A joyless slog of a survival game that should've been a card game or a free-to-play mobile game. The idea of zombies in "Metal Gear" came from Kojima himself. But without his involvement, Konami really screwed the pooch. Instead of being fast-paced fun, "Survive" is a real chore to play. Graphically, it looks good. But the over-complicated mechanics and boring combat make it a waste of time. Even fans of the base building from MGS V will find it to be perplexing. A spin-off in the tradition of Red Dead Redemption's "Undead Nightmare" would've been so much better. I'd rate this with a 5 out of 10.

Metal Gear Survive is the worst game to ever have the Metal Gear brand slapped on it. A worthless and boring survival game that had the gall to charge extra for an additional character slot.

It’s a pretty good survival game. I have really enjoyed it since it came out, and still love to play coop with people. It’s not without its faults don’t get me wrong, but I recommend the multiplayer aspect if you can get a group of 2 or more. I think online criticism is somewhat unjustified in some aspects, people gave their views on game features without really playing it. But I understand animosity due to Kojimas Konami departure. Still I highly recommend it

Este juego no tiene nada que ver con la saga metal gear, la historia es nefasta o nula, la jugabilidad buena pero monótona, este juego es una ofensa al creador y a los usuarios y solo tiene el nombre metal gear para vender

Sorprendente, se lo si analizza senza il preconcetto di un "Metal Gear". Il gioco tecnicamente è fatto molto bene, divertente, dinamico e mai banale. Considerate che è uscito anni prima di Days Gone e le meccaniche sono molto simili. Io vi consiglio di provarlo, peraltro lo trovate a prezzi davvero irrisori su Vinted

Metal Gear Survive was a huge letdown from the franchise. Metal Gear Survive takes a bizarre narrative detour, ditching the fun and interesting intrigue aspects that the series is known for. While being nor the worst game, it suffers from an identity crisis and fails to capture the magic of its predecessors. Metal Gear Survive takes an unconventional turn in its storytelling. While not a subpar game, it grapples with an identity crisis and falls short of capturing the essence of its predecessors.Nevertheless, for fans of the Metal Gear Solid series, Survive is a significant disappointment. Metal Gear Survive may suffice for those seeking a basic survival game experience. However, for those anticipating an authentic Metal Gear adventure, this title misses the mark. It stands as a lackluster spin-off that does more harm to the series' reputation than it does to entertain.

The only good thing was the intention, but the execution was horrible. I just find it torture to play this for more than 3 hours, an extremely tiring, slow and repetitive game.

This is offensive towards their customers as well as Kojima, who created metal gear's universe. Professional reviewers who gave a positive vote outed themselves as non trustworthy and corrupted news outlets.

This game is a pile of crap I would avoid stepping on even if I want to stomp it. Weak storyline, re-used graphics assets, weak characters that I don't care about, weak gameplay, weak music, online only and microtransaction galore. Why should I pay money for a save slot? Are you kidding me?!?!?

Konami ruined the best thing they had going for it. If Kojima says he needs more money and more time, you give him more money and more time.

I've been hooked on this the past few days! Can't believe I let you tubers put me off! The game is so fun! If you like fallout base building stuff and zombies this game is for you! I hope they bring out more content, but I highly doubt it given it's reception.

What a bummer. As a fan of both MGS and sandbox survival, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of this title. Just picked it up for $10, and it’s not even worth that much. The opener to the game is so brutally slow and nonsensical, it’s like they don’t even want you to play it. Then the robots who narrate everything speak at a snail’s pace, so I’m sure most of the game’s runtime is just listening to them talk. Once you can actually play, the game is interesting for 30 minutes but then reveals itself to be a totally uninspired, repetitive, boring experience. I wasn’t even motivated to get into the base building, and I love that stuff. Also... for some reason the MGS world involves portals? And the enemies are a cross between zombies and unicorns that wind up being much more weird than scary? If they wanted to do MGS survival, the recipe seems pretty simple: make it like snake eater, a soldier lost in the forest surrounded by tribal enemies or even zombies. But a totally wacko sci-fi hell portal full of dust storms? I just don’t get any of it.

And yet another series I loved died painfully. Why, Konami? Why do I have to pay for save slots? Why is the game this repetitive? Why is the game THIS much of a bugfest? Why couldn't you be bothered to make some semi-functional AI in a AAA game released in 2018? I hope you're happy, Konami. You've successfully ruined Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Contra and your reputation. Conrats.

i like this game. i understand why many people hate it, with the boring start but the boredom is far away once you get forward in the game. i feel like the first couple of hours is a tutorial for whats coming up. the game really gets fun later and i think that all these reviewers that think its boring only played the first hours. i like that the game is trying something different. i think it feels like they combined resident evil and snake eater. it might use the same engine as mgsVTPP but its more if they used the healing, hunting and eating from snake eater, used resident evil 4 or 5 combat and put it onto the fox engine because thats their latest engine. i agree that the thirst and hunger bar is kinda annoying but i let it pass because its survive and not solid. the combat is nice but sometimes feels BS because i poke em with the spear but i don't hit em and they hit me with their short arms and instantly hit me. i love the base builder and when i unlock something it feels like i actually earned it. i love how you have to think before taking action. like: am i gonna make this?, do i have the resources to do that? and is this the best way to do it? i remember that i used to run around swinging my shovel at the wanderers and hoping for the best. later i saw a big horde and decided to think before doing anything. i decided to try sneaking past and use bottles to distract them and it worked. this made me use my brain before doing anything. ask yourself these questions. not gonna lie but there are many bad things but they didn't hit me that hard. i hate the food and thirst and how fast it goes down but after getting the farms and hanging pot nothing was a big issue like at the beginning of the game. you start with nothing and have to drink dirty water and if u were lucky, find clean water. then gaining more and more til the point where food and water is not an issue anymore. the game is a zombie game where you start with nothing and grow stronger. remember that this is no metal gear solid game, this is metal gear survive. its a reason they didn't have solid in the name because it has something new to offer. that is why metal gear rising revengeance doesn't have solid in the name. because it has the sword battle which makes it feel like a brand new series. adding solid to the name would make original fans think that this is like the other games. removing solid form the name make it shine as its own thing while the others can stand solid. i think if you played the first hours and hated it then just play more and it will get fun. o think you should wait til the game goes on sale or just buy one cheap on the internet. i bought mine for 15$ and it came with dlc code and it was unopened. probably why i like it so much more because i got it cheap and it feels like i got what i paid for.

I know it’s be out a while now, but I bought it on a psn sale for £6.99 and I’m amazed at how bad this game is. I’ve tried to get into it but I’m tired of seeing the server logging in messages and I can’t stand the constant verbal garbage reminding me to rest or eat. Has to be one of the worst games I have played for **** game itself is boring, the melee combat is a joke and the world is horribly dull. 5 hours of playing it and it deleted, but compelled me enough to write this.

just another cash graber game with a lot of micro transactions. there is no plot and single player is a joke. what they did with metal gear franchise is like seeing your best get burned and skinned at the same time and they want money from you to watch it. i knew that it was going to be bad without kujima but i would never imagine someone would be as untalented as the creators of this game. just WOW

Solo es un juego mas donde lo mas interesante es poner una valla y golpear enemigos a traves de la valla Si le hubieran puesto otro nombre estaria mejor ya que en este juego ni sigilo ni accion ni nada que caracterisa un metal gear, el unico sigilo es no hacer ruido para evitar que esos bicho te escuchen pero ni eso puedes pasar como si nada.

I really wanted to like this game. I have played the phantom pain recently and really enjoyed it. I even enjoyed ground zeroes. So I thought I would check out this game. Crafting? Survival? Touch of metal gear? Sounds good to me, despite all the bad reviews. However several missions in I'm ready to put this game on ebay. First off, it's NOT a metal gear game. Big boss escapes in the opening cutscene, and he is right to do so. There's no stealth. No memorising patrol routes. No ludicrous cold war plot. No lengthy cutscenes. Basically you're surviving on your own in a hostile world, to find a group of soldiers who went there earlier. Maybe if they arrive, with all their numbers and weapons and tech, and ended up dead, I would not have much of a chance on my own with nothing but the clothes I stand in? But I am sent anyway. So, the plot starts and straight away you are introduced to an annoying computer. No, make that two computers, making an annoying partnership. Always telling you what to do. I would rather Miller or some other metal gear character be guiding my path, not some tiresome AI. So straight away I am looking for food. I kill some sheep. And I refill my plastic water bottle with dirty water. Just so I can survive. Pretty basic stuff. Not only that, but as this is a "realistic game" I am having to eat and drink every 30 minutes, otherwise I will die. Just like real life. What a chore. Not only that, but I don't have any weapons, other than a pipe. Or maybe a machete. So off I go killing these zombies, sorry, wanderers, and harvesting their energy just like other, more interesting games. And later on I have to go into these areas that have a sandstorm, sorry dust, which I can't see in. And I need oxygen to survive in them. Otherwise I'll die. Oh, and I also have a stamina meter, which goes down ridiculously quickly. I can run for about 1 minute, as it's realistic. Just like real life. Here's me thinking life was a disappointment, all those childhood hopes and dreams and here I am trudging off to work everyday with a couple of days at the weekend off, getting drunk, just to remind myself that I am still alive. But still, real life is more fun than metal gear survive. In MGSV The Phantom Pain I arrived to the mission in a helicopter playing Wagner. I had buddies, the sexy sniper Quiet who could clear a whole base before I arrived. A useful dog. A mech that was ridiculously useful towards the end. Even a horse. I had a suit which allowed me skulls special abilties. I could invade other players' bases online. I roamed the map just for fun, taking out outposts and generally having great fun. I arrive back at motherbase and everyone saluted me, they were all pleased to see me. In short... I felt like a god. However, in metal gear survive I don't feel like a god. I feel the opposite, I feel like a homeless person. A bum. Someone **** to survive. In the phantom pain my minimum loadout, the one I used to keep the loadout cost to a minimum for various missions where I am just grinding, is a luxury compared to what I have to fight with in metal gear survive. In metal gear survive I am literally scrabbling just to survive. Video games, like an other pleasurable medium such as films, books, music, etc, should be there to take us away from the mundanity of everyday life. They should be there to fill our hearts with hope, to remind us that sometimes, somewhere, someone great can arrive to turn the tired world on its head an make it a better place. As a famous German philosopher once wrote, they should make us feel like a "superman". Metal gear survive just feels like more of real life.

Are you **** konami ?, We have to pay 10 dollars to get a space in our inventory for a **** game that is not worthy of the name of metal gear, I prefer to play snake eater, peace walker, phantom pain, metal gear solid that They are legendary games that no fan of the metal gear saga of going unattended meanwhile you behave worse than EA.

It's official. The konami has officially hit rock bottom, turning one of the most important video game franchises into a way to get extra cash. Yeah. If you haven't guessed by the title, this one is more generic and possible zombie survival game, with a brilliant combat system where you have to keep clicking the same button in the direction of the enemy, preferably, until he dies with an intelligence artificial like a zombie with a unicorn horn instead of brain and a brilliant gameplay loop that encourages exploration with the need to collect resources to survive but at the same time punishes exploration as running around makes its water level is as if it were about Jupiter's gravity. The konami really proved that, without the kojima to hold the ends, she does like a dog that barks a lot until you release his collar and then he does absolutely nothing but make a poop that charges for a second save.

What can i even say about this game? Not only that it turn out to be the desastrous lunch and a bigger of a disgrace spinoff for the entire franshise but also an insult to the loyal fans from the original metal gear till the Phantom Pain came out back in 2015. Screw KONAMI. Hope they can learn from this, big time.

It's a fun take on the survival genre. The game is a little on the short side for me. I had a lot more fun with this than MGSV. It seems to me it's a cool spin-off however it doesn't add much to the saga. The store is an obvious cash grab as the game itself. Sadly Kojima fans will absolutely hate it.
