![]() There are two main attacks, fast and soft, and the strong & slower one. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance opts for speed and immediacy. With your Katana, you are able to kill all kinds of enemies that are appearing in your path. This is what Metal Gear Rising should have been from the very beginning, and I’m glad that this is how it ended up. The MGRR gameplay is simple and amazingly addictive: just hit and cut all the time during your adventure. Look beyond that and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a wonderful blend of the Metal Gear universe and over-the-top action that is Platinum Games’ hallmark. ![]() The only real negative here is the wonky camera angles that occasionally suck the fun out of the game, but these instances are sporadic. You’ll also find the sometimes weird humour that Kojima is famous for. MGS games are known for their boss battles and the variety between them, and Revengeance doesn’t disappoint in that regard. To inflict further carnage, there’s Blade Mode, which temporary lets you enter slow-motion, allowing you to target enemies with more precision and brutality. It’s slice first and think later, so much so that even his parries only serve to set up more brutal attacks. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that combat here is tactical Raiden doesn’t have a cautious bone (or metal) in his body. Revengeance might be all flash and style, but the core combat mechanics are sound, placing an equal emphasis on defence and offense. ![]() Add to that the new styles and abilities that you pick up along the way, and your second go-around can be a complete different experience than your first. There are so many ways to dispatch each enemy offensive that the first time you do it, you’ll want to do it again in a more brutal and stylish, because the game will let you do that. ![]() While that is immensely enjoyable, there are several other gameplay mechanics at play here that not only make Revengeance a joy to play, but also a blast to replay. From the time the game was first announced, its hook was the ability to let you slice and dice enemies into numerous shapes and sizes of your choosing before their lifeless bodies hit the floor. From start to finish, the pace is frenetic and unrelenting, and there’s no filler material to speak of. Action games nowadays are getting shorter and shorter, but no action game in recent memory has managed to cram in as much insane quality into its single-player mode as Revengeance does. ![]()
