Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

A stealth-action game set in large open areas, where you choose how to approach each mission: sneak in, go in loud, or bring in vehicles and support. Between missions you build up and manage your own base. The story is told in fewer and shorter cutscenes than in earlier Metal Gear games. Is it your kind of game?
