This is a really good rogue-like scifi space shooter. It's like 2D Bridge Commander with RPG elements.

I've played every game in the Metal Gear Solid series from the beginning, and I frankly think this game is a huge disappointment considering the hype and what it could have been. I'll break the Pros and Cons down:

Pros:

• Graphics are pretty good
  
• Voice acting is good
  
• The open world dynamics make the game interesting
  
• Environment is much more destructible than previous games
  
• Gameplay mechanics concept is a sound upgrade from Peace Walker
  
  Cons:
  
• Terrible (almost game-breaking) object collision issues. Rocky terrain is your worst enemy because your character somehow can't even scale the smallest of boulders, which can get you killed in an intense situation.
  
• Somehow they managed to make hugging walls and corners a lot worse. You'll encounter frustrating situations where you want to hug a wall/corner but can't, or just want to get to a specific place in a small room but end up hugging the wall instead.
  
• Unsatisfactory plot. The game plays out in chapters like in Peace Walker but the storyline is very choppy and frankly I did not find the ending satisfying at all. It's as if the game's plot was incomplete due to rushed production. Leaves more questions than answers in the end. You don't even get to fight the person you hope you'd fight in the game.
  
  Metal Gear Solid 4's and Peace Walker's strength was in their great ability to tell a story, not to mention smooth gameplay. Unfortunately, Kojima managed to make the plot so convoluted that certain story elements may conflict with those in the earlier games.

This is basically a Chinese GTA.
