Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Special Edition

About

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Special Edition is a fast-paced action game from PlatinumGames that swaps stealth for over-the-top combat. You play as Raiden, a cyborg with a katana, slicing through enemies in third-person brawler style. The game mixes quick-time events with fluid melee combos and gadget-based attacks, all set in a stylized open world. Combat is aggressive and chaotic, with a focus on finishing moves and environmental takedowns. The story follows Raiden’s quest for vengeance, blending sci-fi action with the Metal Gear universe’s signature cyberpunk flair. This Japanese-exclusive release bundles all post-launch DLC, including 30 VR missions, new weapon upgrades, and additional story content. Five new costumes for Raiden, like the MGS4 variant and Grey Fox skin, plus a custom theme and weapon unlocks extend the experience. While the base game remains a divisive entry in the series, fans of aggressive combat loops and PlatinumGames’ chaotic style might find value in the included extras. Released in 2013, it’s a niche package for those seeking a challenge and extra content.
