Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
All this game really does is have Cyborg "Raiden" chop up MGS2/4 Raiden into chunks and say "OH WE'RE DONE HERE" and then explode any character development he had, the only thing that could have made this game's shitty story okay is if it was a prequel to 4, which was the original plan.
Most of the hype behind this game is not very deep, it's just about the boss fights, you sink into the game and most of what it has going on sucks, the point-to-point gameplay is bad and repetitive, the sub weapons are terrible and none of the codecs are worth interacting with, a first for the series.
What you're getting here really is just the boss fights and the funny one-liners they say in those cutscenes, the story is a shallow mockery of what literally every other game in the series (maybe not 5) does elegantly, by just being way too short and not having any depth to it, you could water the story down to "Raiden kills War capitalists" and all you'd be forgetting is the "dude is killing OKAY" parts that totally disregard the gameplay, and get answered in the story with "well no but i like it anyway xP"
The boss fights aren't very interesting either, it's all style no substance, you're just mashing parries until you enter the "ooo im so tired" phase rinse and repeat, at best sometimes they introduce a gimmicky mechanic.
This is the only spin-off that is in any way canon, unless you count PW, which you shouldn't, and it is by far the WORST falling behind even a game as flawed as 5, it exemplifies how little it takes to have something catch on in the modern times, you just need something really cool that can be consumed in a vacuum, it doesn't matter if it's a bad overall product, everyone will just remember the one cool part.
The damage this does to actual polished up indie titles is catastrophic, you'll see people talking about indie games in development being kind of cool, you look to see what it is and it's a game where you can parry literally everything, that's the only reason why it's "cool", Fucking rubbish.
Play the actual MGS games, (1-PW) they're amazing games with the original trilogy being some of the best games ever made in their genre, if not some of the best games ever.
