Thankfully, the control scheme from Ground Zeroes has returned and even feels a lot more polished. This frees you from the levels you used to play in, but it also puts you in a situation where you would have to spend some time gathering intel, patrol routes, and mark the guards. Well, not exactly the world, but Northern Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire Border, the former being a war-torn wasteland and the latter being a lawless area where even kids have guns. The old, open-linear style of play is no more, instead, you are given the world to play around.

Kojima Productions did away with the classic Metal Gear Solid gameplay in favor of an open-world setting. It has been nine years since the attack on Mother Base that put you in a coma. Set in Norther Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire Border, you play as Venom Snake as you rebuild your reputation and military might of Big Boss, the greatest soldier of the 20th century.

Did you ever wonder what’s it like to be Big Boss? Look no further! Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is here to cure you of that legendary mercenary itch.
