It's definitely my least favourite of the Kojima helmed games, in retrospect.
The mechanics and controls are super nice but the gameplay loop itself gets old pretty quick. I agree with what Aragorn said about how Delta feels like it has more variety despite being way more limited.
The open worlds feel really depressing to roam around in because of how lifeless they feel. It would've been kind of cool if they threw some civilians in the towns to get at least some kind of personality in it's world. Instead of the only inhabitants being soldiers and animals. I get that Kojima wanted to take the series to a new genre, I feel like the very last game in the series was the wrong time to get experimental.
For me the story is the most disappointing thing. The more I replayed it, the more unfinished and sloppy it felt. I also still really dislike Snake's VA change, I think Kiefer Sutherland really phoned it in and Kojima trying to make him the "strong silent" type of protagonist just made it seem like Kaz and Ocelot really ran Diamond Dogs and that Snake was a glorified operative
