Now that the sting of a Kojima-less Metal Gear has passed, and with it being on Game Pass, I want to make a case in favor of Metal Gear Survive.

Tbh, it ties in really closely with the MGSV titles and the main plot points of this game are enjoyable and serve the universe well, imo. The game certainly plays a little differently from most MG titles (though the second act of this game really demands effective use of stealth) but it is very Metal Gear-y in ways other than that.
I pretty much agree. I loved Survive, the story is easily as absurd and Metal Gear feeling as any previous entry in the series. Its a different kind of stealth and core gameplay loop than the other metal gear game's but it's still there in spirit.
I legitimately reinstalled this yesterday.
IMO even if it's free, you can still find much better things to do with that time. A free MG Survive against a good $60 game is a no-brainer
Also, this is coming from someone who would put Don't Starve, No Man's Sky, and The Forest in the top 10-20 games this gen

Picked it up after this thread provided the final serving of impetus. Keen. MGS tacticool aesthetic elevating crafting and survival sounds good to me.
just looked and its at $9 on amazon, decided to get it along astral chain. Those creatures seem really cool
I enjoyed it enough to finish the story, but not enough to stick around afterwards. The survival aspects got to be too much for me from what I remember, especially in the post-game. And I was really disappointed that co-op is so limited until you've played the game solo for quite a while, because the co-op missions were what I was really interested in. But again, by the time I finished the story and was able to do a lot of stuff in co-op, I'd more or less already had my fill of the game.
That said, I do think it's worth playing, especially for a cheap price. It is fun, but you really have to be okay with the survival genre.

Same. It's on sale on PSN right now for $12 (with PS+), so that's a pretty good price for something I've always been curious about.
Thanks for the thread, OP!
I picked it up at the last Steam sale and finished the campaign yesterday. It was fine. It filled a hole. Managed to avoid most of the pitfalls of online survival games. No grinding. There is actually no reason why it needs to be always online.
If you ever wanted a game set in Stranger Thing's Upside Down then this is pretty much it. Demogorgons and Mindflayers to boot.

Bounced off this game really hard. I love Kojima though I see no reason a good Metal Gear game couldn't be made without him but this ain't it y'all.
I'm intrigued and might give it a go when it's on sale, but the bad press was beyond it being a Kojima-less Metal Gear game.
Are they still charging for extra save files?

Metal gear is my favourite game, I never plan on playing survive
Also, congrats to the few guys in here claiming it's better than death stranding (before its even released)
Disappointing

Just wanted to chime in and say that I finished the main campaign today. I absolutely loved this game. And I don't feel like I want to be done with it yet so I'll probably stick around and do some of the post-game stuff. It is a bit lame that most of the higher level gear can only be obtained in co-op, which is essentially dead, but I'll see how much of it I can do solo and hopefully get some decent gear. Aside from that I think my only real complaint is that they could have done so much more with the single player campaign. By the time you finish the game, you'll have uncovered less than half of both maps. I know it was only a $40 game at launch, so a ~30 hour campaign is actually pretty good, but it feels like it could have been a lot more than it is. Still loved it despite that, though.
But yeah, this game's great IMO, and I wish I'd have picked it up much sooner.
