My wife took a nap this evening which allowed me to play a bit of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain again. I finished the second and third missions and did two side missions.
I'm enjoying it quite a lot. It's the perfect kind of stealth game for me: one where stealth is optional. There is no real downside to being spotted as long as you manage not to die. It does reduce your score at the end of the mission, but so far that doesn't seem to actually affect anything.
I'm still messing up quite a lot, especially when trying to get into melee range or when I try to deal with more than one enemy at once, but I'm learning.
The game does feel a bit janky, in no small part because of the fact that the game is obviously not made to be played with keyboard and mouse. Since I'm not using my guns that much anyway I might just switch to controller.
Besides the controls, I did also manage to blow up a piece of artillery by bumping against it with my horse. Not sure why that happened, but luckily I survived.
