Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Review

Опис:

While much of what I loved about Snake Eater is attached to the time and place of a boundary‑pushing PS2 game in 2004, revisiting it through Metal Gear Solid Delta in 2025 came with a big burst of modernized nostalgia. It's not an expansive or complex game by today’s standards, and so parts can be underwhelming if you’re coming from a more modern Metal Gear. But it often shows how good stealth‑action mechanics can age well, and the political drama with Kojima's signature brand of campiness is intact. To me, these are the things that make Metal Gear so memorable – and while some of it is eyerolling, the emotional highs of Snake Eater's story still hit as hard as I remember. Part of me is still curious about why this was made if it wasn’t going to come with more substantial changes outside of the visual upgrade, but if I were to point someone to one of the many versions available, this is the one I'd recommend, whether you're revisiting or playing for the first time. Kojima and the original team may not have been involved in this remake, but the spirit of Snake Eater persists.
