I have yet to play it. 5 and Peace Walker are the only ones I haven’t touched

i didn't play peace walker but i did watch some stuff on youtube before playing mgs5 as it ties heavily into it. i did play ground zeroes though.

No, its very inconsistent. It has one of the best final bosses in the series though.

Explain more throughly

The game goes from bad/annoying to good multiple times. It peaks at beginning with Snake and then again with the finale, but it can get very dull in the middle. For example I think the aimless platforming after the first Solidus bossfight is horrendous, and the difficulty of some of the early rooms is not scaled to the player's state at that point which can make it a tedious experience. And yeah this a Kojima game and all, but the sheer amount of plot twist makes the story hard to follow and makes Solidus feel less intimidating than he should be by the end because you've been worrying about all these other more emphasized villains during the rest of the game. The character writing is also all over he place. Characters like Fatman and Solidus are either very well written or memorable, while some characters like Raiden and Hal's Sister are either extremely bland or downright boring.

Arguable but Big Boss/Zero was technically the mastermind of all this, Venom Snake is just a chess piece imo

I know, but as a character I like him more

Mgs 1,2 and 3 all 11/10 games

Yes it is

Playing 4 without any context must be very weird

na i was like 13 and that s*** was lit as hell

Still the worst mgs
