A huge improvement over the first game but still not a game I would want to play without save states / rewind.
I have a lot of memories of playing this game as a kid back in the day. Replaying it now I’m surprised 9 year old me had the patience! I don’t think I’d have bothered to finish this if the nostalgia didn’t keep me playing. MGS1 has aged gracefully in my opinion but this feels like a relic with frustrating controls and oftentimes obtuse mission objectives. I did enjoy my time playing through it though, especially with save states! I’m going to give the sequel a chance since I never played that properly when it released. It will have to be better than this for me to play through the rest of the series though.
As others have stated, this is a glorified tech demo. Played it on PS plus thinking I’d enjoy it for what I thought it was, a COD-style single player campaign from 2013. I couldn’t finish it though, the whole thing is just so dull and monotonous. The graphics are fine but there is no wow factor 10 years later playing on a PS5, which I’m assuming was the main draw of the game at the time because there’s nothing else here to recommend.
