Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
My favourite of the metal gear series so far, the third game consists of a great and not too much convoluted story (like SoL), a better setting ; jungle warfare, fun but challenging collectibles and better gameplay overall.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Happy because it will introduce this gem to a wide set of newcomers because of obvious better graphics and gameplay, sad because it may render this version obsolete.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Some of the other songs and the sound design in general is really quite good in this game.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
If you enjoyed previous metal gear games this is a must play, the survival mechanics play super well, the story is satisfying and it was really fun to play on the steam deck!
