About

The main story takes about 22 hours. It was nominated for 1 award.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Story

In 2014, the world is in chaos, the "war economy" plunging the world into never-ending battle. This fuels the need for private military companies, the five largest of which (together rivaling the power of the entire United States Army) are owned by a single mother company, Outer Heaven, with Liquid Ocelot at the helm. Liquid Ocelot, a fusion of the consciousness of Liquid Snake and the body of Revolver Ocelot, is once again set on world domination. Solid Snake, now also referred to a Old Snake due to his advanced accelerated ageing, is dispatched to assassinate Liquid Ocelot as a personal favor to Roy Campbell.

What is happening now

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots concluded Kojima Productions' legendary stealth-shooter franchise on PlayStation 3 in 2008, tasking itself with resolving decades of interconnected narrative involving Solid Snake, Ocelot, Otacon, and Raiden. The game has found renewed attention following its inclusion in the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, which brings the PS3 exclusive to Switch 2 with improved presentation. Coverage indicates the re-release represents the definitive way to experience Kojima's ambitious, if unconventional, final chapter in the series - a game that remains as divisive as it was upon release, yet stands as a substantial technical and storytelling achievement despite its narrative complexity.
