As a Platinum and Metal Gear fan, I love it. There isn't much on the Metal Gear part aside from Raiden and the codec conversations, but there's a lot from Platinum.
The gameplay is very good, action focused on combos, cutting things into pieces and getting some determined body parts from the enemies. It can be a bit confusing at first, specially on defensive moves, but I think I learned about it in a very natural way, which is way more rewarding than being treated as a stupid gamer.
Normal battles are challenging, I was always fighting my ass to avoid using medpacks because I would need them for the boss fights. Bosses are so cool and hard fight, always with their own mechanics that makes them unique and their own powerful metal song to enhance the experience.
I have to highlight the last boss fight, after so many tries I loved so much destroying him with the "It has to be this way" tune playing on the background, it left me with a big f.you grin.
On the customization side, I could upgrade Raiden stats, learn new skills, upgrade the weapon or get another one. There are a few weapons to choose but I haven't tried anything else than Raiden's main sword, although it's good to have choices. There's also some fire weapons like missile launchers which prove useful in some situations, plus the usual metal gear gadgets, box included ^^.
On the bad side and though I'm okay with the difficult gameplay mechanics, sometimes this is a problem for me because I tend to forgot about them, and if a few months later I want to play again I'm forced to do the tutorials again, which bores me a lot so I end up never playing it again. This has happened me a few times on Platinum games,
Did I like it? Yes.
I think you will like it if you:
- Are a Platinum/Metal gear fan
- Want a challenging action game
I rate my experience with a 8 out of 10
