Rikku Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a compact but demanding experience. I did everything needed to unlock all the rewards for The Phantom Pain, and while the main mission is quite short, it can be tough — especially on higher difficulties and during the first runs. As someone who hadn’t played every Metal Gear before, it wasn’t always easy to understand at first. That said, once you push through the initial confusion and complete a few side missions, the game really opens up. There’s a strong sense of progression, and slowly you start to understand how all the systems interact. A solid introduction that rewards patience and mastery.
