In Metal Gear Solid you play as a man named Snake who wears a bandana and is a clone of another man named Snake who also wore a bandana, as well as the brother of another man named Snake who does not wear a bandana and is also blond. You fight a man named Ocelot who thinks he is a cowboy, as well as a man in a gas mask who knows what games you like, as well as an invisible ninja who makes an otaku pee himself, as well as an Alaskan shaman who carries a gatling gun on his back, as well as a blonde woman who has her tiddies out in sub-zero temperatures. You also become best friends with the otaku who pissed himself and can save a woman with a nice butt if you mash buttons fast enough. Also, there is a giant robot that shoots nukes, and the plot is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how dominant and recessive genes work.
Despite all of this, Metal Gear Solid is a deeply impactful game, and I count it among my favorites.

This review contains spoilers
This prequel, which for the last 2 hours is about magical necromancers raising the dead and BJ Blazkowics having to fight hordes of Zombies and a big video game final boss fight against a giant Zombie Monster, ends with your squadmate Fergus turning to BJ and saying, (and I quote)
"You sure killed that big fucking monster proper, BJ, But the biggest monster is still out there"
Referring to the very real threat of the Nazis in The New Order, the game that takes place literally right after this in a brutalist alternate timeline that has no mention of zombies or magic or necromancy anywhere.
This is all canon.
