UnMetal
UnMetal is a 2D stealth action-adventure that pays homage to the classics with a healthy dose of humor and satire. You play as Jesse Fox, who is definitely NOT an elite commando, under arrest for a crime he didn't commit, and must escape a covert military base using his wits and fists.

“I want to be able to play this through, because the humor is good and it's very creative, but the gameplay is too annoying for me to persevere.”
“I like the humor but too much trial and error kills the fun, the last straw was when I was given a timer to rush and save someone, then in typical fashion theres a new roadblock of guards as you back track to get to…”
“Seriously unfunny and just un-fun”

“Nice and chill game, 100% might be a bit tough, but doable in two-three playthroughs. Good humor”
“Adequately funny and very goofy. Not very charming, but is very entertaining as a parody. One main negative I can think of is the pacing. It starts off way too slow for my liking. By the time I was halfway there, I was…”

“By far the single worst possible homage to Metal Gear I've ever had the misfortune of playing through. This is a troll game designed to make jokes at the player's expense. If you're a masochist and you like repeatedly…”
