    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is Overly Ambitious

    It still feels weird to me that this is the last true Metal Gear Solid game we’re ever gonna get. Luckily, it’s a worthy send-off to the series. For the most part, at least. I have an extensive list of problems with this game. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is… weird. The core…
