The Metal Gear Solid series has been long renowned for its highly rated soundtrack, story, and gameplay. So much so that the protagonist has appeared in Super Smash Brothers. All about being a stealth operative, Metal Gear Solid has sold incredibly well across all of its entries ever since the PS1. After 8 years since the last entry in the series, the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection is releasing on modern consoles and PC with the first three entries in the series. Fans are raving, seeing how the first two Metal Gear Solid games were pulled from digital storefronts as well as the fact that with a Nintendo Switch release players may now enjoy Metal Gear Solid portably for the first time since the PlayStation Vita.

   In Metal Gear Solid, players take the role of Snake, a stealth operative of the group Foxhound, tasked by the United States to take back Shadow Moses Island before its secrets about robotic development get loose to enemies of the US. Originally released on the PlayStation 1, it sold amazingly well and was one of the most triumphant games of the generation. 

   In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, players play as both Snake and new Foxhound member Raiden to sneak into an enemy base and take back a dangerous bioweapon known as Metal Gear before it gets used to end the world as they know it. It plays entirely differently than the original Metal Gear Solid, but has higher quality graphics and music.

   In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Snake has to survive the jungle and rescue the captured Russian scientist Sokolov before he is used as a pawn in the cold war. Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater is one of the most renowned games of the PlayStation 2, later getting a rerelease on the PlayStation 3.

   The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection also includes the original Nintendo Entertainment system games Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2: Snake’s Revenge, as well as bonus artbooks, soundtracks, and the first two Metal Gear Solid digital graphic novels. The collection releases for PC, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on Oct. 23 for $59.99.
