I thought Metal Gear Solid was already so good and it couldn’t get any better then I played 2, and then I thought no way they’re topping this?? Then I played Metal Gear Solid 3.
Metal Gear Solid 3 is simply put a masterpiece from the get go. From the setting to the gameplay mechanics to the soundtrack to the story. Everything is upped to 10 and literally everything is innovated upon from MGS2. This is a must play and stealth action at its peak.
MGS3 has made such a huge impact to gaming it’s crazy, so many modern mechanics that games implement can be found here such as healing your character in a realistic way, hunting for animals and eating so your character doesn’t get tired, and so much more.
The character of Naked Snake is so freaking good too going to explore the character of big boss was such a great idea and it’s so cool to see where it all started. Just like Solid Snake Big Boss is a great and layered character and seeing his journey from virtuous mission to snake eater was amazing. You develop such great relationships with characters like Eva and Ocelot throughout playing the game.
The story is so amazing, Kojima leaning in to the James Bond esque story and vibe was such a great choice and the story is filled with so many twists. The ending and final boss of MGS3 is one of the best in gaming. And man the soundtrackkkk Snake Eater is the best theme in gaming idc.
The Boss is also arguably the greatest female character in gaming history. A character with so much depth and hearing her story throughout the story was so insane. She been through it😭
Boss fights were so good too the cobras really put you through the ringer and I love all the top action and crazy fight scenes. Adapting in this game is some of the best ever having to strategize for different areas and enemies.
I can’t wait for MGS Delta, hopefully Konami does a good job with it cus this game is so so good and deserves the best remake.

Gooning aside game is actually stellar, has a few minor issues and story is on the weaker side but everything else is amazing.
Shift up did a insane job on their very first AAA game and I can’t wait for stellar blade 2 and their next projects. You just gotta play it and experience it yourself and man soundtrack might be one of my favs oat.

Tweaking- the game
Seriously though game is a technical marvel easily one of the best looking games ever and it’s a great experience, one of a kind. Sound design is incredible too you have to play with headphones and slaughtering those mans is so satisfying.
Suffering builds character development was a person it might be Senua😭

Final fantasy 7 rebirth is an absolutely fantastic experience that pushes the boundaries and standards we should expect for modern games and remakes in this era of gaming, however as much as I loved the experience and definitely think this is my game of the year so far it isn’t without flaws unfortunately that I really really wanted to ignore.
First let’s start off with the good of course the game is beautiful, insane soundtrack, themes that have been remixed masterfully, beautiful graphics, tons of content and side quests have been made way better than the first part. Almost everything has been expanded and enhanced for the better compared to the original game/remake and the journey with the ff7 party is just a joy to re-experience.
Combat is at its peak with the introduction of synergy abilities and new limit breaks and synergy attacks. It’s so smooth and fun and tactical it’s just so fun to go ham on enemies. Amazing new summons and boss fights as well that are a huge spectacle.
The whole map is huge with tons of areas new and old with so much to do and unique things for each region which is awesome. Everything is so much bigger and just feels crazy to see how far we’ve come compared to the ps1. We also got to ride the buggy and tiny bronco which was awesome. Tons of mini games too and queens blood is goated.
The writing and dialogue is very very good for the most part, the dialogue between characters is so amazing the energy is just so unique compared to other jrpgs the experience you get is just so special. The humour is great, story is still ff7 for the most part and it’s just so fun to interact with characters new and old unless it’s chadley.
So yeah it’s amazing! Which is really not surprising since it is without a doubt a wonderful game! I wanted to do almost everything and I loved seeing characters like cissnei being given a bigger role too.
Now the main issues with the game is having this stupid timeline multiverse thing that just makes the great story feel stupid. I didn’t even know what was happening at the end of the game genuinely. And I don’t understand how this is gonna tie into advent children, and why exactly does it have to tie into advent children?
The game feels like it wants to please everyone with the ideas it presents but it ends up making the mystery or whatever feel convoluted for no reason and just makes the original story less special. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken and if you are adding things we will accept that as long as it’s reasonable and doesn’t turn the game into the MCU.
The game is also a bit too grindy suffers from that Ubisoft game design and feels like some sections are stretched out just to make the game longer artificially which is just so stupid. Way too much handholding and although the open world is great it does have some FFXV feeling where it seems dead at times and you don't have many unique interactions other than the ones for the linear story path.
Chadley and Mai are literally two of the worst characters ever created and ruin the game. Every 5 second they call you when you do something on the map like what is the purpose. They just piss you off.
SPOILERS BELOW
Some of the most important moments such as aeriths death and cloud giving sepohrith the black materia are changed for the worse. I still enjoyed what I saw but the original was definitely more impactful and they stray a bit too far away from the original scenes.
But Areiths death was just left completely emotionless because they tried to have cloud save her and then he does but she dies anyways lol?? Couldn’t just have seporith off her like the original which is literally one of the most shocking and iconic scenes in gaming?? And then we go into a boss fight against a jenova lifesaver??? Like 1 minute later!! What a joke!! Completely ruined the emotion and even cut clouds original speech. Criminal!
They also made the love triangle between Tifa and Aerith feel less impactful it’s still solid here but they cut out some really important dialogue such as when Cait Sith says Aerith and Cloud are meant for each other, they do add a ton of new stuff like cloud and hers date but you’re just left confused cus you don’t know what the hell is going on!! And also Zack being more involved makes it feel weird!
Seporith also is just too confusing of a villain here to like compared to the original the writing is just not there. He was much more horrifying in the original.
Zack is a goat and he was soo cool to play as and was intriguing to see how he lived and stuff but he just feels shoehorned in here and serves really no purpose to the plot other than being pure fan service. Idek what’s gonna happen in the third game. Im all for originality and taking risks but this is a remake and why multiverse timeline specifically you could’ve done anything. We lose so much of the original games themes because of that too.
Overall, I still greatly enjoyed my experience with the game and it is a must play but it did feel a little disappointing knowing that the game has flaws that aren’t ignorable for me, it was close to perfection and could’ve been the best remake but there’s just too much new goop that lowers the game a little bit. I can see why people didn’t enjoy the game as much but even though the story is the main problem I have with the game everything else is so good.

How did Kojima and Konami go band for band with themselves and win
1998
Games like this are just special this game literally revolutionized gaming and to this day is one of the best games ever. Pinnacle of everything and pushed the medium and the power of the PS1.

Game has issues but is so fun I can’t lie.
The zombie deformation system is actual insanity, crazy amount of weapons, somewhat decent story, beautiful art style. Solid skill system.
Drop kicking zombies and demolishing them with a bat or machete or mace never gets old tbh.
It’s a good game it honestly could’ve been even better if they focused on addressing issues from the first game more because they’re still here but somewhat better but it’s a good game for what it is and going through dev hell and all things considered.
Definitely better than the first game and riptide like I didn’t like those at all but I actually love this game a lot and had lots of fun.

Greatest of all time
It’s alright for a tech demo but if this is the future of silent hill we’re fudged😭
The story is abysmal hopefully they get better writers
But the graphics, tone, soundtrack, atmosphere, etc, it’s solid not bad definitely potential if they can actually make a good story these things can be repurposed for a good silent hill game.
