Ranking Every PlayStation Classic Game From Worst To Best
3. Metal Gear Solid
Hideo Kojima's stealth-action classic takes the bronze on this list, but the entire top four have a claim at the top spot in truth. It just misses out because, similar to Resident Evil, this outing was amazing but has been improved upon with subsequent releases, while the top 2 might be the best their franchises have ever been.
For many Konami fans though, Metal Gear Solid is the one they can't wait to sink their teeth into. Like many truly great games, Metal Gear Solid is bigger than the game itself. Without all the groundwork it laid for stealth gameplay, we might not have gotten Dishonoured, Hitman or Assassin's Creed. We certainly wouldn't have gotten Splinter Cell.
It's not just the stealth-heavy titles though; games across the board, from Horizon: Zero Dawn, Mass Effect and The Witcher, all owe a something to MGS. It's a given these days that the top games have intricate storylines to match Hollywood, but a lot of that is down to the work Kojima did here.
