“Our favorite part of this game is the variety in missions, with each giving something new to interact with, and a simple rule set that takes the solid core framework in a new direction.”

“Turns out my long-held opinion on video game adaptations doesn't apply here. CMON's latest effort is both very close to the original and extremely well done.”

“Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game successfully distills much of the tactical espionage action from the video game into an engaging and challenging board game adaptation. The gameplay and miniatures are the stars of the show, striking a great balance between creativity and strategy.”

“Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game doesn't make any waves in the cooperative tactical mission game space, but for fans of the source material, give this a look.”

“I have mixed feelings; rules and the explanations of how these bad guys sort of have priority and turn and maneuver is a little bit messy. However, it does do a great job of bringing this IP to life.”(16:14)
