One of the best stealth games I've ever played, period. And I've played a lot of them. I love stealth games. They're in many respects my favorite genre, and this game is right up my ally.

Now I didn't like the multiplayer. At all. The multiplayer still has many fun shenanigans like the singleplayer game, but it's far more of a run-and-shoot type of gameplay. The singleplayer is where this game really shines.

The story may be the weakest of all Metal Gear Solid games, but at least MGSV doesn't shove the story in your face and just lets you enjoy the game itself. That said, the twist at the end is still one of the best any game ever hit me with. After the prologue I knew some shenanigans were up, but the game successfully managed to lead me onto a completely wrong trail.

You can play this game for many, many hours without it ever getting boring. There's a lot of content and a lot of stuff to do. The stealth alone is fun enough that it never gets boring.

Also, it has a dog. Who you can recruit. As your ingame companion. Forget the mech, the horse, and the badass sniper (though functionally she's probably superior)—D-Dog is where it's at.
