I played this game a back in 2022 for the first time and was utterly baffled at its quality. It controlled and played better than almost every single game that I'd ever played in my life. The fact that a game that came out before I was born AND was good enough to leave me constantly in awe of its quality should speak volumes. Rarely do I go back and play a game THIS old and enjoy it THIS much. Even on replays the game just works.
Sure there are some segments I don't love like controlling the missiles through hallways or the insanely long tower climb full of enemies, but god damn if this isn't one of the best games I've ever played.

@djyunghoxha I can see why some of the later parts of the game tested your patience. Kojima games never feeling dated to the point of irrelevancy is probably why I was so impressed. I never was the biggest fan of older games having grown up on the gamecube/DS era of consoles. Being impressed and captivated by a game this old (released just under a year before I was born) felt like an extremely novel experience. The only other game that felt as truly timeless to me predating my birth that I've beaten would probably be the original doom.
