Is it still worth playing?

Kojima Productions' 2008 stealth game for the PlayStation 3, in which an aging Solid Snake, now Old Snake, goes on a final mission against Liquid Ocelot. It is set five years after Metal Gear Solid 2, across five acts that run from Eastern European streets to Middle Eastern warzones and South American jungles. Snake's kit is built for staying hidden: the OctoCamo suit mimics nearby surfaces, the Solid Eye gives night vision and a map of nearby units, and Drebin Points buy weapons and items. Stress counts as well, since the Psyche Meter rises with cold, heat or being hunted. Each act can be crossed hidden, armed or without killing anyone, and that choice still gives a reason to go back to it today.
