Released in 1998 for the Sony Playstation, Metal Gear Solid is a 3D action/stealth game by Konami and follows Solid Snake on an infiltration/rescue mission in the Alaskan military base “Shadow Moses”.

Following its release, the game was hailed as a technical marvel/groundbreaking experience for Sony’s inaugural console and would go on to have numerous sequels and influence an entire generation of classic Playstation games.

In the second installment to my ‘One Playthrough Later’ segment, I look at MGS for the first time and wrestle with my indifference to the stealth-action genre/cinematic stories in video games in the process because, while there’s no denying that Metal Gear Solid is a great game, I can’t quite tell if it’s the kind of game for me.

About:
NichePlays is a retro gaming review, discussion, appreciation channel by Nicholas Caesar, a writer and video editor from New Jersey. In each of his videos, Nicholas tries to mix his love of comedy and pop culture with the video essay/game review format in a way that is part Girlfriend Reviews, Scott the Woz and Cinemassacre, and part Game Sack, SomeCallMeJohnny, and StopSkeletonsFromFighting. His favorite consoles include the Nintendo Switch, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Oh and he (I, let’s not kid ourselves) tries to do it in a fun, approachable and level headed way. Because like, they’re games. It probably isn’t that deep.
