Though I can recommend MGS5 without a doubt it is definitely not without it's flaws.
For it's current price you will get your money's worth, you don't need to worry about that, even when you stop playing the game after about 10 to 15 hours when the game's repetitiveness kicks in, because in those first 10 hours when everything is still new and you're still figuring out all the game mechanics you'll be treated to a gorgeous looking stealth adventure chock full of exciting gameplay where you feel everything is possible. Not that that stops after those first so many hours, it's just that once you've got the hang of things (and get your hands on a tranquilizer rifle) the shine starts to wear off quickly and you're left with an open world sandbox like any other where being stealthy and sneaky has turned in to primarily tranqing and airlifting.

And that's where I think MGS5's biggest flaw lies, it not being it's lineair story driven self anymore. Because for all the fun and interesting mechanics it has to offer in an open world setting I still prefer being led in a single directions and more or less being forced to experience a rollercoaster ride full of corkscrews and loop-de-loops. That is where the franchise's core strength is at and has always been at, and the game's 1 to 2 hour long prologue/tutorial seems to agree with that because ironically enough it is hands down the best part of the entire game. Albeit a bit over the top, but hey, we're talking Kojima here.

So to sum up this recommendation; if this is not your first Metal Gear and you've always loved the series this will most likely be one of your least favorite entries in the franchise (Metal Gear Survive? Never heard of it.) yet still being far from a bad game. While if you're just a nut for sandboxes and love being sneaky this will probably be a match made in heaven for you.
