Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review (Captain Everdeen)
Open world stealth game with several complex and unique gameplay mechanic. Recommend it for those who like stealth game genre or Metal Gear series in general. Recommend to buy it when it's on sale.
Pros :
+ Several complex and unique gameplay mechanic in an open world + stealth genre
+ Base building plus you can recruit your own soldiers/army à la Pokémon. In Pokémon you use Poké Ball, in this game you use Fulton extraction.
+ Huge amount of replay value or replayability.
+ You can choose variety of ways to complete a mission from total stealth to total chaos like rambo or something like that.
Cons :
- The story is unfinished.
- Some grind-fest are fun. But there are couples of grind-fest are feel like a chore, like grinding resources for research/build/development items and your base.
- I really dislike 1 thing from this game that is "waiting time" to develop/build something in this game. Almost 30% of my playtime was AFK just to wait "offline" item research/development finished. Ranging from 18 minutes to several hours to complete each item and it's using in real life time and only counted while you are in game.
"Online" items are far more ridiculous, ranging from several hours to several days or week. At least online items counted "online" and you don't need to open your game at all to wait that.
- There is microtransaction for the online portion of the game
Overall, Recommend this game when it's on sale.
