The one-handed weapon is the basic all-rounder, while the heavy two-handed weapons deal an enormous amount of damage and clear the Wanderers in a few heavy hits, although it greatly reduces speed and movement. There are different weapon types that allow different play styles. Metal Gear Survive does do a terrific job of raising the intensity, while throwing major curveballs to see what people are willing to do to survive. Some of the most harrowing moments are when the countless Wanderers are chasing you down, while the lead's thirst dips low due to the state of panic. They are basically mindless zombies who are easy to sneak around but are hard to contain once they are alerted to your presence, especially when they attack in packs. This deserted environment is home to the horrors that are called the Wanderers. After getting sucked into a whirlpool, the main character is left in a new world called Dite. The story is minimal compared to the Metal Gear Solid releases that fans have come to expect by now.
While it does make the game a challenge to enjoy, this aspect requires a lot of time and patience to get it under control with a plethora of cooked meats and plenty of clean water bottles in the inventory for those moments of dire need. No sooner does the main character eat, the hunger and thirst meters are low again by the time the main mission objective has been reached. While the whole concept is great, the bars lower so quickly that it puts The Sims to shame. This constant need to ensure that hunger and thirst is well-met is further impacted by the speed rate of which the meters drop. Getting food is a little easier, and it involves either picking at berries found near the lakes, or slaying bovines and wolves for meat, and then heading back to Base Camp to cook it to further avoid illness. While later on there is the introduction of water purifiers, for the opening stages, drinking dirty water and getting sick is the name of the game. To make matters worse, the dirty water has a chance to inflict ailments, which hamper the main character's performance in a variety of ways. It is a rough opening, as the food is not plentiful, and the only beverage that can be drunk en masse is dirty water found in creeks and poured out of dirty taps.
Throw in the immediate lack of food and liquid, and that basically encompasses the entire experience. Keeping these meters high increases the efficiency in combat, while sneaking around, and dodging enemy attacks quickly lowers them. The tension is further heightened by the lack of immediate resources, and the ever-dwindling thirst and hunger meters. Traversing the world in hidden silence and sneaking around mindless zombie-like enemies is a terrifying experience. The great news about this open-world game is that it is one of the better survival horrors out there.
