Metal Gear Solid
The success of a creative work is more often than not fickle, capitalizing on some trend, some theme, some demand that’s could never have been predicted but seems obvious in retrospect. Pac-Man is a very good video game, made by talented people, but it also benefited from video games exploding out of university mainframes and into bars, malls, and movie theaters, where there were waiting quarters in eager hands.
The same could be said of Metal Gear Solid. It rode a wave of excitement that descended upon the industry with the technological advancements of the 1990s. Consoles rallied forward with exciting new innovations – CD storage! Polygonal rendering! Rumble & analog sticks! – and games like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy VII showed that the industry was striking at Hollywood, integrating strong narrative, memorable characters, and fantastic presentation into more striking video games.
But it wasn’t just luck, not for those titles and certainly not for Metal Gear Solid. The game is full of an undeniable creativity, powered by massive leaps in technology and informed by the unique perspective and skills of its creators.

I just finished: Metro Exodus!
Tumblr media
Compared to the previous Metro games, this one sure is a whole lot different, which isn't necessarily worse - but if you liked the previous games you won't necessarily like this.
Tumblr media
The game play is no way bad, though I didn't enjoy it as much as the other games - this is purely personal preference of course, as I enjoy Survival Horror style game play more. This one still has retains some elements of that, resource management is somewhat present, though it's more akin to a Fallout or Stalker game, instead of Resident Evil or F.E.A.R. Most of the horror themes have disappeared as well - whilst I'm not entirely sure if I would call the originals horror games, (if i need a single term I'd probably go for post-apocalyptic, the kind of thing I would think as being sterotypically Slavic) but they were certainly more so than this. Less fighting monsters, more fighting human 'survivors'. Most of the monsters you see are Zombies now, which I'm fairly sure weren't in the others, The game has a shockingly low number of mutants.
Tumblr media
Along with horror, the sci-fi parts have also taken a hit, I almost forgot playing through this that the other games were mostly about psychic neohumans? The concept feels so at odds with the new direction they took this one. You might wonder, if it's not horror, not sci-fi, what is this new direction? Well of course it's still very much working within the Post-apocalyptic genre, focusing on disputes between various groups with differing political outlooks, as the survivors fight to stay alive - Exodus, however, focuses a lot more on that second part than the previous games, fleshing out the various characters far more and actually making me remember their names, or at least the fact they existed at all.
Tumblr media
You have a small squad of characters that you stick with throughout the whole game, and each of them has at least something to distinguish them, even if it's fairly small (I'm pretty sure there's the staple one guy who likes food). I did find myself somewhat caring about them as the game went on, which is a huge change from the previous games where every character felt throwaway - I suppose part of this is a shift of the protagonist - Artyom's - perspective, previously no one in his life lasted long enough to get attached to, everyone almost immediately died or betrayed him -but now he has attained a stable social group, and a family. Speaking of which, Anna is the biggest change for the better, like many other games, now she and Arytom are married she has moved on from being the destined love interest, and she is allowed to be more of character in her own right.
Tumblr media
It might seem odd that I haven't talked about the shooting or anything in what is primarily an FPS, but the characters storytelling was what really stood out to me in this game. Yes, it is fun to modify your guns to suit your play style and sneak around quietly shooting everyone - the Tikhar (air gun) is particularly cool in this one, and is given a lot of attention - but the how much the story moved me was kind of a shock. I'm not sure if other's will agree - I can see how people would just see it as stiff, or maybe tropey, but it hit me in a way I can't quite explain. - I actually almost cried at the end, even though it didn't come as any surprise.
Grade: B
Significance: 2/3

Another character for Relationship Level Up. This guy is a character from an action game, and is similar to a mix of Dante Devilmaycry and Raiden Metalgear. He's one third human, one third demon, one third robot, and all edgy
