“The narration in MGS3 is honestly one of its best parts ,It gives the whole story more weight and makes Snake’s journey feel personal instead of just a mission. It feels like looking at a painful memory tbh The gameplay…”
“wow.... first time ever playing through this amazing fantastic game, i used to watch my brother play it growing up and tried a few times but had zero clue what i was ever doing so id always give up. now that im older…”
“O port é bem bom, apesar de faltar algumas opções padrões de jogos atuais, a performance em PCs de entrada não é perfeita, mas a maior parte do tempo roda bem, e sobre o jogo, MGS3 é simplesmente o melhor jogo de todos…”

“What a game. Aged like a fine wine. I must've played it at least about 50 times ever since the day it came out. Just as I did with MGS2HD, I installed a few community mods to "fix" Bluepoint's botched experience.…”
“Очень редко получается засиживаться в игре до такой степени, что забываешь смотреть на время, Snake Eater одна из них. Игра проходится на одном дыхании, процесс не даёт заскучать буквально никогда, если уж устал бегать,…”
“Still relevant. Still amazing. Still the best. Glad I finally finished playing it, even if it took me 20-ish years.”

“even after the new 3.0 update, controller support is still broken, just play the ps2 version tbh”
“A terrible story-driven game that tells us about a whiny soldier who can't accept his loss. It's not as interesting as the other parts (even V is better in some places). However, the gameplay is good. The third-person…”
“Why did this need a remake? I don't know, man! This is a f'n masterpiece! Anyway, I wanted to revisit this before playing the remake and I am glad I did, because it really held up. My only real gripe about this and the…”

“You WILL need patience for this game, you can get lost if you don't know what you're doing AKA (me). but it has a nice story, pretty outdated graphics but they have their charm. its a PS2 game after all. If you're…”
“I very liked that I saw Snakes growth during the story and it was very fun to watch and learn with him some important stuff. Even that the gameplay is very basic and not the most interesting thing the story of the game…”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“What about you, Jack? What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to me? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit, or your personal feelings? You don't know the truth yet. But sooner or later you'll have to choose.”
