You've heard the main critiques of this game, and that is that the story was rushed because Konami put insane pressure over Hideo Kojima and his team. It sucks to get invested in this game so much for it to deliver a pretty subpar ending and final missions.

With that being said, this is probably one of the best Open World games money can buy for the PC. The controls are tight and responsive, the performance is fenomenal and will run smooth like butter if you tweak it to work on your hardware, and the gameplay is varied and insanely fun.

You will squeeze around 50-300 hours on this game depending on how much you get into it. Besides the single player shennaningas, there is also an "invasion" mode where you can invade other IRL players bases and steal their♥♥♥♥♥♥(Soldiers, containers with materials, vehicles) but they can also do the same and retaliate back at you. I personally didnt get much into this, but even without it I had a lot of fun.

There's also a Multiplayer mode to the game for actual PvP matches, but honestly, it came way too late for me and I had lost interest in getting into that mode when it did release in the PC version.

So, if you are looking for a fun Single Player experience, please consider getting this game. It's fun times ahead with this "Military base/Rambo" simulator (Stealth is always a very viable option, but honestly, the game is more action oriented than any past MGS) and you can squeeze hours of jolly old shennaningans if you buy it.
