Feb. 2025

This review is being written after 200+ hours and 100% the games achievements! My honest thoughts on MG Survive is that its not a bad game at all despite whats been said. story wise its easily 6-7/10 experience but gameplay/ multiplayer wise its definitely a 8.5/10. I enjoy the mechanics introduced to the already pretty smooth MGSV movement system. Adding with melee combat and weapon types each with its own intricate systems to fight the hordes of wanderers. id also like to mention i love that they somewhat brought back the food/ cure system from MGS3, sure its not the same exact system but it fills that survival role in this apocalypse scenario just fine. While Multiplayer is available still it is near impossible to find people to play with unless you do some asking around on the games discussion board, BUT when you do get some people to play with it is such a fun experience and makes some of those hard/extreme mission a breeze. (doing all the salvage missions solo was such a pain when it came to the harder missions, having at least 1 friend join makes a world of difference) Also can we take the time to mention that the story of MG Survive takes place around the small wormhole tech mechanic for MGSV: PP (and Nanomachines) and that its cool to see spin off games based of small mechanics like that. it doesnt even have to be canon and it works well imo! Alright so a few cons i gotta mention because the 100% grind was a PAIN The FOODIE achievement... PLEASE WRITE DOWN EVERY FOOD IN GAME AND BE SURE TO CROSS THEM OFF AS YOU GO. I actually had to re eat everything due to 1 food item not registering after eating it and it sent me on a multiple day irritating rampage of having to wait and eat every food again till the 1 specific food was found again... ughhhhhh The Proficient Achievement.... 280 MILLION KUBON ENERGY GRIND!?! weeks of casually getting on after work for about 3 hours a day just to get Kubon energy isnt so fun at times, BUT i did accumulate enough SV coin (the currency you use real money to get) passively from daily logins and the event reward missions to get the 7 day Kubon booster from the SV coin store to make the grind easier for a week. its almost needed if you wanna get this achievement done faster... The Surveyor achievement... i got this one fairly early but the amount of HUGGING the maps walls to get your pinkie toe to reach an "unexplored" tile was just annoying, some of them you gotta dolphin dive into walls just to get it to "explore" the tiles A final mention of one thing i saw alot of early reviews for the game say that kinda got on my nerves. DO NOT USE THE SPEAR CLASS OF WEAPON THE ENTIRE TIME PLAYING. yes its easy to put up a fence wall and just stab through it with the spear but i guarantee you will grow bored of it quick. there are 3 other melee classes to try with there own mechanics that are being over looked by the spears. Try and Learn the other weapon types in the game please! you wont be disappointed! Anyways thats my review of Metal Gear Survive. while it took me over 200 hours to 100% it, i still had fun and made a couple friends along the way when it came to looking for players in multiplayer. i hope Konami adds a feature where players can host matches with friends if they ever turn the servers off, but thats just me hoping!

It's not as awful as people made it out to be, but nothing amazing either. Konami's plan after firing Kojima was to shift their focus to mobile games, and it shows heavily here. I give it a 'mid' out of 10.

Nov. 2024

It's a decent game with a random story. In general alright for a zombie survival-like game that has kept me busy for a couple of hours atleast.

Oct. 2024

most MGS fans act like this game kicked their dog and shot their parents in front of them, does it have its problems? yes. but for a non-kojima spin off title? its pretty good.

May 2024

this game would be a lot better if wasn't called "Metal Gear Survive". Decent for this type of game, but once the story ends its pretty much dead. It sucks because this engine is pretty much going to die limp and cold in the hands of Konami. Shit will feel repetitive quickly, and don't expect any Kojima type story telling, but there is something in here that feels good. RIP Survive
