Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It offers players new sneaking and traversal methods compared to its predecessors, as well as the choice in what order the story events take place by selecting missions in advance. The most important change for this title is the shift to an open world design with a real-time day and night cycle, doing away with the linear mission approach of previous games. The game is the first segment of the Metal Gear Solid V experience and the first Metal Gear Solid title with open world gameplay. How each mission is carried out is up to the player, who can sneak through an entire mission or go in with guns blazing, and each approach has different effects on consequences and advancement. There is a central story mode and Side-Ops missions that range from tactical action and aerial assaults to covert missions. The interface is a clean in-game HUD that shows a minimal amount of on-screen data. The game supports full controller input and Steam Cloud.
