Revisited this game in 2022. I bought it on day 1 but only played it these days. As an MGS fan I think a lot of its value comes from nostalgia. I appreciated that, but a person who is not that familiar may not enjoy it. Storywise it was good, I enjoyed understanding BB history and the characters are fun. The story like some others MGS is about the future wars and soldiers. It will surely attract SiFi fans but others not so sure. Like other MGS there are two ways to play MGS , the pro sneaking stealth way and the casual friendly just kill everything with your guns, Drebin make the casual gameplay more accessible. I can say that I liked the game more before shadowmosses. Once I reached Shadowmoses it felt like the devs had to rush everything and it lost little of its fun. I will rank it as my least favorite MGS game, MGS2 being the most favorite.
Gameplay is nothing but souless grinds. Story is trash and full of woke Content is worst than everything. No new classes/races. New developers are very bad and killed what was once the greatest game ever.
This game did so many things right. It was deeply underappreciated. Several years ago I look back and wish I invested more in Cataclysm when it was the last expansion that felt like WoW.
