Perhaps taking the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots criticisms to heart, Kojima doesn't let The Phantom Pain's characters dive into over-the-top monologues, exhibit wacky super powers, or simply embrace weirdness, elements that have all become series trademarks. That said, the remaining game doesn't sustain the same level of mystery and WTF moments. It introduces new mechanics and characters, while bringing back familiar faces from past Metal Gear Solid games. This tutorial sequence is thrilling, though a bit long. We'll say this, though: This one of the strongest kickoffs in video game history, complete with high tension, nightmarish imagery, Moby Dick allusions, and a mysterious, bandaged figure (voiced by 24's Kiefer Sutherland) who helps you evade enemy soldiers. The mercenary leader's body is severely damaged from XOF's attack, as depicted in Ground Zeroes' closing moments, and the villainous organization is on his trail to make sure that the legend doesn't come back to life.ДЄ Metal Gear Solid game is always good for twists and turns, so we won't spoil what happens during The Phantom Pain's opening moments. In terms of story, The Phantom Pain begins nearly a decade after the series began in the standalone Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes ($19.99 at Humble Bundle), with a hospitalized Big Boss waking from a coma as the David Bowie song 'The Man Who Sold the World' blares. This review focuses on PC-exclusive features, gameplay changes, and our evolving opinions on the game's surprising story, nearly one year after we first played through it.
