Jumped into this game and the whole series in general all blind, turned out to become a big time fan.

This game offers you a lot of entertainment and fun for about 80 hours if you decide to play all the side missions, along with the main missions. Anyone who likes stealth games is going to fall in love with this masterpiece.

Gameplay is innovative, and polished to perfection, you can get pretty damn creative with all of the kills and takedowns, you can have an enemy killed by having an utility pole dropped down on top of them or knock out an enemy flat with throwing them in the face with an empty magazine you're supposed to use as a way of disctracting them. Craft new diversity inspiring weapons, equipment and uniforms with schematics and resources you're being awarded for completing missions and finding them through exploring in 2 vast open world areas, recruit new powerful staff and send them onto off-screen expeditions and bring you back more resources to craft new stuff with. There's no "wrong" way of playing the game, the game doesn't really punish you for going in gun blazing and killing everyone despite the series being all about stealth and non-lethal action most of the time. The game does have an ingenious karma system and does affect you a bit, in a very subtle way. So keep that in mind before you shoot someone in the face.

Story is a very deep and lenghty and the characters within it likable and you'll start to feel attached if you decide to allow yourself to be immersed in it and take your time in listening to all of the casette tapes and get on board with what's going on, if it's your first Metal Gear game.

Don't miss out on this masterpiece, for the current price, this game is nothing but a steal.
