PlayStation 4 User Reviews

Metal gear solid 5 phantom pain is an all timer for me. Greatest of all time. I have played 100 hr's plus as solid snake. Just simply best game ever.

A wonderful game that will never be finished due to Kojima’s departure. The swan song of the MGS franchise.

The end is really bad and has terrible missions. They are the same as before but 3 times harder. They don't include anything in the story (which is just another phantasy story by itself nothing interesting), and it seems that the developers ran out of ideas. And if you don't finish them, you will not finish the game. As for the gameplay its good but not something special . A mediocre game at the most .

This game was very good and fun! I try to play this game correctly and practime sometimes but that was cool!

A great venture into Open world for Kojima. The innovation is great. The story feels unpolished compared to to the classic Kojima style narrative. The classic steal mechanics that Kojima games are known for are still as prevelant as ever!

Lamentablemente el diseño de progreso y misiones mancha un gameplay excelso. El mundo abierto se vuelve repetitivo muy rápido, las misiones son todas iguales (extraer a alguien o información) y el progreso para desbloquera gadgets y ventajas está limitado por TIEMPO REAL. Insólita decisión. Y como las misiones de la historia tambien se rigen por el nivel o un dispositivo en particular, el tiempo real tambien te impide jugar la historia, lo que es un error garrafal. Buena historia sin brillar, increíble gameplay, pero pesimas decisiones de diseño.

This game is incredible, but very difficult because the enemies’ AI is still insane even today. Other than that, it’s a fun game, with amazing animations, beautiful graphics, a great sniper, and a cute, loyal dog.

"The Phantom Pain" is a great action game. It is the first (and only) open-world "Metal Gear Solid" title, but the final one developed by Hideo Kojima. The "sandbox" gameplay is terrific and the cutscenes are superb. But the story leaves much to be desired since it's mainly told through audio tapes. In that regard, MGS V has the exact opposite problem of MGS IV which had a great story, but very little gameplay. Kojima's decision to downplay the cutscenes, omit the oddball humor and replace David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland makes this MGS feel different from previous entries. It's also strange that each mission concludes with an end credits sequence as if it were a television episode. Still, this is a must play for series fans. I'd rate it with a 9.3 out of 10.

Ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

The ultimate stealth game, could’ve been a hundred times better if Konami gave mr. Kojima more time, but i still love it very much. Getting platinum soon!

OH MY GOD , this is the greatest game ever made I loved ever second I played It’s PERFECT Puts today’s interactive movie like games to shame Kojima is a genius Must must play

As just a game, it's an untouchable masterpiece for the ages. As a Metal Gear game though, it's just okay. Easily the worst of the canon games.

Peakest of the peak. The story is GReAT! Voice acting is good (even tho snake didnt talk as much) and the ending is pretty crazy but FRICK MISSION 18

Metal Gear Solid V est un excellent jeu et qui montre encore le génie de Hideo Kojima. Le jeu a beaucoup de positif mais a quand même quelque petit défaut qui le rend imparfait :Premièrement, le gameplay est géniale, Snake dispose d’une panoplie d’arme et d’outil qui permette une variation dans le gameplay et qui permet au joueur de jouer de différente manière, que ça soit furtif ou offensif dans un semi open world qui lui, n’est pas parfait et qui est un peu trop grand et pas très intéressant à parcourir surtout quand les quêtes se situes à 3000 mètres d’intervalles. C’est pour ça d’ailleurs que des véhicules sont mis à disposition mais qu’ils sont pour la plupart d’entre eux inutiles même si quelques un permette aussi une variation dans le gameplay. Au niveau des ces quêtes secondaires, elles sont au bon d’un moment répétitif même si elle permette d’accroire des ressources pour améliorer les personnages mais aussi sa base. En effet, La Mother Base (la base dans le jeu), qui est le côté gestion du jeu apporte un réel intérêt et donne vraiment envie de revenir jouer, donc de faire des quêtes secondaires pour développer sa base et ainsi avoir de réels avantages sur le terrain comme de nouvelles armes, des vêtements, des outils etc… Toute ça permet d’avoir un réel sentiment de progression dans la puissance de l’armée, du joueur et de son **** rapport à l’histoire, on prend le contrôle de Big Boss et se déroule après le 3ième épisode de la licence. C’est une histoire très bien écrite, qui est vraiment sublimée par le gameplay des missions principales, les magnifique OST de Ludvig Forsell et les superbes cinématiques typique du travail de Kojima. Mais dans le fond, l’histoire aurait pu être un peu plus approfondie et moins craquelé, elle n’est cependant pas dépourvue de scènes émouvantes, de personnages très attachants, de messages profonds et d’antagonistes super charismatique et qui reste plutôt mystérieux tout le long du jeu. En plus de cette histoire, des cassettes sont mises en place mais elles n’ont pas trop d’intérêt à part permettre aux joueurs d’en connaitre plus sur l’histoire et ses détails, ça aurait été mieux qu’elles aient un réel impact sur le gameplay. Mais ça n’est qu’un simple détail, le jeu est vraiment incroyable et fait désormais partie de mes jeux préférer mais il n’est pas dépourvue de quelque petit défaut.

**Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain** is a masterpiece in storytelling, staying true to the series’ tradition of mind-blowing narratives that leave you in awe. The story is compelling and well-crafted, but the gameplay has some notable flaws. Often, the game places you 2 kilometers away from your mission objective, and even the “shorter” routes are still long and mostly uneventful—reminding me a lot of the long traversal in *Death Stranding*.There’s also an abundance of repetitive, story-unrelated missions that can get tedious, though the stealth system is excellent and enemy AI is smart, which keeps the core gameplay engaging. Overall, the game shines in narrative brilliance, but the mission design and pacing sometimes pull you out of the experience, making you just want to watch the cutscenes carefully rather than play through all the objectives.

Great game! A bit too over-the-top for stealth so I used some cheats to have fun. But decent characters, good weapons, good style, lots of running around in an open world, lots of gameplay mechanics. Like a special forces game, you can shoot, stun, fight, hide and takedown, then transport the bodies. The story however could have been a lot better. Graphics are still good even after 10 years. My first MGS experience. I didnt understand all that liquid snake, solid snake etc. But good feel. Especially the helicopter drop and pickup.

This was the last type of metal gear media we ever saw from our goat hideo :(

Le meilleur Metal Gear en termes de gameplay. Pas le meilleur pour l’histoire : on ressent les tensions entre Kojima et Konami, malgré quelques scènes cultes.

Gameplay on this is absolutely perfect and it has a bit of a call of duty like story. I have over 60 hours and I still haven't nearly completed the main story. Rating is 92/100.

STORY NOT LIKE METAL GEAR BUT THE GAMEPLAY SO PERFECT BUT THE GAME SO LONG BUT IM NOT BORED

es un juego excelente , la jugabilidad es divertida a mas no poder , poder jugar al clasico sigilo de la saga o ser mas un rambo es excelente, solo que el inicio se puede sentir divertido pero lento hablando de equipamiento de armas,compañeros.objetos etc si ves reseñas para saber si comprarlo o no ,deberias comprarlo

i came to this game thinking i wouldnt like it that much. but the game surprised me so much. the gameplay of the game is something amazing even for today, almost no game has the quality and freedom of its gameplay. the soundtrack is also amazing. the only flaw that really made me take a point, is the plot twist in the true ending. in my mind i just dont take the plot twist as canon

Metal Gear Solid 5 is one of the best games you'll ever be disappointed by. Its gameplay is undeniably exceptional -- expertly melding Metal Gear's traditional stealth gameplay with a more "do-it-your-own-way" open-world sandbox structure -- and unlike previous games in the series, the core of MGS5 is its gameplay over story and cutscenes. However, the story that is here is a mess -- notoriously unfinished. Furthermore, MGS5 features a twist so ridiculously dumb and pointless that it would make M. Night Shyamalan blush.

It's so good an it could have been the best stealth game ever... It's impressive that in 10 yearst there hasn't been anything better in this genre. The gameplay loop of MGSV is so fun and addictive. The freedom of approach is great! Overall it's also polished and there were zero bugs. Storywise also interesting but the end was mid. There's a huge arsenal of weapons and tools to develop. The only negatives are that there were a few of the worst designed and annoying missions/checkpoints I've ever seen in my life and a third of the game are recycled missions. It was almost perfect but still better than a lot of games coming out nowadays.

Absolutely masterpiece ****. A brilliant game to conclude the series with and an epic send-off for legend Hideo Kojima

My favorite game of all time from Kojima but Konami never let him finish it. F*ck Konami and Fire David Hayer! bring back Kojima and Kieffer Sutherland!

Probably the greatest stealth game in the series. Beautiful CQC combat . Game is unfinished but this some of the best unfinished game I ever played def one of my fav MGS games

This is one of the best open-world stealth experiences I’ve ever played. The freedom of choice is incredible – every mission can be approached in so many different ways, and the gameplay feels smooth, precise, and addictive. The Fox Engine makes everything look and run beautifully, from the smallest details to the huge environments. Sure, the story feels unfinished and not as strong as previous Metal Gear entries, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. It’s a game I can lose hours in without even noticing.

would be a perfect game if kojima was able to finish the 3rd act but it is still the best game in terms of gameplay creativity and freedom that i have ever played

I almost gave up on this game after a couple of days ... so glad I didn't! The opening sequences of gameplay are excruciatingly long and almost irrelevant to the overall game ... unless you're a hardcore advocate of the whole series! However the actual gameplay once you get past this opening mission gets pretty good! I loved the stealth aspects of the game, and I liked building up my army to have better and better stats, really quite addictive! I loved Quiet and D-dog, although the vert sexualisation of Quiet was totally unnecessary, and came across as misogynistic. The overall story is average at best and could've been a whole lot better, especially considering how good Death stranding is. Ultimately the gameplay is pretty repetitive and the extra (repeat) missions are almost superfluous. Also, the whole game is WAY TOO LOUD, and the game volume can't be turned down, except via the PS4/5 - stupid! Also several of the long video sequences are pretty boring. All that said, I played it for hundreds of hours, so it's ok in my book!

Um dos meus jogos favoritos da geração PS4. Kojima conseguiu entregar uma das melhores experiências da plataforma no quesito jogabilidade, mesmo sem ter conseguido finalizá-lo.

This game might as well have been called Metal Gear Solid V: Fulton Extraction, because that is pretty much what I spent the entirety of my time playing this game doing. The Fulton Extraction experience alone is enough for my score, I had so much fun doing it. It was so addictive to get max rank on all my soldiers, so I used tranquilizer guns for the whole game so I could extract everyone and everything on the map that I could manage to strap a parachute to. I don’t remember anything from the story or any of the boss fights other than the skull things that chase you, but I do remember what the map looked like and even specific base camps really well.

The game is great, but it is big and has some boredom. In the first chapter, there are no more than five missions, but in the second chapter, there is repetition and it is very boring. However, the leaders, especially Metal Gear, and the story are frustrating for some people, but the gameplay is legendary.

This is the second Metal Gear I've played, after Metal Gear Solid, a long time ago. I'm not a player who specializes in stealth, but in this game it's a very satisfying strategy. I'm still amazed by the graphical and narrative quality for a game that’s ten years old (I’m playing it on PlayStation 5). It's a shame the story isn't complete and the game had to be "padded" with inconsequential missions. That definitely takes away some points, but it has also helped solidify the legend around the game that could have been, but wasn’t. I recommend this title to anyone who loves video games.

Death Stranding bu oyunun tırnağı olamaz, sadece plotun sunumu kötüydü ki ana fikir yine kat kat daha iyiydi.

Contains many interesting gameplay elements that effectively captures military espionage and Effective story telling in one beautiful game.

カプコンともめながら作ったゲーム。その結果終わらなかった。 正直ゲームプレイの現代性は素晴らしいの一言である。とはいえ小島監督の興味がメカメカしいものからファンタジーに寄っているので雰囲気としては珍しいものになっている。 物語重視のプレイヤーなのでこれでメタルギアシリーズが終焉を迎えたのはどうしても納得できないところではある。ちゃんと終わらせてほしい。

Camera angles in cinematics are so cool, music in tapes is cool, story was impossible to understand (played this first), gameplay is legendary, there's no end to this game wtf

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a showcase of brilliant stealth-action mechanics wrapped in a fragmented, emotionally distant narrative. Its sandbox gameplay is fluid and empowering, offering players a wide range of tools, dynamic enemy AI, and impressive tactical freedom. However, the experience quickly becomes repetitive, with recycled mission objectives and a second act that leans heavily on content padding. The story, mostly told through audio tapes, sidelines Big Boss and underuses key characters, leaving little narrative momentum. Visually, the game is technically impressive but artistically sterile, lacking the iconic imagery and cinematic direction of earlier entries. While MGSV excels in control and systems design, its lack of emotional weight and unfinished structure hold it back from being truly great.

Where can I even begin???????????? like bro The story is amazing despite it technically not being complete and super rushed at the end, but still... oooooo myyyy lord what a story The pure cinema, the action scenes, the cinematography all goes sooooo well together. Combat is a real highlight of this game—its stealth gameplay is the best that I have ever played, the normal shooting is fantastic, the companions are sooo good and super unique. Genuinely, it is really sad that games like this had such a bad launch, but still... now the game... ackkkk it is just a masterpiece

...........................................................................

Metal Gear is unmatched. Hideo Kojima is god, and I'm so glad this series is coming back! Long live Metal Gear!

I like mgs v but i think it fell short in many areas and the story felt really lackluster this time compared to the rest of the series and i have played 1 though 3, and I think that does are masterpieces. But on the positive side the gameplay was fantastic but got really fast repetitive with not much diffrence between the missions, look i dont hate this game i am a mgs like all of you but this entry I have hard coming back to.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The game is good and offers a lot of choices for stealth. What I don't like is how it insists upon itself. Throughout your playthrough you'll get this feeling as if the devs are telling you this is the best stealth game ever. How it doesn't take it self seriously sometimes even though its metal gear. There is just something off about this game that makes it feel corporatized.

If you ask me, this is the best mgs game in terms of gameplay. There are millions of ways to kill enemies and it is incredible and fun. The story has a lot left to be desired, though.

El juego que más me ha dolido desde el fondo de mi corazón, ese final )’’’’: siempre y para siempre; Venom Snake y Quiet, muchas, muchas, muchas gracias Hideo Kojima y muchas gracias Stefanie Joosten por ser Quiet, mi Quiet )’:

The gadgets and cutscenes are still decent to enjoy with. Being the real and last of Kojima's tactical espionage experience,he deserves a salutation.
