Sixty seconds later the outpost has been smothered in sleeping gas delivered via artillery shell and the guards are all snoring loudly, leaving you free to continue on your way. Instead of going loud, though, you call in a support strike from your staff back at the base. The fourth MGS V is the game where you’re maybe having difficulty with a certain strongpoint or guard post. Then you attach a balloon to them so that they can float into the stratosphere to be collected by a plane and taken back to your floating oil rig base, where they’re brainwashed into joining your own personal private army for hire.

The *third* MGS V is the game where you don’t quite eschew stealth, you simply go about it in a different way: sprinting towards guards at full speed and punching them into unconsciousness with your bionic arm before they can react and sound an alarm, complete with “Whuh-nuh-nuh-nuh!” Six Million Dollar Man sound effects.

MGS V makes no judgements except for certain withheld bonuses in your end-of-mission score. You can play it like a classic third-person shooter almost the entire way through if you want. Its weapons handle well and have a real sense of heft and impact about them, while its guards are a genuine threat if there’s more than two of them shooting at you. Perhaps you’ve been spotted during a stealthy infiltration, or perhaps you made a conscious decision to start the mission loaded for bear – either way, MGS V handles firefights almost as adeptly as it does stealth. The second MGS V is the game where you go loud.

You spend a lot of your time in MGS V crawling on your belly through high grass and behind obstacles, hoping the guard who caught a glimpse of you loses interest, and with your silenced tranquiliser pistol prepped as a backup in case he doesn’t. The key gameplay element of the MGS series has always been stealth, and it’s true that MGS V has the single most finely-tuned stealth system since the inception of the genre. The first game is the one in the screenshot below. Metal Gear Solid V is several AAA titles’ worth of game, all improbably rolled into one product.
