This is a very faithful remake of original MGS3. Maybe too faithful. I would've love to see Konami took more risk with this game. Maybe let players listen to codec call while playing or expand the map a little bit (or at least stitch them together so we don't have too many loading transition screen.

The combat is fine and improved but Snake's movement feels a bit stiff compared to MGS5. One thing that shocked me the most is that this game is surprisingly short. I'm currently doing high chaos/full lethal playthrough on Extreme difficulty, having a blast killing and eating everything that moves.
This is still a very good game and a great entry point for newcomers. Hopefully they remake MGS4 next because that game desperately needs to be freed from PS3 ecosystem.
Man. Graphics in this game are kind of impressive. The texture of the face paint is so good I can feel it cracking.
