Traditionally when you write a story, you want to set the scene, slowly raise tension until your plot climaxes, and you can slowly build down to an ending.

Metal Gear Rising does not care, and starts the story at its peak, and never lets go for a single second. It is always do or die, and when you think the game can't reach new heights, it does. The game is extremely over the top and funny, while also having deep and nuanced political commentary. You'll laugh at how absurd it is, and cry at how accurate it is at the same time.

This is probably one of the most fucked up games I have ever played, and is one I will remember for a very, very, very long time. Highly recommend.

Yessss! So glad you got to it! Did you do any more than the base playthrough? I remember it being a quick jaunt but having a ton of extra juice to it.
