The main character of this story is the warrior-ninja Raiden. The plot continues the story of Metal Gear Solid. Private military companies became independent after the collapse of the Patriots system. The main character, Jack, is a man who has long ceased to participate in battle. He has someone to worry about. He peacefully coexists with his wife and son. But this all changes at a certain point in time.
War does not let go so easily. After four years, the hero is once again called to action. He embarks on another mission in the vastness of Africa. He accompanies the Prime Minister. However, this mission fails as the convoy is attacked by enemies. The official dies. And Raiden suffers serious injuries. He loses his eye and arm. He is then taken to a hospital specializing in cybernetics and nanotechnology.
After a good upgrade, the hero is assigned a new mission. He will need to thwart the plans of the criminal organization Desperado Enforcement, unravel a global conspiracy, and save humanity. The plot is quite standard. However, the game does not end there.
There are no plot puzzles or references here. All attention is focused on one person. Players can think while reading and listening to dialogues. They just need to keep up with the essence of the conversations. The main question becomes determining who the character is: a human or a killing machine?
In the game, the gamer will have to wield a katana. It cuts through almost everything. One can enjoy slicing enemies in slow motion. It is also possible to destroy certain buildings and landscape details. There won’t be a wide variety of weapons here. The player will have to use a grenade launcher, grenades, and other elements.
It is important to learn how to parry and dodge attacks. One will also have to control the space, keeping an eye on enemy movements. It is crucial to choose the right moment and make the right move.
Stealth mode is also available here. It has some flaws, but they are not significant. Battles with bosses are also enjoyable. One will have to fight them in beautiful locations.
Powerful attacks won’t work here. To defeat a boss, one will need to develop tactics, dodge, and parry attacks. The reward for victory will be special weapons that can be upgraded later on. For example, one can obtain a colorful sword resembling scissors. Despite its slowness, it can deal good damage to enemies. When the player finds their favorite type of weapon, the game will shine with new colors.
This slasher is slightly different from other series. It is worth noting its attractive fast-paced gameplay. It is best to play the game in one sitting. As for the drawbacks, the graphics are somewhat outdated and there are camera glitches. However, over time, one can stop paying attention to these issues.
