It's tactical espionage action. The genre is action-adventure with a focus on stealth mechanics. It's also filled with gimmicky bosses, and is a very fun series overall. It's got a unique blend of serious story and self-aware humor, and never takes itself too seriously. It's one of my favorite game series. I highly recommend you play it from the beginning. It's hard to describe the plot without burying you in spoilers. Most would suggest you to start with Metal Gear Solid (PlayStation, 1998), but the true beginning to the series is Metal Gear (MSX2, 1987). Or you could play them in canon chronological order starting with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PlayStation 2, 2004). The choice is yours.
insert complex storyline here
@Liquidfox I had way too much fun playing The Phantom Pain. Really good game.
@Liquidfox Oh, I forgot all about that. Now I wish I never sold my PS3!
@Liquidfox Yeah! I think the only one I haven't played yet is Peace Walker. I lost my PSP ages ago.
Uhhhh what's reedit ?
@Smasher There's a thread on Reddit (LINK) that does a pretty good job of quickly describing the entire plot.
@Sunnyskies I've played the first game already I'm just asking about the story so far from first game to last
