This is a really well made game, holds up fairly well. Keep in mind i don't have any nostalgia for this game, played it for the first time in 2023.
Metal Gear Solid is very ambitious , it not only tells an engaging story but also has fun stealth gameplay along with fun and iconic characters and boss fights.
The story and vibe of this game are very reminiscent of 90s Hollywood action flicks and anime, which makes a really fun combo.
Overall this is worth well your time , a true classic.
