Metal Gear Survive
5 Best PS4 Co Op Games of Q1 2018
Konami received a great deal of flak for its spin-off title, Metal Gear Survive. Many fans of the series were outraged at what they considered a lack of respect for the lore of the series and the invention of a game that nobody really asked for. Metal Gear as a zombie survival game? It was certainly a strange choice of direction, but it actually works rather well as a co-op experience. In fact, it has some excellent ideas that are genuinely fun to play, especially in tandem with the game’s excellent Fox Engine.
While the campaign itself is disappointingly a single-player-only affair, the co-operative gameplay of its Salvage missions is quite entertaining. There has since been a new co-operative Rescue mission mode added, too, in which you’ll brave hordes of wanderers with a survivor in tow.
While there isn’t quite enough substance and narrative flair to Metal Gear Survive as a whole, there’s no denying that crafting items and killing zombies feels pretty great in the Fox Engine.
