Like Ground Zeroes, The Phantom Pain’s PC port is really well-optimised. Graphics options: 4K resolution, V-sync, motion blur, depth of field, model detail, texture settings, texture filtering, shadows, lighting, post processing, effects, ambient occlusion, volumetric clouds Nothing boring ever happens when it does. But when the controls are this good, when your tactical options are so extensive, it’s in no way a bad thing to be part of these escalating, huge-scale battles, which offer the sort of moment-to-moment thrills most action games would struggle to script. Some hardcore players will never want to find themselves in that position: Metal Gear has always been a stealth-focused series, after all. I’ve had to hide from swarming troops and mortar fire behind buildings, patting my dog for reassurance while I call in more ammo drops, preparing for my second wind as the night turns into morning. Nighttime battlefields fill with smoke, flares and explosions. I’ve had weird and wild battles of unending nightmare gunfights across giant bases, battling reams of soldiers, mechs and even a chopper as an ill-equipped one-man-and-a-dog army. The punishment for a stealth mission going wrong is an exhilarating set piece in a constantly surprising open world.
