“Konami brings back three very different pieces of Metal Gear, from Solid Snake’s emotional finale to Peace Walker’s tactical foundations and Ghost Babel’s handheld curiosity. Not everything is remastered equally, but the historical value of the package is huge.”

Latest: LABYRINTHOS: The Depths Want You

NookGamingAug 21, 2026Score 60

“LABYRINTHOS: The Depths Want You is a dark fantasy visual novel with roguelite gameplay elements that present the journey of a single man to reclaim his past. Despite what would be a long struggle against forces of Chaos and the temptations of flesh, he ascends the tower to discover more about himself, and by the end, finally reclaim his freedom. There are a lot of interesting story elements scattered around that readers can appreciate if they piece them bit by bit, but the pacing relative to the frequency of erotic content makes it a little bit hard to digest the storyline as it unfurls. It requires a lot of persistence from the reader to get through the slog of its simplistic gameplay loop to finally get to the meat of its narrative. By that point, it might be hard to say whether or not it was worth the trip. For people who are keen on reading consistently interesting dialogue, this one might not be for you. Between the lackluster gameplay and the buffet of honey pots, there are too many stopping points that break the flow for what otherwise would have been a fine dark fantasy story. But for those who like equal amounts of plot twists and curves, you might have found your next interesting pick-up. There’s a protagonist that serves as an easy self-insert, and there’s plenty of ladies to woo along the way. I highly recommend it for people who like picking up girls in dungeons without the need to make any commitments.”

Multiplayer FirstAug 21, 2026Score 100Pre-release Review

“It took eighteen years, but Old Snake is finally free of his cell architecture prison. It shines strong on modern platforms, which is surprising, considering how Vol. 1 turned out. But it seems that Konami has taken all the criticism to heart, pouring the care, polish, and respect into Vol. 2 that this legendary saga deserved from the start. It’s the kind of game preservation that I feel every remaster should aim for, and I cannot recommend this collection enough. Whether you’re a long-time veteran returning to watch the sun set on Solid Snake’s final mission or a newcomer finally getting the chance to experience the complete timeline from start to finish, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is an absolute must-play. It honors Kojima’s original cinematic vision while stripping away the technical limitations of 2008, delivering a definitive package that ensures Snake’s legendary farewell will live on for generations to come. Seriously, guys, this is it. This is what all of us Metal Gear Solid fans have been waiting for all this time.”

Latest: Dream Echo

Rectify GamingAug 21, 2026Score 45

“Developed as a PoE-like, DreamEcho is an ARPG that places heavy emphasis on gear and broken synergies, tasking the player with creating a broken build to take on an endless dream world. The game's combat leaves much to be desired, as well as its automated translation, which makes creating builds difficult. While thematically brilliant, DreamEcho simply fails to engage on multiple fronts.”

“Konami has once again shown that the Metal Gear Solid franchise is definitely back, bringing back two of the most iconic titles from the PlayStation 3 and PSP era. With visual improvements, modernized controls, and the addition of Brazilian Portuguese subtitles, the collection offers a more accessible way to experience some of the most important stories in Snake’s journey.”

“You’ll likely be picking this up for METAL GEAR SOLID 4, its long-overdue port finally making the rounds with this latest Master Collection entry. But don’t sleep on Peace Walker either—both are incredibly fun games and shine like beautiful lights even after twenty whole years, thanks to this great port. ∎”

“Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 really stands out thanks to Guns of the Patriots. The rest are really just curiosities. Peace Walker has its moments, but after Phantom Pain it won’t surprise anyone. The rest is just cosmetic tweaks and nostalgia. Boxed editions are becoming a thing of the past, so buy them whilst they’re still affordable.”

“Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 delivers exactly what a collection like this should. It keeps the games recognizable, fixes what needed fixing, and brings iconic titles to platforms where more players can access them. Guns of the Patriots is finally freed from the PS3 and runs at a stable 4K/60fps, without those mid-campaign installation screens. Peace Walker proves that its management systems still hold up great years later. Ghost Babel is included as a crucial part of the series' handheld history. The only missing pieces are Metal Gear Online 2 and a unified launcher.”

GamerskyAug 21, 2026Score 90

“STEINS;GATE's place in the medium hardly needs explaining. It has long since established itself as one of the most successful visual novels ever made. With STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT completely remaking the original using modern technology, there was little reason to expect much in the way of new content. All it really needed to do was preserve as much of the original experience as possible. Fortunately, STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT does a pretty good job of that, at least more so than STEINS;GATE ELITE.”

“Future Knight will leave you scratching your head for the majority of its four-hour runtime thanks to the many moments of confusion it brings, but there is a strong platform shooter in there with fun challenges, attempting to escape the absurdity surrounding it. If everything I’ve said sounds great to you, then I hope you have a good time, but for others it might all be a little too much.”

“This collection might have fewer games than the first volume, but it feels more substantial and respectful. MGS4 is the star, finally accessible to everyone, and the overall polish proves Konami is serious about preserving Kojima's legacy. It's not a flawless celebration, but it is a vital step forward for one of gaming's most influential sagas.”

“Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 2 continues the high quality established by the first collection in the series, though slightly slimmer in the content it offers. That being said, you'll be more than treated with a fantastic new version of Metal Gear Solid 4, and the handheld frays of the series to make for a whole tapestry that everyone can now enjoy, alongside the first volume.”

“The Sinking City 2 is mysterious, strange, clear, and beautiful all at once. The game has its flaws here and there, but is certainly not below average. Locations and many other elements are reminiscent of other franchises in the survival horror genre. Although I didn't encounter any game-breaking bugs or glitches, the game does have some technical, graphical, and audiovisual flaws. The puzzles are complex and complicated at times, which can occasionally lead to frustration. Otherwise, the game offers a nicely balanced horror element, and the changes in the world are well-developed as you progress through the story. Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and The Last of Us 2, all three to a reasonable degree, have gained a little brother. The direction is good, the camerawork excellent, and the story sometimes very surprising and mysterious, yet nowhere do those last elements feel out of place. Only the polish sometimes leaves something to be desired.”
