METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE PS4 SERIES

It genuinely baffles me that this game doesn’t use all four face buttons in combat. Furthermore, the controls are extremely unintuitive with too many actions stacked on top of the same 3 buttons.

MGR’s combat is very limited with only a handful of basic combos and a handful of upgrades that only marginally expand your options. Needless to say after such a troubled development it’s a wonder they managed to ship the game at all, but to be brutally honest it probably would have been better if they didn’t.įirstly I’d like to take a moment to apologize to the gameplay of Yakuza Kiwami as in my review of that game I wrote: “While there is some depth to be had here, it’s not on the level of other action games like Devil May Cry or literally anything Platinum Games has ever made.” Having now played Metal Gear Rising I can safely say “literally anything Platinum Games has ever made” was far too broad a statement because I think Yakuza Kiwami had better action than this game. However, development wasn’t working out the way they hoped and Konami quietly scrapped the project and exported development to Platinum Games where it would undergo a drastic change in direction. Originally Metal Gear Rising was being developed in-house by Metal Gear publisher Konami as a prequel to Metal Gear Solid 4 that would tell the story of how Metal Gear Solid 2 protagonist Raiden became a cyborg ninja (no that is not a joke) while also experimenting with a brand new physics engine.

Hold onto your butts because you’re about to find out.īefore I dive into the game proper however, there is a bit of history to its development that I think is important to understanding the end product. Recently a spin-off of Metal Gear Solid from 2013 entitled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance gained a fair bit of traction thanks to a surge of internet memes. I haven’t played most of the games personally, but I have picked up a fair bit of second hand knowledge perusing gaming forums, wikis, and crossovers like Super Smash Bros. Many have praised these games as visionary masterpieces, but just as many have criticized them as pretentious hack-jobs. The original top down stealth games from the late 1980s and early 1990s remain in relative obscurity, overshadowed by the cinematic action of Metal Gear Solid and its sequels that took the world by storm in the late 90s and throughout the 2000s.
