Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros is my first ever MGS game, and i gotta say that i was engaged in the game and its story immediately, due to the quality of the story telling , and the strong presentation of each mission in this game, leaving you with an exciting feeling, and an adrenaline boost before the start of any mission.

There's only little story to this game though, which is in the main mission ( Ground Zeros ), and you could finish it in less than 20 minutes. Even though i'm new to the franchise, i still finished the game in less than 20 minutes, which leads me to my next point, the lack of the main story, which is really disappointing. I am not talking about the content of the game itself, because the game is very rich in content, since you can play various missions, including rescuing Kojima himself, assassinations, and playing as the mighty Raiden ( yes, he's mighty, screw the haters ), but i still wish the main story was just a little bit longer.

Overall, i will conclude my review with some of the pros and cons based on my personal experience with the game:


- Amazing optimization, almost flawless, constant 60 FPS with everything maxed out ( please don't envy me ).
- Challenging enemy AI, their movements, response to suspicious movments, observation of the environment is almost perfect, leaving you with a since of challenge, and a satisfying feeling once you go past them.
- Great storytelling, voice acting, cutscenes, basically a very promising story to the full game, The Phantom Pain.
- Lovable characters ( oh really?), yes, i'm yet to find a dull or a disappointing character in this game, maybe because it's short, but that's what it is.
- There's more, literally, everything in the game is awesome.


- Lack of story based missions ( they should've called this a demo, yep, that controversy again).


A perfect 10 out of 10.

It's clear that this is just the begining of something amazing to come, which is The Phantom Pain, so don't take this review as a review for the whole MGS franchise, or The Phantom Pain, it's basically a review of a demo, a prolouge that should've been free, but oh well, it's still worth your time and money, and it will help you to get to know the controls and the mechanics of the full game, The Phantom Pain, Plus, you can upload your save files from this game ( Ground Zeros ) to the full game ( The Phantom Pain ) which will unlock some cool stuff!


It's pretty good.
