Hey its siddhass!
My rating system
0.5-2.5- Mostly Comprised of "MEH Titles". The higher the score, the lesser the "MEH"
3.0- Games that I enjoyed in some capacity, and I recommend, but either haven't aged well in retrospect, not my cup of tea or have a lot of room for warranted criticism. Also includes titles which are IMO overrated or nostalgic titles, which are just not that good.
3.5- Easily recommended, titles that I really enjoyed my time with, but also had some grating issues or frustrating moments.
4.0- 5.0- pretty self explanatory. All the highly recommended games start here. They either were revolutionary for their time and aged well. Are fun throughout or are deep and complex while being fun. The higher the rating the better they are.
Favorite Visual Novel is Fate/Stay Night.

I'm truly divided on how to rate this game.
While I admit to feeling not as hooked (at times even uninterested), and was only sorta hooked during the climax, the epilogue was beautiful and impactful. So an otherwise 6.5-7 experience, was rescued by the epilogue.
Most characters were a mixed bag as well. While The Boss was easily my favorite.
The Lore and the Universe (or rather the backstory is laid out really well)
It is also clear that MGS 3 is the more "raw" game in the series. Running more on the feels, than the "idea" template kojima presents. Its not overly indulgent Kojima, but it's not fully crazy either till the end. Its a mix of the best gaming moments and absolutely mediocre campaign game ones. An involving narrative which doesn't necessarily keep u hooked and vice versa. An Intelligent and thought provoking story told in an at times dull/camp-driven way. Awesome moments wrapped around with mediocre ones. This game is a must play, but I think its slightly overrated (which made me too hyped and dropped the score down). Like all the other MGS games.

I think 13 sentinels might have one of the finest narratives on the PS4, even then it isn't without a fault.
In retrospect I think the characters are just kinda average and the final buildup to the end maybe slightly lagging even though the actual end in itself is fantastic.
Although I think that's not the point. 13 sentinels IMO is meant to be a laid back experience, which makes u go " Wow it came together so well, I'm blown away; how did they manage that ".
It may not be refined, but for what it is and what it offers.. (Beautiful visuals, easy gameplay, a certain chill vibe, excellent plotting and structuring).. It's absolutely great. A laid back experience with a lot of depth, which misses a few beats and two.
