The Bottom Line
The Phantom Pain, the final Metal Gear game from Hideo Kojima, is one of the best stealth games ever conceived. The story doesn't match the usual excellent Metal Gear Solid standard, but the game's interlocking pieces are exquisite.

Prior to its release, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ($39.99), the final Hideo Kojima-helmed entry in the long-running stealth-action series, was touted as the prequel game that would close the loop on the nearly 30-year-old series. But while The Phantom Pain has all the surface trappings of a Metal Gear game—a hulking mech, super-soldier battles, and ramblings about the nature of armed conflict—its tale of loss and revenge actually raises more questions than it answers. Still, from a pure gameplay perspective, The Phantom Pain is an huge achievement, and one of the best PC games when it comes to stealth. You can also play Metal Gear Solid V on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and last-generation consoles.

In terms of story, The Phantom Pain begins nearly a decade after the series began in the standalone Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes($16.99 at Amazon), with a hospitalized Big Boss waking from a coma as the David Bowie song “The Man Who Sold the World” blares. The mercenary leader”s body is severely damaged from XOF”s attack, as depicted in Ground Zeroes” closing moments, and the villainous organization is on his trail to make sure that the legend doesn”t come back to life.

A Metal Gear Solid game is always good for twists and turns, so we won”t spoil what happens during The Phantom Pain”s opening moments. We”ll say this, though: This one of the strongest kickoffs in video game history, complete with high tension, nightmarish imagery, Moby Dick allusions, and a mysterious, bandaged figure (voiced by 24“s Kiefer Sutherland) who helps you evade enemy soldiers. This tutorial sequence is thrilling, though a bit long. It introduces new mechanics and characters, while bringing back familiar faces from past Metal Gear Solid games.
