Picked this up a few days ago and have put about 14 hours into it. I never played the first four MGS games, but from what I've heard this game stands on its own pretty well. The gameplay is extremely good. Really loving the challenge of completing missions via full stealth, the progression of developing new weapons, upgrades, and your base. I've literally spent hours in a single mission just exploring the world, scouting enemy patrols, and looking for the best angle of attack. The only thing I'm not loving is the story. It's just... bizarre. Didn't expect all the supernatural stuff. I almost decided against buying after watching someone play through the prologue on Twitch. Fortunately the story elements seem few and far between so far. Anyway, really solid game.
