HG: It's been 28 years since the release of the original Metal Gear for the MSX. PC and console gaming both has gone through rigorous evolution since. Along the way, many old series have died off, and many new ones have sprung up; but the Metal Gear series has carved its way from a niche following, to a household name.

GR: Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain successfully translates the iconic stealth action gameplay that has defined the series into a massive open world adventure.

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.

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.

So this is what happens when Hideo Kojima creates his own Swansong. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the successor to Prologue Ground Zeroes, taking place nine years after Motherbase is destroyed by a group of generally ugly/crazy gentlemen. TPP is a lot different to every other MGS game ever made though. NPU have played every game in the series, including the PSP titles, and can very boldly state, this is not like the rest. The few core control mechanics are there, hell the cardboard box is still here, but TPP is most definitely a whole new world as far as Snake is concerned. This pushes the boundaries, past invisible walls and a largely linear set of game areas, and drops you into Afghanistan, where the ten square kilometres are your oyster. It's also an extremely dense game.
