Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the best-reviewed new game of 2015

Hideo Kojima went out on a high.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the last collaboration between series creator Hideo Kojima and publisher Konami, has topped Metacritic’s game-of-the-year chart. The popular review aggregator site reports that The Phantom Pain scored an average of 95 out of 100 for its Xbox One version. That’s actually one point less than Grand Theft Auto V on PC, but that version is classified as a port, not a new game (and is therefore ineligible for Metacritic’s end-of-year honors).
