Peace Walker is by all accounts a worthy canonical chapter in the saga, with its own dignity in terms of the themes covered and consideration for the in-depth development of the characters. On the gameplay experience aspects, it is also a pretty good transposition of the mechanics from previous games to a handheld console, especially considering the major limitations of the psp: clearly affected by this are mainly the ai of the enemies, the complexity of the environments and a certain overall fluidity of the experience, which can initially seem quite clunky. Good choices were therefore to model the gameplay in a relatively short mission structure, to increase action sequences over stealth phases and to be inspired by the type of games proposed by the highly successful titles on psp, such as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. The result is a very fun game with various customization options and a very high level of replayability with an almost arcade-like flavor in improving your gaming execution, that may annoy those who rightly believe that such a title deserved more attention, but which in the end, considering the finished product, turns out to be decidedly remarkable.
