The emotional story and atmosphere are as gripping as the original, still one of Kojima’s best works.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is clean and meticulous as it always was, with CQC working much the same as before allowing you to closely engage enemies on the battlefield, the over the shoulder camera allows for easier approaches on enemies without the awkward camera shifts.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice actors did great and the soundtrack is as beautiful as ever, but I've crashed more times than there are Foxhunt players.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first one has better lightning, nearly no stutters and it can even run on the Steam Deck.
