When people say they prefer 2D Zelda, it's considered a respectable opinion. When people say they prefer 2D Sonic, it's practically a foregone conclusion. But when I say I prefer 2D Metal Gear? Everyone reacts with disgust or confusion! This is clearly because nobody else has played Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the greatest 8-bit game ever made, but I digress.

UnMetal is basically Metal Gear 4 from some bizarro alternate universe where Ghost Babel was more successful than Solid, and it absolutely rules. It bills itself as a parody, and while it is indeed very funny, it's also an incredible game in its own right. This was clearly made with a lot of love and respect for its predecessors, and it's just a genuinely wonderful experience from start to finish, with excellent pacing and creativity to spare.
