It's impressive how 5 years after playing it for the first time, MGS2 as a whole still holds up to this day. A game that would stay relevant as time progresses and would only become horrifying due to how the times change. How powerful Memes would become, how influential technology would surpass into something greater yet worse, misinformation, and questions about the concept of "freedom". Would happily write an essay about MGS2 but my nanomachines (son) are saying something different. 10.5 years later, MGS2 is still one of my favorite games of all time created by the hideous person, Hideo Kojima.

8 playthroughs later, I'm still amazed how there are many hidden details within the game that is yet to be discovered.
