After the massive anticipation of Hideo Kojimas final Metal Gear entry you could be excused for being too excited to justify, but after finishing this game you'll wonder why you bothered, the gameplay itself is excellent but the story is terrible, for any other series this would be excusable but for a series that prides itself on narrative it simply is not good enough, if my review was based soley on gameplay it would be an easy 10/10, but if this was a movie and I was rating the story and pacing, 3/10 at best hence my score of 7 which I feel is justified here, the 10/10 reviews were clearly not from anyone who played the entire game, it is an unfinished mess with nice gameplay to compensate, RIP Metal Gear Solid, we all wish it could have ended better than this.
