Speaking in terms of enjoying the Metal Gear saga in general, absolutely. It appears this is another set of ports from Konami that, like the recent Super Mario 3D All-Stars Switch ports, rely more on fans' preference for convenience than performance.īut while the Mario titles got at least a modicum of polish and updates to give them a bit of a visual boost, these releases appear to be simple ports to PC.

It doesn't seem as though there's anything extra to the releases either. As a result, they're much muddier than they should honestly look in 2020, and they don't appear to be optimized the way you'd expect a game like this to be in the current year. This isn't the first time these games have debuted on PC, but they've gone without a re-release in some time. Unfortunately, there's no indication that these releases have been given anything but meager polish now that they're on a new platform. You could also get the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for just over $20 to play Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and the former PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. This package also includes the original Metal Gear Solid and its included VR Missions, all for $5 less than purchasing all three GOG releases on PC. It includes a menagerie of Metal Gear entries: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Edition, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition. However, you could instead purchase the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection for $25 via Amazon. Metal Gear, the game that started it all, is available for $5.99. It’s exciting to see these games make their way over to PC, but they’re little more than convenient ways to own DRM-free versions of some of the earliest Metal Gear titles.įor $9.99 apiece, you can get Metal Gear Solid, with its included VR Missions, or Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, with all its additional Substance-exclusive content.

While this is great news for players who have somehow opted out of owning a PlayStation (or even a GameCube), this Konami-released set of ports isn't the best way to get into the series.
