Test Chamber – Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
The latest entry in the long-running Metal Gear series is finally upon us, so Game Informer's Joe Juba and Jeff Cork take a spoiler-free look at the weapons, buddies, and other features in this stealth-driven action game.
The Phantom Pain is a huge game, so taking a quick look at it is difficult. Even so, we give it our best shot, completing one of the main story missions, one of the quick side-ops, and then exploring Mother Base. We also chat about various other aspects of the game, including the important questions, like: "Can you extract yourself with a Fulton balloon?" Watch the video and learn the answer.
To continue reading about Metal Gear Solid V, check out our review of The Phantom Pain, plus our quick story primer for new players hoping to jump in with this installment.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
