The MGS games were ones I had tried multiple times. The controls always seemed "clunky" to me, and I never really got past the first 30 minutes of the game I tried. Like before, I really did not care for this game when I first started it, but something was different this time...

I began to really like it. I thought the controls sucked, but it turns out maybe I just sucked. At one point, the only reason I was playing the game for was the story. Which, even then, sometimes has its issues, mainly with the women characters. Please learn how to write women. It hurts watching some of the scenes.

I don't think it's perfect, I'm playing MGS2 as of writing this, (it's taken me so long to post this I've beaten it now), and it feels way more comfortable to control. But it's up there... this game is really good. Some of the bosses aren't super fun, such as the final boss. Maybe the only unfun part of the game that I can remember. The only other moments I didn't enjoy were, as I mentioned before, the beginning since I didn't fully get the controls.

Aaaand that's it... there's probably nothing else that I can say since everything has been said before. I mean, everything I said in this review has definitely been said before. I found myself having more fun than expected, and now I finally understand why tons of people love this game.

I've heard amazing things about episode 3, so I decided to try the first one out... and it was alright. There's some really neat art you see during moments such as deaths. They were definitely the highlight for me (the parody stuff was neat, too). Otherwise, the setting and story felt quirky, but not really in an interesting sense. The game was rather short (only taking me about an hour to beat), so I can't be too harsh on it, but I found myself rather bored. The puzzles sometimes felt like the only way to solve them was to just interact with every item. Although I am pretty excited to play the rest, here's to hoping the next one is better!

Extra: Charlotte is a cute main character, and I'm interested to see where she goes.
