplay comes down to a formulaic method of approach, survey, shoot. And that just isnt Metal Gear to me. The franchise ends, not with a bang, but a whimper, and that might just be the saddest piece of gaming news I have ever heard.

Forbes: " The Phantom Pain is very much an RPG in a similar vein as The Witcher 3, even though it isnt labeled as such. And here is where we come to the flaw."

GC: Hideo Kojima should quit game production and retire effective immediately. He would leave the gaming world on the highest note achievable by any game producer if he were to do so following the release of his magnum opus, his Citizen Kane, his Mona Lisa, his David, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, his most recent (and final) title for Konami and for the Metal Gear universe. The game lives up to every bit of hype built around it over recent years and is worthy of every bit of positive praise heaped upon it by the gaming journalism world.
