METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES Reviews

Really good game especially if you find it on a sale, despite this basically being a demo for MGSV: The Phantom Pain this still has at least 30-40 hours of playtime. There's the main story mission that leads to phantom pain which can be completed in an hour or 2 or maybe even less but this being a metal gear game of course there is plenty of interesting side content that all utilize the same sandbox map from the main story mission in different ways. On top of the extra missions that all boost the playtime by a few hours each (and are just as masterfully crafted as the main mission in true kojima style) there are also time trials and other challenges that you need to complete if you wish to 100% this. I'd even argue that this is the true MGSV experience due to the 1000s of copy pasted side quests in The Phantom Pain that are simply not very interesting or enjoyable coupled with it's disappointing and rushed ending.

1/10 how do you somehow forget to add basic mouse controls to the main menu and sound settings in a pc conversion of this ass game impossible to play

A little late. It's a bit more refined and less refined in some areas compared to V, some of the movement behaviors that weren't included in V feel more fluid but some feel clunky (sprint remains toggled through actions like aiming, which is likely to get you spotted from a solid 75m away if you aren't aware of it). 100% worth on sale. :D

I remember buying this game when it came out for 39.99 on the ps3 and while I did have fun I don't think it was worth the 40 bucks but revisiting this game on the steamdeck... This game has one of the best openings for metal gear solid games Camp Omega is a fun base to sneak around in that has so many smaller places that make up the whole pie Phantom Pain has more refined gameplay and there are a good amount of bases that are fun to sneak around and fight in but none of them, in my opinion, held the complexity that this base did. The other side missions for this game are fun and have varied objectives. If you want a third person stealth/action game, pick this up when it goes on sale. 2 hours should be enough time if you want to keep it or not.

Its a short game, only 25-30 hours to get 100% completion. Every mission is very well designed and unique, which makes it feel almost as a new game every time, even though it all only takes place on one small map! 10/10 Would recommend :3

Man, this is fricking hard by the way... I completed the final side op of anti air guns thinking I would surely get a S rank for this, only to get a meagre B. I think taking too much time cost it. There's no doubt, this is a 'git gud' game, if you are aiming for at least 50% completion.

Been playing MG since it came out on PS. great story.

An extremely off-putting and controversial game. Not often a game can make you feel so uneasy in its 90 minute runtime.

definitely buy it on sale, as it’s very short for the price they’re charging however, the game is very good disregarding price and is a nice introduction to the mechanics of metal gear solid V, holding an immense amount of detail and cinematography within every cutscene.

What a fantastic game. I actually played this after TPP, but enjoyed it equally as much. I love the stealth aspect in these MGS games. The gunplay (when needed) is top notch, graphics still more than hold up, and the movement feels great. The missions were fun and engaging. It was also fun to go around trying to find the “extras” each mission had to offer. 100% recommend this one.
