Metal Gear Rising was my first Metal Gear game (if we don't count the demo for MGS3D on 3DS) and so far it has been by favorite in terms of combat and music, the combat is super fluid, kinetic, and over all just super badass! and when you've gotten good at it you feel like a master at it! being able to parry attacks left and right, and this game probably has my favorite bosses in any action game, from Mistral to the final boss Senator Steven Armstrong, all of these bosses, there themes hit me in the right spots, speaking of which I adored the music in this game, from tracks like Rules Of Nature, A Stranger I remain and Hot Wind Blowing all of these songs are bangers! I even listen to them separately when I'm doing unrelated stuff, I consider this to be my favorite Metal Gear game so far and I since I have no problems with this game I'd say it's deserving of a 5/5 stars, if you like action games I highly recommend giving this one a shot! (seriously fuck Konami for not allowing MGR2 to happen)
