The game is set sometime between the events of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, after the enemy military unit XOF destroyed Mother Base towards the end of Ground Zeroes. In Metal Gear Survive, you take on the identity of Captain, a character whom you can fully customize. That said, the co-op gameplay is a bright spot and some missions spur enjoyable moments, but those don't do enough to save the experience. In fact, I only made it about 10 hours into the single-player campaign before giving up on it. Still, I came away disappointed with its convoluted mechanics, repetitive gameplay, and bland overall aesthetic. As a complete newcomer to the series, I went into this review with an open mind. Notably, this PC game does not advance or affect the main Metal Gear Solid storyline, so you won't miss anything important if you decide to skip it. Metal Gear Survive is only the latest entry in the storied Metal Gear series, but it's the first after Hideo Kojima's controversial departure.
