![]() ![]() There's more than a hint of opportunism in how Metal Gear Survive apes a genre that was, until PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite came along, a surefire way to success on Steam, but that's not to say the execution isn't deft and, in parts, imaginative too. Codec cutscenes are back! Though in this case you suspect that's to allow Metal Gear Survive to come in on a budget considerably lower than Kojima's old weekly sandwich allowance. Start with a blunt stick and an empty belly, then struggle to stay alive until you've gathered enough resources and recipes so that stick might become something more powerful, and you've crafted a cooker and a farm so that you might never go hungry again. Like Acid and Rising, Survive veers away from the series' staple stealth action, instead offering its own spin on the likes of Rust and Ark that have proved so popular in recent years. ![]() ![]() Survive, despite the acrimony and apathy surrounding it, can be racked up as another spin-off that's half-decent. Some of those spin-offs - think the brilliant Ghost Babel on Game Boy, the eccentric Acid on PSP or PlatinumGames' Rising, a game so good it threatens to eclipse some of the mainline Metal Gears - have even turned out okay.
