My third playthrough of Platinum Games' near-perfect Metal Gear Hack and Slash is complete. Quite possibly the most quotable game of all time somehow houses impressively poignant political and social commentary while also being an incredibly snappy and engaging title to physically play. Platinum Games was in its bag at this point in time, hammering out the Bayonetta titles and about to get into their magnum opus in Nier: Automata.

Memorable fights, speeches, music... Metal Gear Rising has it all, an impressive swan song for Jack the Ripper.

Memes, the DNA of the soul.
