The enemies won't detect us for a few minutes and we can easily pass tricky spots. For all the creepers, there's also the optional Chicken Hood, which we can get put on either right after a mission restart or after a few deaths.

If we manage to eliminate the attentive villain during this time, we'll escape the alarm siren and an assaulting mob of enemies. This is especially due to the reflex mode, which slows the game down for a few seconds when we are discovered. In a few places we were annoyed during the test about enemies who could see us from a hundred meters in a crouched position, but The Phantom Pain never becomes unfair.

In the darkness, the guards are felt to be more attentive, but cannot discover us so easily. It's very important whether we venture by day or by night. If enemies hear a suspicious noise, they search the surroundings if they discover us, they immediately approach reinforcement.

With all the Open World possibilities, the feel of the game doesn't fall by the wayside.
