“Kept you waiting, huh?”

The 2014 release shocked players with its tone. The cassette tapes revealed horrors: torture, child soldiers, and a specific, haunting ending that involved a bomb hidden in a very dark place. This wasn't the goofy charm of MGS3 . This was Vietnam war crime cinema. Just be prepared for the ending

Ground Zeroes was overpriced in 2014, but it was never a scam. It was an arthouse move by a developer who trusted the player to fall in love with a single square mile of real estate. It is the best "Level 1" in video game history.
