With that said, at the very least the Maser Collection is beautiful time capsule of how the series has evolved, even including translated encyclopedias of the games. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has plenty of technical frustrations, but at least it remains true to the classics.Read full reviewIn terms of drawbacks, there really aren’t many to speak of. For this release, lines of dialogue that directly refer to specific button presses are muted, which is weird, but understandable given the difference between the PS1 and Switch controller layout. And sure, the visuals could have been spruced up considerably to match the efforts fans have achieved with emulations, but for the sake of faithfully recreating the original PS1 release, Konami has done an adequate job here.Read full reviewIf you've never played any of the Metal Gear Solid titles before, or indeed their MSX2 ancestors, then the Master Collection on Switch is a perfectly fine way to experience some of the most iconic games of all time. That said, Switch owners have undoubtedly been stung by Konami's decision to cut MGS 2 and 3's frame rate down to 30, and although moment-to-moment gameplay still feels satisfying, it's a frustrating approach that we're hopeful will be patched at a later date. As for the overall package, there's a lot here that will keep you entertained, but the way it's been presented feels less than ideal. Still, it's a compilation well worth investigating if you're itching to play (or replay) the Metal Gear Solid saga.Read full reviewStill, there’s no denying the quality on display with Sons of Liberty, and rarely has a sequel demonstrated such a drastic improvement with its visuals and gameplay. For all its indulgent quirks, Sons of Liberty is another seminal video game that fully deserves its reputation as one of the greatest of all time. It’s just a shame that Konami couldn’t max out its potential for its release on Switch, as this is a game that deserves all the love and care in the world.Read full reviewAre there any downsides? Well yeah, some of the mechanics can

To say that the Metal Gear franchise is one of the most influential in all of gaming would be underselling the series quite a bit. Unfortunately, despite the massive success of just about every game in the franchise from the first Metal Gear Solid onwards, quite a few titles were only really playable on old hardware from a few generations ago, or if you’re the adventurous type, through emulation. Now we have the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, which brings to all modern platforms 3 games that are considered to be not only excellent titles in their own right, but also incredibly influential and important to the console generations they were released on. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is headlined by the first three mainline 3D games—Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater—along with the MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, as well as the NES version of the 1987 classic and Snake’s Revenge. The collection also features quite a few goodies that we’ll go into over the course of this review. To most video game fans out there, it’s no secret why the Metal Gear franchise is held in such incredibly high regard by just about everyone. While the franchise has been far from the most complex stealth games out there—Thief outdid the original Metal Gear Solid in just about every aspect in terms of gameplay—but it is important to note the historic impact these

Titles have had on gaming as a whole. Metal Gear Solid, for instance, essentially popularized the cutscene-based storytelling format we see in modern action-adventure games. Metal Gear Solid 2, on the other hand, was one of the first games to examine its own medium, questioning the very nature of what it means to be a sequel. "Metal Gear Solid, for instance, essentially popularized the cutscene-based storytelling format we see in modern action-adventure games." The first three Metal Gear Solid games were all in all excellent choices to include in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, since they not only act as fun standalone stories, they also tend to crossover with each other in unique ways. Metal Gear Solid 2 is an especially notable entry here, since playing it without having played Metal Gear Solid tends to make quite a few of its messages fall flat. The game is, after all, about the nature of identity, how ideas can be disseminated, censorship, and information control. While the fact that these titles, along with their predecessors are finally playable on modern systems is an excellent thing in and of itself—and believe me when I say that replaying Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater without having to dig out my old PS3 to play the HD Remaster has been an absolute blast—what makes Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 so interesting is all the extra stuff included alongside the games. The collection comes with a host of side content, the most

Feel a touch cumbersome at times. Changing camouflage outfits is a tedious exercise in constantly jumping in and out of the main menu, and we’re almost certain this will be streamlined for the upcoming Delta remake. It’s not a deal breaker, by any means, but it definitely serves as a reminder that this is fundamentally nearly a two-decade-old game. Still a bloomin’ great one, mind.Read full reviewMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is a staggering piece of history that further cements the impact of Snake's legacy in gaming.Industry CoverageMetal Gear Solid Remasters Finally Add Mouse And Keyboard Support After A Year The community has been crying out for additional options since the Master Collection was released a year ago.
