So today in post #9 I will be talking about my experience with METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE, I’ll keep this one short just like the game itself, I managed to finish it in just above 5 hours (According to the in-game save file data)
The game is a hack and slash type, Initially the game didn’t really click, It started out as being a “meh” experience for me, It was simple and the battle was too “loose” and didn’t really feel as tight as I expected it to be, But very quickly that feeling gave in to the enjoyment of it, When you start understanding it, chaining combos, blocking attacks and buying skills in the “customization” part you will not change it to anything, Something I especially liked about this game was a mechanic from one of my favourite games of all time NieR:Automata™, Arial battle! (If you’re confused about my playtime on steam just know that I have played Automata, Just not on steam :D I will soon start my project of completing both NieR games on steam), You can launch your enemies into the air and start hitting combos mid air, So much fun!!
Before I talk about the story I’d like to mention that I have never played any Metal gear games, So this Spinoff was my first of the franchise, The story was so cool! I really enjoyed every second of it, The game is a mixture of gaming and watching a movie, I really liked what they did with it, The characters are interesting to learn about and the dialogues are well thought out, It was just plain old good.
Do not, DO. NOT, Under any circumstances play this game without audio, This game has some of the best music you will ever hear in the entire history of games, I might be overexaggerating but I enjoyed it so much!!!!
I’m beginning to see a pattern here…. This whole game was just simply enjoyable, Also bonus dopamine if you’re into memes, It was fun stumbling across popular meme formats while seeing the cutscenes, I’d say it’s a must play for anyone! Just give it a shot! My score for it is 9/10!
Edit: In my first and only run (for now) I got 20 out of 60 achievements but I didn’t feel like replaying through the whole game a couple more times just to get 100%, Do what you will with this info.
Amazing review for an amazing game !
