A great platinum game but not much of a Metal Gear game

• Player Value: 8/10
Pros
+Fast pace action game like any other Platinum game with Metal Gear series style references and aspects
+5 Difficulty modes (Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Revengeance)
+Lengthy story mode that will take at least 12-15 hours and DLC stories that will take 3-4 hours
+VR Missions allow you to do challenges and re-do tutorial mode
+Cutscene theater (becomes unlockable once finished with story)
+Codec theater (allows you to listen to every interaction via COM - only unlockable once finished with story)
+Chapter select (allows you to go back to other levels to re-do them)
Cons
-Can get tedious due to QTEs which are mainly in boss battles
-Character progression is locked in difficulty, unlike other action games, cannot play different difficulties with character upgrades (i.e. finishing normal mode and going to easy mode/hard mode afterwards)
-DLC difficulty is higher than main story and with far less upgrades
-Environment designs look generic and bland
Score wise series comparison sake
