METAL GEAR SOLID

As mentioned in the title, this is by far the best port of the original Metal Gear Solid on PC that can be found until the end of 2024. It is also the Integral version of the game, which includes all VR Missions as well as extended difficutly settings. I have played a few hours already and can say that it's working perfectly fine. Except the fact that it does not have achievements (we can live without those) it is by far superior to the latest port from 2023 from the Steam Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 1 package

This port is amazing. It is the same PC game that was released long ago, this is actually Metal Gear Solid: Integral, which includes the PS1 standalone game Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions. The game runs incredibly smooth, it looks 60 fps on my monitor, no issues at all, controller supported too (if using DS4Windows make sure you mark the "Hide DS4 Controller" box.

This game was one of the first in the modern stealth genre and aside from graphics, it still holds up pretty well.

I actually figured out that aside from some some rebinding issues with my Xbox One controller it plays well. Adding the integral port files from OxideNL makes it look and play even better. I essentially downloaded the pack off of Reddit and copied everything except the executables from Integral and pasted them into the game folder itself. Tested and messed with the Keybindings for controller and Keyboard and got it working like a charm.

Of course the game is rich in story. This game has some moral values and has also affected my character and thoughts in a positive way. Soundtrack is amazing, different music are played according to the situation which elevates the player's mood all the time. The boss battles are really tough and puts our skills to test. The game doesn't feel boring at all, vibe is always taken care of from starting to end.
