I was expecting to enjoy this a bit more and I would have if the performance wasn't GARBAGE. Couldn't even hold stable 60fps at medium/low settings with FSR2 ON, absolutely insane.
The story is fine, some moments didn't really impact me as the gamw wants it to.
The graphics had a nice upgrade from what I could see when the game didn't ran like it was on a ps3.
The gameplay also has some cool upgrades, there's more combat moves, stances, powers, all very welcome, but the combat still feels very weird, it's not very responsive and sometimes you'll be fighting multiple enemies and it's a pain in the ass. There's a stance where you can cancel attack animations by blocking so it helps a bit in this regard but the other stances don't have this.
The game has bigger areas now, I didn't really explore a lot tbh, I'd have spent more time with the game if it was actually optimized, I just did the main story and a couple side things here and there.
Overall, it's a nice sequel although it runs terribly on pc and could've improved the combat's responsivity.

I finally played Metal Gear Solid. D A M N.
What an amazing game, I only have a few criticisms. I'll start with that.
There's some backtracking that's sometimes boring and the gameplay is (obviously) quite clunky since it's a 26 year old game but it works fine most of the time.
Everything else I really liked, the visuals, the locations, the characters, the story, the music... All really, really good.
The boss fights are also very cool, some can be a bit annoying due to the gameplay being clunky tho.
I can't imagine how people must've felt playing this in 1998. Wish we got a game now that is as revolutionary as this was for its time but that's problably not gonna happen.
I'm excited to play MGS2!
