METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN (PS4)

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN is an open-world tactical action game for PS4, published and developed by KONAMI. Snake, also known as Big Boss, wakes from a near-decade-long coma and sets out for revenge. The game is rated PEGI 18 and offers optional online play.

Revenge in the Cold War

The story takes place nine years after the events of MGSV: Ground Zeroes and the fall of Mother Base. Snake awakens from a coma that lasted almost a decade, and the game picks up in 1984 with the Cold War as the backdrop to a global crisis.

Snake's journey is driven by a need for revenge and the pursuit of a shadow group, XOF. The game explores mature themes such as the psychology of warfare and the atrocities that come from a vicious cycle of conflict, which is reflected in its PEGI 18 rating.
