Metal Gear Survive
We completely understand that Metal Gear Survive is not a game anyone would’ve expected to be good. To be honest, we didn’t really expect much from the upcoming Konami title either, especially since Kojima was no longer part of the equation. But, the insane premise (surviving members of Militaires San Frontieres get sucked into an alternate dimension at the end of MGSV) and the frenetic gameplay actually make for what is a really good time.
Sure, it’s not your typical Metal Gear Solid, and if you were expecting that then you will be disappointed. But, if you were just looking for an insanely fun game set in the series’ universe that utilizes its mechanics, then Metal Gear Survive most certainly fits the bill. The gameplay is set up for multiplayer, but thanks to the large maps and inclusion of side activities, you can easily venture away from your team in order to have your own little adventure. There’s also a full gear system (which we, unfortunately, didn’t get a chance to check out), and even the inclusion of Metal Gears, although only the Walker Gear was present (it’s still neat). You can check out our preview of this surprise hit here so you can see just how much we enjoyed it and how it earned a coveted game of show award.
