The height of the series for me in terms of gameplay. As much as I enjoy MGS 1-4, adjusting to the controls in these games was always a bit of a struggle to me. In this game I had zero trouble adjusting on the fly and doing what I wanted. It makes me really, REALLY want to see the previous games remade with the Fox Engine.
I enjoyed building and expanding Mother Base - in general I'm a big sucker for any game that has a base building system. Mission objectives are varied well and can be accomplished in enough different ways that it's unlikely that any two players will have the exact experience.
The story was coming along quite well until its sudden 'conclusion', though there was some definite padding in chapter 2. And in a series with some truly amazing boss battles, there is definitely a lack of them here, in both quantity and quality.
On a final note, D-Dog is just too adorable.
