Honestly very surprised (and slightly disappointed) to say that this does not hold up as well on a replay as I expected. I first played MGS2 about 6-7 years ago and thought it was incredible, easy 10, one of my favorite games of all time. But despite forgetting a majority of the plot, it just didn't hit nearly as hard this time around. It's still incredibly ambitious and ahead of its time, but most of the game just feels kinda... empty? I'd call it much more of an incredible, mind-blowing finale than an incredible, mind-blowing story.
