The title for a game was never more appropriate, The Phantom Pain is massive, it lets you approach it in so many ways you will want to try every mechanic.
Despite that the game is unfinished.
It gives you closure to some questions that were left unanswered from the previous titles, but leaves you wanting more because what should be there is just missing.
Many discredit this game, they wanted Snake's last hurrah, a game driven by his endless charisma, but Venom is not like that.
He's quiet, almost too quiet, but also a man capable of great empathy who cares far more for those around him than he lets on, and struggles with the same Phantom Pain as the player.
