“What are the chances that someone in 2026, playing a game from 1998 for the very first time - a game almost as old as they are - would end up loving it? Especially someone who never owned a PlayStation and didn’t even…”
“Good game, bad port for its age, the GOG version offers better controls and features.”
“The DNA of Modern Gaming Playing this on the PS5 today brings back the same chills I felt during the PS1 era. Metal Gear Solid isn't just a game; it’s the moment the medium grew up. In 1998, this was a seismic shift in…”

“I played Death Stranding last year and completely fell in love with the camp and cool-factor of Kojima's work. I recently played MGS: Delta and absolutely was enthralled with this world. It turns out that I have been…”
“A classic, there might be better ways to experience this title but I enjoyed it as a true experience of how Kojima is a master of game design. Ohh and the story is an absolute crazy wild ride.”

“If you're new to the Metal Gear Solid series, I recommend this version to start the series. It ran flawlessly on my PC with the new update. That said, the game does show its age in certain areas, most noticeably during…”
“The game is great. It also runs quite well on my PC. Must-have mod: github/nuggslet/MGSM2Fix”
“Game good! This is the best port I've played, and I've played them all. I have so many hundreds of hours logged in MGS1 throughout all the iterations. This game is truly majestic. I got it to play on Steam Deck and it…”

“The problem with Metal Gear Solid is you don't play it for years and forget just how well made it is. Then you boot it up years and years and years later only to realize you still remember the dialog, the sounds, the…”
“I can see why MGS 1 is considered a classic and one of the best games of all time. I've had the courtesy of playing it 28 years later and I'm still thinking about it a week after completing it. Amazing story, voice…”
“Probably my favorite PS1 game. MGS1 has aged very well with almost everything from the voice acting, story, and gameplay. The main game is pretty fun to playthrough for the first time and on replays. Although there's…”

“Fantastic game, one of the best games I've ever played. But this port is subpar at best. "Max Resolution" setting will cause stutters in boss fights and action heavy moments (almost 30 y/o game btw). Fullscreen mode…”

— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“To get the Big Boss rank in MGS1 you must complete the game on Extreme difficulty in under 3 hours, with 0 continues, 25 or fewer kills, 4 or fewer alerts, 1 or 0 rations used, and no special items Bandana Stealth. The radar must be turned off, which is a requirement for the…”

Who came up with an idea to default to the verison that is worse in every way possible and lock the superior one behind language pack?
