Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 could not have dropped at a better, or more sobering, moment.
Contents Usually, I’m overjoyed anytime I have an excuse to recommend an old game I love. While I’ve spent my life gaming alone in various living rooms, I believe those experiences are meant to be shared. There’s joy in getting to introduce something special to someone who’s never played before and then getting to see their reactions. But when it comes to Metal Gear Solid, that recommendation usually comes with a somber undertone.
Weapons of mass destruction The landmark Metal Gear series would begin its life on the NES in 1987, introducing the world to Hideo Kojima’s ambitious spy thriller series. That game would pack plenty of narrative into a limited cartridge, telling the story of super soldier Solid Snake as he foils a mercenary group’s plans to control a mechanized weapon of mass destruction, the mechanized Metal Gear.
To this day, Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid installments remain some of the few big-budget games that dare to say anything substantial about our world’s military-industrial complex. Never mind the cybernetic ninjas, memory card-reading psychics, and convoluted cloning schemes — underneath all its techno silliness, the Kojima-directed entries offer a sprawling critique of the world’s obsession with warfare and the way superpowers continue to push the moral limits of powerful weaponry.
And it was, though not in ways I’d realized at the time. Metal Gear Solid 2’s nationalistic pride is a smokescreen that begins to dissipate halfway through the game. For the bulk of its runtime, players control the blonde-haired Raiden on a quest to save the president from terrorists two years after Snake’s mission. It’s all standard 2000s spy movie fare, but that gets subverted in the same way the first Metal Gear Solid does.
