I finished the game just a couple of nights ago, the whole play through clocked in at around 6-7 hours but you could probably knock 2 of those hours off since I was faffing about with the VR missions for a good bit, there is a bit of replay value mind but mostly only in regards to the aforementioned VR missions.

The free cutting mechanic as well as being really fun to pull off, is used a lot during boss fights, I won't go into detail but the final boss really does put your skills to the test, so if your like me and you haven't completely mastered the free cutting mechanics before reaching the end boss you will have by the time you actually manage to beat the bloody boss.

Thanks for reading my user review and please feel free to post a comment, thanks again.
There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.
I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.
It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.
Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.
This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.
I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.
kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.
Hence i said script
i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements
Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.
Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.
Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.
i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.
i think its not easy to replicate.
I doubt it could.
Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.
I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.
Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.
Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.
Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!
In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance launched 10 years ago today, with a name that made no sense then and still makes no sense now.
I don't agree with you on the 7.5 for gameplay, this game is the best ninja game I have ever played and Blade Mode is just genius. The gameplay is very well done and reviewing it on it's own merits I would give it a 9. Platinum Games did a great job here. I also don't understand how everyone just plows through this game so fast, they must be playing it on easy or using some kind of help. I'm 8 hours in and I still haven't finished it, though I have replayed a few sections. I think the game is extremely challenging, addicting, and has quite a bit of replay value as well. For me, this game is nothing less than a 9 overall. I definitely agree with you on the soundtrack and cutscenes/boss battles, good review.
Good review, I will correct two things though (minor).
There is slight depth in it in the sense Blade Mode cancels just about out of any animation along with the Defensive Offensive moveset; though like you said no where near in depth as in DMC3 or Bayonetta which is what I was expecting from a Platinum game of this caliber.
Like you said there is no lock on button since they opted for an automatic lock on choice (a poor choice I believe on their part) what they seemed to incorporate a little bit more was a camera focus lock on which if I was to describe any other instance of this control would be in the Kingdom Hearts series.
I've made my own comparison video of the issues with the targeting system in Rising here:

There is a movelist in the game however it is very well hidden (same with the chapter select), when you pause the game go to the "HELP" menu which will list your movelist.
