Metal Gear Solid 1 is a 7/10

I re-watched the Easy Livin' playthrough of MGS1. How do you guys feel MGS1 holds up?

The game is 10/10 vibes. Like Ocarina of Time, people liked it back then because it was revolutionary. It is a summer blockbuster like Uncharted 2. But as a game, it turns into a boss rush after the first 20% of the story.

Eighty percent of the game is codec messages and cutscenes. Gameplay wise it feels like a mini-game. It's like Stealthy Snoop from Donkey Kong 64. Compared to MGS4 (Act 2), all you can do is maneuver around enemies and snap their necks or shoot them.
