Super Replay | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Part 5

Standing here, I realize that this Super Replay will be a cut above the rest because we’ll be slicing and dicing in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance! Come join us on Twitch at 2 p.m. Central Enjoy two hours of the action-packed game every Friday, as it streams live. You can also catch up on previous episodes by visiting our new Game Informer Shows YouTube channel or watching the embedded video below. 

Metal Gear Rising is a spin-off of Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. It features a cyborg Ninja Raiden as the leader. Developer Platinum Games has made it so that players don’t have to hide in boxes and they can slay their foes with fast-paced, stylized action. Since its launch in 2013, Revengence’s action and absurdity have garnered it a passionate internet fandom, but I have a little secret: I didn’t think the game was all that special when I played it at launch. However, years of being inundated with internet memes and being told my opinion is incorrect has inspired me to give Revengece another look. Will I acquire a new appreciation for the game nine years later? What number of watermelon slices will I make? You’ll have to tune in to find out. 

Join me, Marcus Stewart, and Blake Hester as we revisit Raiden’s beloved solo adventure.
