an excellent conclusion to the metal gear series. almost every system and feature from the earlier games is polished to perfection here, the stealth gameplay is incredible, and ive never had so much fun managing mother base. the optional online FOB missions are a great addition too. i know part of the story had to be rushed and a lot of it ended up being cut, which definitely made some parts feel awkwardly paced, but i still thought it was a lot of fun. the ending is great especially, and there's a main mission after the story ends that i liked a lot too. i also really enjoyed the dramatic cinematography during cutscenes, with every cutscene being similar to a handheld shot which makes this game's visuals stand out a lot.
