If you’re in the mood for the best hack and slash action game on the market, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has just turned ten years old, it’s having a huge Steam sale, and it looks like it won’t. hasn’t aged a day. A spin-off that I can’t recommend highly enough, this sale is the perfect excuse to get a taste of one of the greatest cult classics at an incredibly low price.
Both a spin-off and a sequel to Hideo Kojima’s creation, Metal Gear Rising focuses on the cyborg character Raiden and trades the series’ stealth for high-octane action. Developed by PlatinumGames, who also created Bayonetta, Neir Automata, and Vanquish, the over-the-top delivery of the entire game has remained relevant for a decade.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is 75% off on Steam until February 27, with the action game priced at $7.49 USD (£4.99 GBP). The Steam sale is part of Metal Gear Rising’s 10th anniversary, even though the PC version was released in 2014.
Metal Gear Rising is a game that’s all about bombarding your senses, with the ability to take down enemies in slow motion, boss battles that rival the drama of Dragon Ball Z, over-the-top characters, and music that’s sure to give kicking off every fight at 11. I played Metal Gear Rising for the first time last year, and can confidently say that it not only holds up, but is also a must-have for all video game fans.
You don’t even have to understand Kojima’s decades-long history of Solid Snake, because Metal Gear Rising takes place after all of that and strives to tell its own tale. The whole game is worth it for the final boss with Senator Armstrong alone, because all the music, dialogue, and mechanics come together to create the best ending in the game, period.
The anniversary was even celebrated by the director and composer of Metal Gear Rising, but the lack of news from the series in general may bother many of us, especially after something Metal Gear Rising-related was teased at the beginning of this year.
“Ten years after the game’s release, my most recent memory regarding all things gaming is seeing Armstrong and Sam appear in so many memes around the world,” Metal Gear Rising director Keni Saito said in celebration. the birthday. “It seems unreal that Metal Gear Rising is still a talking point a decade later.”
