The worst in the series.

I got through all of the game's content looking for something interesting to do as a longtime Metal Gear player. The best it had to offer were the OSP missions in chapter 2, and that's not enough. 3 boring boss fights, and the freedom allowed crippled the game as far as challenge goes due to how easily exploitable the dog and Rocket Punch are. I could not find the fun even S ranking every mission with no alerts and reflex-mode disabled.

I am on the side of the fence that believes something good could've been done here had Kojima been allowed to finish the game and not been forced to adhere to a 2015 release date, but we're reviewing the game we got and not the one it could've been.

I usually give at least a 2/5 to something I was able to get through, or something I could realistically see myself getting through, but I only got through this due to the series and its creator's legacies. It's a 1/5.
