Big Boss wakes from a coma and builds a private army while hunting the men who destroyed his base, across Afghanistan and Africa. It's an open-world stealth sandbox with near-total freedom in how you take each mission.
Kit's verdict · 8.8/10
The best stealth sandbox ever made, with an unfinished story.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Huge freedom in how you approach missions
- Mother Base management is addictive
- Buddies like D-Dog add depth
Not so much
- Story feels unfinished
- Repeated missions in the second half
Play it if stealth fans who love experimenting with tools.
Skip it if players who want a tight, complete story.
