About METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN
About this game
Developed and published Konami.
METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN is set nine years after the events of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES; now, Snake is back, and he's out for revenge! Follow him through the story as he crosses through Afghanistan during the 1980s!
Bigger And Better
It's been nine years since the fall of Mother Base, and Snake (Big Boss) awakens during The Cold War. To seek out his revenge, he begins to assemble his own private army — the Diamond Dogs — to hunt down the shadow group commanded by Skull Face, known as XOF.
A Unique Entry!
In this entry to the series, you'll explore the Afghan desert whilst the narrative unfolds through rich cinematic storytelling and tactical gameplay. The title explores heavy themes as it takes you through the photorealistic world!
Challenging Conflicts
You'll be able to use base-building mechanics, and through that, have somewhere to develop weapons and items for your journey. Recruit enemy soldiers and prisoners, and even call airstrikes and helicopter support!
Ready For Online Play?
Thanks to the new Metal Gear Online system, you'll be able to face other players and A.I. in armed combat! Or, if you'd rather, you can always try your hand at Forward Operating Bases, a mode where you'll build up a base and then defend and attack against others! Resources generated in this mode will be linked back to your single-player campaign.

It is a lot of fun to play, the story is kind of silly but it makes it even better, the dialogue is also chessy sometimes and you see the name Hideo kojima a lot and you kidnap people with ballons and even if you have never played a metal gear solid before I think you will enjoy it hehe.

I wasn't really in a hurry to play this game, but I had my eye on it for a while so I got it. I like tactical games and this one is very fun.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've bought this game but I had to have it on my steam deck. It runs great right away, a few stutters here and there but I need to look into optimizing it. I'm a huge MGS fan, been playing since the PS1, and this is my favorite MGS game. It's always fun to jump into different missions and try to finish all the objectives. I love the open world and the deep tactical approach to infiltration.
