Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater

2025 · Konami · ~20h to finish

Provisional fingerprint. A first-pass estimate, not yet reviewed by players. It is excluded from rankings until enough people have rated it. Rating it is what fixes that — the form is further down this page.

  • Execution drops 0.6 points — you handle this better than most.
  • Reaction drops 0.5 points — you handle this better than most.
  • Assist options shave roughly 1.8 points off, if you use them.

These are generic numbers. Calibrate and this whole page re-scores around you.

What it is

A remake of the 2004 game, itself a prequel set in 1964: one agent, one jungle, no support, and a supply line you have to feed yourself by hunting and treating your own injuries.
