How many times have I played this game? It just never gets old.
Back in late 2004 I didn’t go to school, I stopped when I became 18 (next year I finished at an alternative school), and I rented this game the day it came out and played it over 2 rental cycles. I never felt more alive, plus I got to play it for 10 dollars instead of 50. Great memory.
What is it that makes this the best Metal Gear? 1-4 have the best stories. This has the best gameplay though. It’s amazing that an HD version of a 2004 game is the most playable game ever.
It’s my favorite game, and I’ve been playing it more over the past couple of years after realizing that I can play whatever I want to. Why play a poor game for the first time when you could just play Snake Eater again?
There’s something nice about playing a game nearly entirely set in the jungle. It’s calming. I normally don’t like boss fights, but they’ve become so much fun to play here. European Extreme is surprisingly easy.
A Metal Gear game that puts every other Metal Gear to shame, just because it’s not Snake Eater. The best game ever made.

I finally beat it! Great game, I played it so many times before, but I would always get lost in Gruntilda’s Lair. Click Clock Wood and Rusty Bucket Bay are classically hard Rareware levels in the best ways. It didn’t end up being as long as I thought it would be, Super Mario 64 probably still has the most content for best platformer but the quality here is even better.
Has one of the greatest final levels I’ve ever played in a game. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Rareware games are of the best ever.
Onto Tooie! (Next year) 9.8/10

Did not fully complete my first replay since the 2000s (I did a lot of grinding to gain Cloud, but then got bored and too overleveled for the final stretch) but still I had a great experience. One of the top tier RPGs and Final Fantasys. The sprites are an eyesore for the first level or 2, until your eyes adjust and it becomes beautiful, and consistently are belied by the dramatic story with great twists and death scenes. The soundtrack is truly one of the greats.
Peak: the library chapter. If you watch those levels on YouTube and aren’t convinced immediately that you want to play it, there is no other way.
