GameCritics (290 KP) rated Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in Video Games

Sep 21, 2017

Staggeringly deep open-world with huge variety of strategies and item upgrades (4 more)

Impeccable production values and haunting audio

The most-accessible MGS game yet

Ingenious game-structure-as-metaphor with philosophical depths

Attaching an upgraded fulton balloon to *anything*

Intense pacing from initially daunting to incredibly tough (0 more)

MGS5 is a masterpiece. It's hard to imagine another AAA game that will be allowed a five-year development cycle, yet feel so completely the work of one man. A game where you can visit a prisoner's cell and hear Joy Division

Still a masterpiece!

The first time I saw Hellraiser I was amazed and disgusted simultaneously which doesn't happen too often when going to the movies nowadays.

I was thoroughly mesmerized by the gothic world Clive Barker had created and the interesting, yet enigmatic characters he created. The film has a unique look which is impressive considering the low budget.

I can see how those seeing it for the first time now would consider some of the optical effects dated by today's CGI perfection standards, but the ideas and themes are still compelling.

I have revisited often when I want a good creep.

The greatest animation made

If you haven't seen this just stop. Stop reading this and watch it. It is absolute perfection. It is the only film I watched and then watched it again straight after. No wonder it won an Oscar it is a masterpiece.
Based on Japanese folklore, Spirited Away doesn't treat it's audience dumb like Disney often does. It doesn't limit its imagination, it continues to push it's imagination and concepts to the ones from dreams and becomes hypnotic and beautiful. Go and watch it.
