Um dos melhores encerramentos de uma franquia.
Metal gear solid 4 é canonicamente o último jogo da série, em ordem cronológica, e ele faz isso de uma maneira espetacular, reunindo personagens de jogos anteriores, sem deixar lacunas e finais não-resolvidos com eles, sendo eles mei-ling, naomi, meryl, rose, entre outros.
A gameplay dele é quase idêntica à do MGS3, a diferença é que temos um sistema de camo dinâmica, que funciona junto do cenário, e que é muito bonito e estiloso ver a transição do octocamo no traje de snake, e também é muito divertido usar o octoface, que deixa você usar a cabeça dos personagens, fica meio cursed da primeira vez, mas é legal em ng+ posteriores.
A história é fantástica e foi encerrada de uma forma linda, com um diálogo maravilhoso entre snake e big boss, e com um tom de esperança vindo do fim do jogo, em relação à vida de nosso herói.
Vale ressaltar que é incrível ver personagens recorrentes da série sendo ainda mais desenvolvidos no último jogo, assim como raiden e otacon, que são personagens incríveis e fundamentais pro desenvolvimento do jogo, sem contar que as cenas de ação do raiden são incríveis e com uma coreografia maravilhosa, vale também ressaltar a aparição da filha de olga, sunny, que é muito divertida e traz vários momentos de conforto entre as prévias das missões, suas interações com os personagens são muito fofas, e a aparição dela no mgr é muito legal também.
É uma pena que esse jogo seja um prisioneiro do PS3, e que no futuro seja possível experimentar um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos no conforto de um pc, que se Deus quiser, com melhorias de gráficos.

This game is like kojima giving fans everything they want but crossing his arms and doing it angrily. Oh? Oh u want to play as solid snake again? U thought raiden was lame? Ok, here, you’re snake and he’s old and lame and has back problems and raiden is a badass lightning ninja cyborg now. Remember snake’s girl from mgs1? Poopy pants Johnny just married her. He’s not as good at sneaking as u are, player, but he is nice. It’s no accident that every other character ends the game dancing and chilling at a wedding together and snake/player is wasting his short remaining days being exposited to. Spending more and more time being stuck within the metal gear story, milking and draining every bit of information from it until eventually the player hates it. The game gives you fanservice the same way eating lasagna every meal for every day wil give u lasagna poisoning. I feel it’s a critique of the culture where everything is theorized and discussed and answers for every mystery are demanded. The game’s so stuck within itself that every boss is a remix of an old one. You literally press x to see pictures of whatever metal gear moment this scene references. I’m not qualified at all to talk about meta commentary and stuff but there’s a part in this game where snake asks why they kept big boss’ body alive. She says “because people need their hero to stay forever” and looks directly at the camera. I don’t think it’s really an avoidable topic when discussing this game.

I love Kojima but this is prob his most flawed dialogue and exemplifies a lot of problems I have with his later games stories. This and peace walker are the only mainline mgs games I’ve never replayed. There’s obviously too many cutscenes and the gameplay segments are mediocre after the first act. The game’s psych meter system is an interesting concept to shift the physical health first aid care system from mgs3 to mental health and make it more about ptsd, but it does quite literally nothing with it. The therapist character on your codec doesn’t even give you therapy she just says to wait in the corner until ur stress level goes down. Or says some shit like “the boss you’re fighting, unhappy armadillo, is unhappy. According to psychology, this is caused by lack of happiness. Good luck snake.” The bosses are terrible and the boss roster themselves have no personality (unless you like their wattpad trauma backstory that is omnisciently told to you by the gun merchant after you beat them) which is such a downgrade from every other game’s boss rosters, every single one of which I would have a drink with. I don’t even drink but I would defile my sacred mouth with the poison that is alcohol just to make fatman or sniper wolf or the pain happy. But there’s much to appreciate with what this game does.

“Don’t waste the life you have left fighting”
=
“Stop playing this video game 😡”

Maybe I’m completely illiterate or I’m projecting but my interpretation is valid and yeah. Also the ray fight and the ocelot fight are amazing. The end. Sry for the serious review.
