plays like a dream, has really good presentation and feels packed with interesting content. But it feels really tonedeaf and awkward for me to have hideo kojima give me a cassette tape after saving him in a silly side mission and than having it contain audio from a 13 year old boy and 16 year old girl getting tortured

its cool for kojima to want to show more serious subject matter in a series that already has done that for about 6 other games at this point but it still feels like tonal whiplash at times

otherwise ground zeroes is really good though and aside from a moment like that the subject matter is handled really well i think and the goofy stuff is otherwise seperate and just there to be fun
