Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Hideo Kojima is one of the few big budget auteurs in the games industry, and after more than twenty years and an apparent feud with publisher Konami, his work on the Metal Gear series seems to have come to an end with Metal Gear Solid V. If this truly is Kojima’s last performance with the franchise, it’s a hell of a note to end on, as MGSV refines the series’ signature stealth gameplay to near perfection, while expanding the the setting from confined military bases to an open world.
