Freedom To Decide

One of the best stealth games ever made and one of the best games in general ever made. Hideo Kojima is truly amazing being able to make these games especially with the story and how it holds up still to this day on how relevant it is with its many themes in its storyline and characters.

"Find something to believe in. And find it for yourself. And when you do, pass it on to the future."

The finale for MGS2 once you enter the arsenal is one of the greatest stretches of a game, I've ever played especially with the twists and the adrenaline rush of how the story is proceeding. Raiden being naked was not just for funny purposes, it was he was vulnerable and naked mentally as well. For one of the first times in forever, during that one section of the game, I felt like I was in a weird dream stance especially when it got insanely uncanny from the Codec calls from the AIs. From this point on to the finale battle and the last codec call is just a masterpiece. I love Raidens character and his own character arc of not just being used, to be able to start living for himself and for his story only. This game tells us and lays it out for us that we decide for ourselves, don't just believe what you are told, question ourselves and our own identity, and much more. One of the best games ever and I can't stop saying that.

You should do yourself an honor and play this for yourself. To be able to experience this masterpiece for yourself is a amazing experience.
