Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10 by Roger Hargreaves

A brief but entertaining prologue that is marred by the question of value for money and an empty story that has no resolution unless you buy the next game.

Kotaku: by Kirk Hamilton

A brief but well-crafted game that rewards creative play in surprising ways. It's good to see Snake again.

PC Gamer: 87 / 100 by Andy Kelly

A deep, entertaining stealth sandbox with endless scope for mastery. You kept us waiting, Kojima, but it was worth it.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Description

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PS4, PC and etc. is a game by Kojima Productions, aimed mostly at the fans of Metal Gear Solid series that intend to buy Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. According to the intentions of Hideo Kojima, the game serves as a form of a prologue that lets the players accommodate to the changes in the gameplay mechanics.

The action of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Paz and Chico are held prisoner in the heavily-fortified Omega camp. They both have information on Snake and his military organization. Snake and Kaz Miller have to penetrate the enemy territory and rescue the hostages.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PS4, PC and etc., just like its predecessors, is a stealth-action game that combines dynamic action sequences with the necessity of operating in shadows. This time around, though, the developers prepared an open world that lets the players freely explore the locations and perform missions in various ways.

The changes introduced in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes not only affected the gameplay mechanics, but also the user interface. Contrary to the previous installments in the series, only the most important information is shown on screen, which enhances the overall visibility of the environment.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is one of the first games that makes use of the innovative Fox Engine capabilities.

The Time When Kojima Trolled Me One Time Too Many

It's been seven years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 5, a game I've been anticipating like salvation. I finally played it, and I still can't forgive Kojima for one thing. He trolled us, the players, one too many times.
