The Phantom Pain reviews embargoed til Monday August 24

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain is coming to consoles and PC from September 1, 2015. It’s the first fully fledged Metal Gear game since Guns of the Patriots all the way back in 2008. So it’s kind of a big deal.

And we’re hoping that it will also be very good indeed. The first review came out of a French magazine yesterday and it scored 17/20 but it didn’t seem like a very in-depth breakdown of the game.

It also quite clearly broke the review embargo - which has been officially set at 9am on Monday August 24.
