In Metal Gear Solid you play as a man named Snake who wears a bandana and is a clone of another man named Snake who also wore a bandana, as well as the brother of another man named Snake who does not wear a bandana and is also blond. You fight a man named Ocelot who thinks he is a cowboy, as well as a man in a gas mask who knows what games you like, as well as an invisible ninja who makes an otaku pee himself, as well as an Alaskan shaman who carries a gatling gun on his back, as well as a blonde woman who has her tiddies out in sub-zero temperatures. You also become best friends with the otaku who pissed himself and can save a woman with a nice butt if you mash buttons fast enough. Also, there is a giant robot that shoots nukes, and the plot is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how dominant and recessive genes work.

Despite all of this, Metal Gear Solid is a deeply impactful game, and I count it among my favorites.

Great little game. The movement is obviously the star of the show, but some great level design is also here leading to creative skill expression. The game really needs a map though, which I believe may be coming in a future update.

More than anything however, I'm excited to see what the developer is able to create in the future thanks to Pseudoregalia's success.

Crime is not real, it was made up by the american government to sell us TV shows about hot single lawyers.

Don’t be fooled by how little of an impact it left and how derivative it ultimately is; this is the best of the Castlevanialikes

Great metroidvania with good boss fights. Some of them really stand out and the cutscenes around these fights are also damn great. The traversal feels really good and the platforming sections are tight.
The plot was kinda weird with some characters doing 180s quite quickly but it was serviceable.
Very solid game.

I remember finding out about this game in an old video about "underrated games," picking it up and it changing the chemistry of my brain. Literally embodies the definition of "aura" in a video game. No dialogue, purely "Show don't Tell" and it does so masterfully.
