#39. METAL GEAR SOLID 5: THE PHANTOM PAIN
A few years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine Metal Gear as an open world title- but Hideo Kojima does what Hideo Kojima wants. How well the open world was executed, and whether or not it required more time in the oven to be fully realized is still up for debate, but there’s no denying that The Phantom Pain at least provides a huge sandbox at 15.5 km2 to play around with its systems in.
