DOKTOR, TURN OFF MY PAIN INHIBITORS

I'm not going to lie, I bought this game exclusively because I saw all the memes about it and knew them almost all by heart before playing BUT was I in for a shock when I discovered that this would soon become one of my favorite games ever.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is a lovechild collaboration between the kings of action and hack & slash in Platinum Games and Hideo Kojima's beloved and acclaimed Metal Gear IP. You get the best of both worlds here: the fluid and demanding combat of Platinum mixed with the obscure and convoluted lore of MG. Not only is the action in this game out of this world FUN to master and get a hang of, but the humor is leagues ahead of most games on the market and the political theory is honestly very interesting.

MGSR:R is the genesis of some memorable moments with some fairly interesting characters. Senator Armstrong, Monsoon, and Raiden himself have much more intrigue and depth to their character and ideals than just the viral moments.

I played this in a single eleven hour sitting and would definitely do so again.
