As of September 1, roughly 1,300 reviews had been posted, with 95 percent positive. The game is the first port of the 2008 PS3 original, which had been playable only on that console for 18 years. It is included in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 and is also sold separately as a download. The story is set five years after the Big Shell incident of Metal Gear Solid 2, in an era where private military companies have turned war into business, and follows Solid Snake's final battle. The port keeps the series' stealth action, with the Threat Ring threat detection, the Solid Eye search tool, and the OctoCamo camouflage system.","whyItMatters":"The first port of a game locked to the PS3 for 18 years is being welcomed on Steam, while Peace Walker, the other major title in the same Master Collection Vol.2, is drawing Mixed reviews over keyboard and mouse issues and missing Japanese audio for overseas buyers.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe port runs at 60fps, up from the 30fps cap of the 2008 PS3 original, and Steam users have also noted that it is lightweight.
