its metal gear so its Tactical Espionage Action...
But remove the Tactical Espionage because this ♥♥♥♥ is only the amazing and mind numbing action that comes from a hack and slash.

The only negative is that its way too short.

This game has one of the most satisfying and unique mechanics I've seen in a game: a dynamic cutting physics engine where you chop enemies into bits in real time.

The attack moveset is interesting, and you get 2 additional characters to play once you finish the main story.

There are, however, some cons that I wish could be fixed:


They're annoying to fight, and when they're together in a group, you'll get stunned a lot and then hit.
This may deter people in the early game, but as they continue playing, they will find out you just have to parry a lot to stun them and then insta-kill them.


The game doesn't explain the parrying mechanic very well.
You have to hold the directional input toward the enemy that is attacking and then press the attack button to parry.


I love completing my favorite games to 100%. When I finish the main story, I’ll play side missions or collect collectibles to squeeze more fun out of the game after I’ve finished it and loved it.

But this game is frustrating to 100%.
First, there are the VR missions. There's an achievement where you need to gain the highest rank in ALL VR missions, finishing them within strict time limits. This requires perfect precision in gameplay, and it becomes tiresome.

Also, you need to complete the game on Revengeance difficulty (the highest difficulty) with all missions at an S rank.
If you want to get an S rank, you can’t get hit a SINGLE TIME in any FIGHT .

These challenges are very annoying to complete.


When you get hit by the same enemy a lot, you'll sometimes get "dazed." You stay put, unable to attack, and you have to shake your left stick to recover.

But no matter how much you shake, you still remain stunned, and enemies always hit you in that vulnerable state.

This made me wonder if I'm not shaking my left stick hard enough, despite shaking it uncontrollably a lot.


In conclusion, it's a fun game, but some things could have been easily fixed.
I'm also confident in saying that this game is a near-perfect hack 'n' slash and easily in my top 10 games, but I wish they had fixed some of the nitpicks I've listed above.

I wanna be Sundowner when I grow up.
