6. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
It would be easy to simply write ”It’s a Metal Gear Solid game, you either like it or you don’t” here and leave it at that, but after seeing just how different and fresh the fifth installment is via Ground Zeroes it’s looking like The Phantom Pain may be the best MGS game yet.
From a bigger focus on freedom of choice when it comes to tackling missions to a completely overhauled movement system and even awesomely silly things like being able to have an eyepatch-wearing wolf as a partner, The Phantom Pain may just be the shot in the arm that the now 27-year old Metal Gear series needs.
