METAL GEAR SURVIVE

MGS gets a bad rap for a few good reasons which I won't rehash here except to say that this isn't MG6 or anywhere close to it and if you don't go expecting that you might actually enjoy what is there. And that would be what I found to be a good open world survival horror type game with a distinctive silent hill vibe (when you go into the dusty zones you'll see what I'm talking about).
The story is functional and you meet the usual quirky NPCs that Japanese devs are known for, which I found fun enough and with the proper mindset its enjoyable enough for what it is (takes itself very seriously but its quite campy and over the top at times). If you like action RPGs with base building and exploration of a well made map I'd recommend you give this game a go (it's a bit like fallout 4 but with more of a survival horror focus).

Shouldn't be called Metal Gear. If Kojima really did have these ideas for this game, I'm glad he made the better version with Death Stranding. I enjoy this game, but it isn't a Metal Gear game, just a guilty pleasure.

Its pretty good, shame it's made by konami
It feels very capcom if that makes sense, story is full of campy moments and alot of happy coincidences but still knows how to create good set pieces and is chopped full of moments that genuinely gave me goosebumps.
Story itself is serviceable for the most part, Most dialogue is told through static screens with text with the occasional image which sucks and what cut scenes there are, are mostly just action sequences.
The single player story took me about 18 hours to get through, and that was with little to no grinding outside of missions, After that there's still the endgame with several new bosses and a coop mode to sink your teeth into so all in all, good value i would say.
Gameplay wise, I'm in love with survive, Considering how overplayed the zombie and survival genre's are, I was surprised how well the fox engine handled both, Progression and enemies are handled very nicely, you'll start off with nothing but a weak makeshift spear, which does fine early on but feels clunky and doesn't deal well with multiple foes, As you level up, you become more fluid in combat, able to dodge, counter and deal longer combo's with more damage, you'll slowly upgrade your arsenal, making use of bow's, machetes and much coveted guns. Despite this however, enemies still pose a threat to you, even at the higher levels with tons of good gear, miscalculating an attack and missing or not staggering an enemy can quickly knock off your health.
Early on you'll only have to deal with a handful of enemies at a time, once you get to the second area, you'll quickly be swarmed from almost all directions, 20 enemies at a time, objectives will start to have hordes around them, and special enemies thrown into the mix, It's a difficulty curve I really like to see, It stops the game becoming a cakewalk and keeps the game feeling challenging without feeling cheap or unfair.
Music in general is great, some tracks are reused from TPP and some or ripped from other konami games, but what is new and original sounds amazing, especially near the end there's a great rendition of the metal gear theme.
In my time I only saw a handful of area's straight copy'd and pasted from TPP which is good and what is reused is done as a subtle nod or reference to that game, though 90% of the assets in this game are ripped straight from TPP which does make the world feel like a rehash.
I didn't encounter any bugs whilst playing, so all good there.
However, Survive is not perfect, to me there are 2 massive issues that make this a tough game to recommend, Firstly, It's an always online game, This is don't fully understand, The game has a singleplayer there's no need for it to be online only, Secondly The game only saves when your at your base camp, On it's own, I would love this mechanic, Would feel super hardcore and just add to that fight or flight feeling you get from going against hordes of enemies, however when paired with it game being always online, ANY disconnection to the server, whether it be on your or konami's end, regardless of time will wipe any progress you might have made whilst on a mission or expedition, This has happened several times, often for no reason and it's the single most frustrating thing about this game. Minor spoilers but the last boss fight in the story takes about 20 minutes of near non stop combat to defeat, any disconnection to the server means you have to replay that from the start, which happened once for me and made me want to stop playing.
The fox engine still looks great though dark environments still look really washed out and band considerably
Overall I would say, I enjoyed survive, It feels more like a mod or labour of love than an actual game, I wouldn't pay full price for it, so probably check it out if it's on sale.
I also would like to say this was the first game I was dying to see the credits more, just to see how many people worked on it and to no surprise, there weren't many, Congrats to the people who made this game, It's one of the better survival zombie games I've played, It's a shame it had to be poisoned by konami's greed, incompetence and reputation

Not as bad as people made it out to be. Bought this on sale with a couple of friends and I'd say we got our money's worth.
The story sucks but the gameplay loop is actually fun and the co-op missions and progression is fairly deep.
It's too bad Konami built it like a mobile game with shitty timers. Having 20 hours between each wave is a huge turn off and I stopped playing at that point. But getting there was fun enough and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
At %80 off and some friends you could have a great time.

While not a "true" metal gear game, it has solid survival mechanics, a little grindy, and some things are time-gated. I had fun and definitely got some hours put into it, much more fun with with friends.

Wasn't even that bad, but it has really much grinding.
