Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a technically flawless remake of a game that remains iconic. But that means it comes with all the strengths and weaknesses of the original

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a top-notch remake that manages to be both respectful of the past and significantly alter its essence. The game is a legendary chapter in an immortal saga, so its value as a game is undeniable. Konami has introduced several new features, both in terms of gameplay and content, although the game still shows its age in some aspects. Aside from a few minor technical issues (including a less than flawless fluidity), the nostalgia effort can easily be described as a success.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a safe remake, but it’s a successful one. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or take bold creative risks, but it doesn’t need to. What it does is preserve one of the greatest stealth action games of all time, bring it up to modern visual standards, and make it accessible for a new generation.
Never had the chance to play this masterpiece? Jump right in without looking back. Are you a die-hard fan of the series? This is an excellent purchase. But if you fall outside of either of these categories, it might be best to wait before buying it. Yes, the game is beautiful and stays true to the original work from start to finish, which is perfect for purists. But the lack of additional content does not justify its high price tag. Despite this, we hope that sales will satisfy Konami and give us what we really want: a remake of the first Metal Gear Solid!

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater succeeds in bringing back a 2000s classic with revamped graphics and modernized controls, making the gameplay experience more satisfying. However, Konami falls short by staying too faithful to Hideo Kojima’s original work, missing opportunities to introduce changes that could have made the gameplay even better.

MGS Delta is very close to the perfect remake. Every change improves the game, and the most important aspects of the original are preserved. Despite technical issues, this is the best way to experience Big Boss' origin story.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a smartly modernised remake of a revered classic, undercut by poor optimisation.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater takes an all-time classic and faithfully recreates it for modern audiences. It feels somewhat safe with its dedication to not expand on the original, recreating every single moment faithfully, but its new gameplay mechanics make it feel fresh once again. This is a must-play for long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise.
There is no doubt about the quality of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as a remake of one of the greatest titles ever. And no matter how much praise it deserves, it is impossible to hide a certain disappointment in realizing that this may be the only path forward for Konami’s series.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the definitive way to experience one of the best games in a series known for its excellence. Some technical issues can mar the overall package, but there is no denying how much work has gone into this remake.
"A faithful remake with a modern touch" Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater isn't just a remake; it's a heartfelt tribute that reintroduces the 2004 masterpiece with cutting-edge visuals and audio, perfectly suited for a new generation. The game retains its espionage depth and intense drama, while adding Unreal Engine 5 graphics and iconic voice acting that enhances immersion. Despite some remnants of the original's structure and occasional frame drops, this is an essential experience for both long-time fans and newcomers.

Metal Gear Solid Δ retells one of the greatest stories in gaming history, but it fails to deliver a true remake. It feels closer to a remaster with enhanced visuals, while the gameplay remains outdated and not up to today’s standards. In short, the game is primarily aimed at those who missed out on experiencing the third part. But if you’re expecting a remake that rivals modern ones, prepare for plenty of disappointments.

The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is a copy of the original game, but there's something about it that makes it feel different: it lacks soul. It will appeal to die-hard fans and attract new ones to the Metal Gear universe.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preserves Kojima’s masterpiece while overhauling visuals and streamlining controls, making this the definitive way to relive a classic.
This remake doesn’t just revisit a classic—it elevates it, making MGS3 feel alive, daring, and essential for both newcomers and longtime fans.
MGS3 has always been hailed as arguably the best game in the franchise, so how do you improve on it with a remake? Simple. You leave it alone and make it look pretty. That’s exactly what Delta has done.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is a faithful remake to a fault. While it's a recommended experience for newcomers or fans who barely remember the original game, its lack of boldness leaves the title disappointing for fans accustomed to the authenticity that is the franchise's hallmark.

Though incredibly faithful to the original, severe performance issues plague this remake of Snake Eater. While the game could and likely will be made playable down the line, it is hard to recommend the title at the time of writing, where severe framerate issues and engine-level crashes plague the PC version of the game.
Metal Gear Delta - using the Greek letter that signifies change or difference in mathematics - takes the inner-core of the Snake Eater from two decades ago and acts as a new shell around it, largely superficially with some mechanical adjustments. It is a new wrapper for an old candy bar, a new doll with an extraneous new hat, a dusting of makeup before taking the stage, and despite all of those caveats, it’s still a new coat of paint for one of the most incredible gaming experiences of all time.
