Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Players assume control of Raiden, a katana-wielding cyborg. He is initially playable in his "Standard Body" form, which resembles the body used by Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4, but with a more natural looking face. The player can alter Raiden's appearance through alternative skins. Unlike previous titles in the Metal Gear series, where players try not to be noticed by enemies, Rising is action oriented, focusing on sword fighting and a sophisticated cutting system to fight and defeat enemies. Although Raiden's main weapon is his high-frequency blade, Raiden can wield weapons such as a dagger or a rocket launcher. Other subweapons can only be obtained after defeating the game's bosses. The game's cutting system allows players to engage in melee combat, as well as to precisely slash enemies and objects at will along a geometrical plane using the "free slicing" Blade Mode. Virtually any object in the game can be cut, including vehicles and enemies, though elements of the environment were intentionally limited to structures such as pillars and walls to better facilitate the game.

Some games start slow, build up to an epic climax and then finish.
Some games start great, but slow down rapidly as well until you are bored out of your mind.
Some games are a rollercoaster with ups, downs, vertical loops, corkscrews and all possible variations.
Then there are games, like metal gear rising, which reaches its peak 10 minutes into the campaign and afterwards never slows down. It is one constant adrenaline rush.
The campaign starts off with a short tutorial and after 5 minutes, you are already fighting a giant robot. You think you do not have any chance of defeating it, rules of nature start playing. Its lyrics is about hunters and prey. Then you slice the robot into pieces like its nothing. That adrenaline rush is better than drugs.
The only shortcoming of this title is that the combat is poorly explained imo and is only truly understood long into or at the end of the campaign. However, there is enough replay value to compensate for this and getting to understand its polished combat is unlike anything I have seen or played in any video game. With a simple yet very effective and powerful story to boot, definitely one of my favourite games.

You're wasting your money NOT buying this masterpiece. I would imagine it's easier to play on a controller, but it isn't bad on a keyboard and mouse.

Over-the-top action, novel cutting mechanic, incredible pacing, awesome bosses. Social commentary so cheesy it's essentially comedy. The memes about this game are not exaggeration, but taken from it verbatim. It's just _fun_, you need to play it.
The only weird thing about this game is, that day by day, it's becoming less and less of a parody.
...or perhaps it's me beginning to realize it never was a parody in the first place.

Cyborg ninja simulator and still well worth playing in 2024.
Fast paced satisfying combat and the graphics still looks nice.
Sick soundtrack, interesting and charismatic characters, epic cutscenes.
That's pretty much what you get with this game.
I already finished it on Xbox 360 when it came out years ago and I'm still enjoying it.
Overall it's a good game even though there's some really annoying and poorly balanced parts that can be very frustrating.
As a character action game METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE is fun but it's not as good as the Devil May Cry, Bayonetta or God of War games.
The PC port is decent but sadly there's a 60fps lock and the cutscenes are low quality.
Rating 7.5/10.
