Fine for what it is. Certainly not an unenjoyable 2 hrs. I know there is more to do with the master dungeon and secret ending and whatnot, but the game doesn’t offer enough up top to get extra investment out of me.
For such a small team, it was a good adventure. Some interesting puzzle design throughout, unfortunately stiff combat, and a couple fun gags here and there.

I’ve never gone back and forth so much on a game before. MGS 1 swings back and forth from wildly outdated to holding up quite well and still being impactful so rapidly that it gave me whiplash.
The mandatory combat sections (I.e. the elevators) were atrocious, shooting in general feels insanely loose and inaccurate, the (mandatory) sniper battle was one of the most annoying sequences in any game ever, and just general navigation and stealth was super clunky and took me hours just get a hold of.
Then on the other hand, the story really picked up and was truly great. The presentation was good even now, and the world felt more fleshed out than many games now. Voice acting and occasional camp was awesome. I started off really despising the graphics and controls, but at this point, I could see myself replaying this at some point.
Also cyborg ninja is DOPE.
