Ohhh, Until Dawn, that's defo another I want to play a lot too. Any good, Riku?
And yeah, MGSV is soooo good, mmm, my god. Nom, nom, nom. Seriously good. Extremely good. So good that I may just say it's game of the year... already at around 10+ hours in (and only 8% complete), lives up to the Metal Gear of the PSX and PS2 eras kind of good.
A have a couple of things that I have mixed feelings about, but on the whole, it's an incredible game to play. This is the game Kojima wanted to make when he created MGS4 and Peace Walker, those both were experiments...this is the main course. True open world stealth-action. And it tastes so good.
I'd liken MGS4 to eating a three part starter at your favourite restaurant, it initially tastes good but as you eat it, it gets worse and worse until you want to leave the restaurant then the chef (Kojima) is saying "no, please, let me give you my special dish, it's fresh and unique unlike anything else on the menu" then you eat it (Peace Walker) and feel that it's just bland and okay, but with something there that if done better would be worth having again in the future. Then you return again after a break from the place and eat the new starter (Ground Zeroes) and it wets your appetite so much but are left to wait a long time for the main until you're about to leave and then the chef gives you the main course, which is not only huge but full of the best tasting food you've had all year, with some of the food from the bland tasting food from the last time, now with actual depth and good taste behind it. Then you find out the chef is quitting after giving you his final meal at this restaurant...
