Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater revisits one of the most beloved entries in the franchise, retelling Naked Snake's Cold War mission with striking new visuals and modern refinements. Stealth, survival mechanics, and memorable encounters all return, bolstered by updated controls, persistent wounds, and an immersive camouflage system that reflects the gritty journey through jungles and Soviet bases. For newcomers, it's the most accessible way to experience the story, and for long-time fans, it offers a polished trip down memory lane.
Yet, for all the improvements, it remains rooted in 2004. The game feels dated in design, and despite the PS5 sheen, it doesn't reinvent or reimagine enough to be called a true remake. With a hefty 90GB install size and a £60 price tag, it's hard not to see this as a cautious remaster rather than a bold revival. It's faithful, it's beautiful, but it's also a reminder that sometimes preservation can come at the cost of ambition.
