Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PS4, PC and etc. is a game by Kojima Productions, aimed mostly at the fans of Metal Gear Solid series that intend to buy Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. According to the intentions of Hideo Kojima, the game serves as a form of a prologue that lets the players accommodate to the changes in the gameplay mechanics.

The action of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Paz and Chico are held prisoner in the heavily-fortified Omega camp. They both have information on Snake and his military organization. Snake and Kaz Miller have to penetrate the enemy territory and rescue the hostages.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PS4, PC and etc., just like its predecessors, is a stealth-action game that combines dynamic action sequences with the necessity of operating in shadows. This time around, though, the developers prepared an open world that lets the players freely explore the locations and perform missions in various ways.

The Time When Kojima Trolled Me One Time Too Many

The Time When Kojima Trolled Me One Time Too Many

It's been seven years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 5, a game I've been anticipating like salvation. I finally played it, and I still can't forgive Kojima for one thing. He trolled us, the players, one too many times.

IGN: 8 / 10 by Lucy O'Brien

While short, a Metal Gear game has never looked or played as good as Ground Zeroes. Bring on The Phantom Pain.

Destructoid: 8 / 10 by Chris Carter

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is not for everyone. I can't stress how underwhelming the game will be if you aren't a huge fan of the series, or you can't see yourself playing in the same sandbox enough to really get your money's worth. But for everyone else that can't wait to get even a taste of Phantom Pain, it's worth the budget price of entry -- especially on a current-gen console.

PC Gamer: 87 / 100 by Andy Kelly

A deep, entertaining stealth sandbox with endless scope for mastery. You kept us waiting, Kojima, but it was worth it.

User Reviews Summary generated by AI

The main pros of the game

  • Gameplay Quality: Users consistently praise the gameplay mechanics, describing them as smooth, engaging, and well-designed. The stealth mechanics and controls are highlighted as some of the best in the series.
  • Visuals and Presentation: The game’s graphics, atmosphere, and sound design receive high marks, with many noting that it holds up well despite being an older title.
  • Replayability: While the main mission is short, users appreciate the potential for replaying missions and experimenting with different strategies in the sandbox environment.
  • Strong Setup for The Phantom Pain: Many reviewers view Ground Zeroes as an effective prologue that sets the stage for the narrative and gameplay of The Phantom Pain.
  • Single Map Design: The design of Camp Omega is noted for its depth and flexibility, allowing for varied approaches to missions.

The main cons of the game

  • Length: The game is criticized for being very short, with many users completing the main mission in around two hours. This brevity leads to perceptions of it being more of a demo than a full game.
  • Pricing Concerns: Many reviewers express that the game is overpriced for the amount of content it offers, suggesting it should be bundled with The Phantom Pain or sold at a lower price.
  • Repetitiveness: While the core gameplay is praised, some users mention that side missions can feel repetitive, as they often reuse the same map with different objectives.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Content Depth: Users feel that the game lacks substantial content beyond the main mission and a few side ops, making it feel incomplete as a standalone title.
  • Narrative Clarity for New Players: Some reviewers note that the story can be confusing for newcomers to the franchise, particularly if they haven't played previous titles like Peace Walker or Snake Eater.
  • Additional Missions or Modes: Several users express a desire for more missions or varied gameplay experiences to justify the purchase price and enhance replayability.

Summary

  • Overall, while METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES is recognized for its high-quality gameplay and presentation, it suffers from criticisms regarding its length and pricing, leading many to recommend it primarily as a prelude to The Phantom Pain rather than a standalone experience.
