Some of the early reviews for this don't look good at all.
Which reviews? I've only been able to find 2 reviews:
- One titled "Why MGS: GZ is a scam" which everyone says to avoid because it spoils the entire game and is unfairly negative.

- And the Famitsu review which rated it a 38 / 40. LINK

Are there some other reviews out there (spoiler-free preferably) because I'm interested in hearing what's being said about it?

I may have posted this here before, but I thought I'd share again in case someone out there wants to play MGS:GZ but has never played a Metal Gear game before or wants the full picture, covering any games they might have missed.

Ign's review was spoilerless. I'm about to start the download now. $30 bucks isn't that big of a deal and I love metal gear.

I want to play this, but I feel pretty meh about laying down 30 bucks for it.

May wait a while since the phantom pain isn't due out for another year.

This game is way darker than the rest of the MGS series.

From what I've heard and what I plan to do, is just really take my time exploring around and take my time with the main mission. I think that's honestly what this is intended for. Explore around, learn about the new age MGS and then do a mission.
I think people buying this expecting it to be just another game to run through will be disappointed.

Same here, play on hard and try to go through undetected. That should take me countless hours

First single player game on the one for me. I'll enjoy it regardless.

That's a good idea actually. I almost always play full length games on normal bc I hate getting stuck on spots just bc of ridiculous difficulty. But in this case, I just might do that

I'm waiting to see if my Amazon order got cancelled or not. Still says it's shipping as of 5 mins ago. Either way I'll download it or have it in my doorstep when I get home

Damnit, This makes me want to go buy a PS4 now. But damn gamestop doesn't have any and I would like to trade in some old systems.

Its been so long since I've played a MG game the only thing I've managed to accomplish in game so far is getting spotted from one end of the compound to the other.
