Metal Gear Solid changed everything when it comes to action games trying to be cinematic, but also blending in engaging gameplay. 26 years later, it’s still doing it better than a lot of games releasing today. Aspects of the game are outdated, specifically with boss fights, but the story and its characters like psycho mantis are so creative and enjoyable ; it makes those irritating segments more forgivable. This has good, and even great, voice acting, which was a rarity at the time of the PS1. Shadow Moses still has some of the best atmosphere of any location in a PS1 game; it’s a joy to explore, even if you know everything about it
