On Hallowe’en Eve, 2022, I made a perhaps foolish decision, announced publicly in a thread on Resetera, that I was going to finally try and finish not only my first Metal Gear franchise game, but all of the canonical ones, and write up my thoughts and experiences while playing each one.
This was warmly received, and I’m mirroring the project here and on that forum. The forum thread will get the day-by-day, and upon completion of a game I will post the final write-up, collected into a single post, on this blog. Perhaps this will interest somebody, some day? In any case, this post specifically will also keep updated as an index of the project posts, listed here in game order:
