Revengeance is a continuation of the Metal Gear story, chronologically the latest entry into the canon. But in terms of sheer spectacle and satisfaction of play, it makes your Call of Dutys and your Battlefields look as dull as Ed Miliband's socks by comparison. It could be better still, as that uncompromising nature sometimes works against its expertly engineered combat system and brilliantly conceived action sequences. Not only is it a good port, it's a good port of one of the most refreshingly unrestrained, unhinged and uncompromising action games we've played in years. It's a sad state of affairs, as it means PC gamers are missing an entire culture of gaming from their history, and their experiences of bona-fide classics like Dark Souls or Resident Evil 4 may have been tarnished by a half-hearted transition.Īfter being released on console last year, Konami and co-developers Platinum Games recently unleashed the bizarrely titled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on the most enduring of platforms.

Japanese games don't get released very often on PC, and when they do the ports are all too often clumsy, rudimentary things.
