Play as Snake on a mission to infiltrate a Cuban military base and rescue hostages. Ground Zeroes is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Explore the base from a third-person view, using stealth, observation, equipment, and enemy weapons to reach objectives. You can avoid guards or engage them directly, and choose your own routes through the mission.
A central story mission is joined by side missions with different objectives and conditions, all set around the same base. Replay missions to pursue optional tasks and higher ranks; difficulty settings and collectible audio tapes offer further goals.
Players who enjoy Ground Zeroes often praise its responsive stealth and the freedom to tackle objectives in different ways. Many also like how the compact base supports repeat runs and varied side missions, while some appreciate its tense atmosphere and story setup. The recurring reservation is its brief main campaign and limited amount of locations, which players often feel makes the standalone release hard to justify.
