"Excellent, Snake. Age hasn't slowed you down one bit."
Came back to this again to replay the first mission and complete all the side ops, left it realising how much this game was better than I remember it being, albeit being a small prologue to the main event, it still manages to stand and shine on its own.
Gameplay elements are a great test trial to Phantom Pain and hold up a lot more than I remember when you spend hours on TPP, making this a much easier experience, the prospect of infiltrating the base countless times with different objectives never gets old and dare I say rescuing Hideo Kojima or accidentally blowing him up is one of the best level designs in the entire series.
