Rating GZ higher than TPP might seem strange given TPP's wealth of content, but that's actually why I consider GZ to be the better game.
Where TPP tries to make an MGS game last for dozens of hours, GZ is half an hour of content that you can get dozens of hours out of. S ranks are far more appealing here than they ever have been in previous MGS games due to the fact that missions here are standalone. And since your score is very specifically detailed to you, you know exactly what to strive for if you want better ranks.
Perhaps it's unfair to rate GZ higher because of what you MIGHT do in a game, but I feel like a game's design truly flourishes when the designers essentially make you WANT to participate in the content they worked hard on.
