The open environment and ever-looming threats make Metal Gear Solid V feel simultaneously expansive and intimate. I only had one hour to play, but I could already feel how immersive the game gets in full swing.
Myopically focused on my target in the distance, I bungled around a corner and right into a guard post, and before I could react my horse was dead on the ground, followed shortly thereafter by me. The lack of a clear boundary for mission areas means that you have to be cautious when making your way across the map. Fortunately, when the firefight broke out, there were only a handful of soviet soldiers with terrible aim hanging out in that sleepy village, so they were quickly dispatched, and I found the intel that pointed me to where exactly my target was being held.įrom there it was onward to a much more heavily-guarded fortress for the rescue. Zooming in on a guard tags them both in your view and on the map, so it pays to take your time and try to scope out everyone. That’s the advice I would have given myself if I could travel back in time to a few minutes before I walked right into a guard I’d missed hiding behind a wall. I gave the village a wide berth, riding around to the other side where a ridge overlooked it so I could get a better view with my binoculars.
