A look at the credits reveals a mixture of Konami developers old and new, some who worked on the brilliant Metal Gear Solid 5, others who are working on the series for the first time. The game will release in Europe on February 22.Metal Gear Survive is something on an enigma - a spin-off from its illustrious predecessor, that pushes the franchise into a whole new direction. Metal Gear Survive is available now in the United States for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Perhaps blood-sucking monsters have a place. Though there haven’t been literal zombies in a Metal Gear game before, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots did feature a boss who was essentially a vampire. When Metal Gear Survive was announced in 2016, series creator Hideo Kojima expressed his confusion, questioning why Konami would insert zombies into a series known for espionage. Fences and other obstacles can also be created to defend against zombies on the fly, but you must monitor your hunger and thirst levels in order to make it through missions in one piece.

Combat is a mix of third-person shooting like we’ve seen from the series before, as well as melee attacks. Though Survive is certainly a departure from the other games in the series, it does still have some focus on stealth, and players can even send zombies up to their base as they did with soldiers in The Phantom Pain. He was also unable to resume playing without completely relaunching the game from his console’s home menu. Giant Bomb’s Jeff Gerstmann was disconnected from the game as it was saving, only to find that his progress was lost. Other issues related to the game’s online connectivity have also arisen. She also criticized the game’s uninteresting side activities, as well as its tedious first few hours.

Writing for IGN, Chloi Rad called the world “bland,” and a “mediocre base-building action-survival game” even when ignoring Survive‘s gaping plot holes.
