Game Insider: "With developer Platinum Games of Bayonetta fame at the helm, action, not exposition, is king in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, despite the seemingly irresistible pull of Metal Gear tradition to wrap a convoluted story around a PSA about the persistence of war. While the story can be a bit of a nuisance at times, the sheer joy Revengeance’s gameplay trumps any concerns regarding the sometimes intrusive storytelling, making it a refreshingly visceral take on a series that was built on stealth-action." 8.8/10
