Much like other franchises on this list, the Metal Gear franchise makes it tricky to choose a favourite.

Your favourite will probably depend on what you like best out of your Metal Gear games, but there are a good portion of fans who single out Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as the best of the bunch. The moment-to-moment gameplay, engrossing story, and memorable characters impressed players in particular. Not to mention the locations riddled with things to find, new approaches to discover, and secrets that add to the world-building and narrative as a whole. The stealth gameplay and style is iconic, the narrative is dense and cinematic, and the end-to-end experience is hugely memorable.

Hideo Kojima is a master at creating video games and Metal Gear Solid 3 is a perfect example of that.
