However its framed, the waves of post-release critique surrounding the ninth and final instalment of Kojima Productions\u2019 techno-stealth thriller series often describes the game as brilliant despite it finding new and creative ways to dumbfound its audience, recontextualise plotlines and retcon character arcs along the way. These points of view are largely at odds with Metal Gear Solid V\u2019s near-universally perfect review scores. For the most part, reviewers praise The Phantom Pain\u2019s immersive open world, its innovative gameplay fostering player freedom. <\/p>\n<p>This feature isn\u2019t an attempt to demystify MGSV\u2019s discombobulating narrative though; there\u2019re already plenty of feature length analyses and series-spanning deep dives dissecting Metal Gear\u2019s tapestried narrative floating round the internet. No, instead, this feature places MGSV\u2019s prowess as a stealth title firmly between the crosshairs, taking aim at the strengths propping Big Boss aka Venom Snake\u2019s final foray as the zenith of stealth games. So, let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fragmentary, misunderstood masterpiece, meticulously crafted and laced with imperfection; a narrative half-r<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":493726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20976],"tags":[211033,30307,25238,23597,21845,21844,20984],"class_list":{"0":"post-493725","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ps4-games","8":"tag-a-look-back-at-metal-gear-solid-5","9":"tag-gamingbolt","10":"tag-metal-gear-solid-5","11":"tag-metal-gear-solid-v","12":"tag-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain","13":"tag-metal-gear-solid-vthe-phantom-pain","14":"tag-ps4-games"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
