Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Review Roundup – Incredible Comeback of A Fan-Favorite

Expert Verified By

Konami's Big Hit After Silent Hill 2 Remake!

Story Highlight
  • Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake has received incredibly positive reviews so far.
  • The game currently averages a score of 85/100 on Metacritic, putting it on par with Silent Hill 2 Remake.
  • Critics have praised the game’s faithfulness to the original and the new quality-of-life changes.

Konami confirmed Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake more than two years ago, and after unparalleled excitement, the game is finally ready to be released.

Although Hideo Kojima may not be too impressed by the publisher’s work on recreating one of his biggest hits, critics seem to be blown away by Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake in nearly every way. The game’s first reviews are out, and they are quite positive.

Why it matters: Many believed Konami would not be able to capture the soul and charm of Hideo Kojima’s work on Metal Gear Solid with the remake. Similar concerns were raised about Silent Hill 2 Remake ahead of launch.

Currently, the game stands at an average of 85/100 on Metacritic. This puts the remake in the same ballpark as Silent Hill 2, marking another strong release for the publisher. The following are a few of the initial review scores for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake:

  • IGN – 8/10
  • Gamespot – 9/10
  • Game Informer – 9/10
  • ComicBook – 7/10
  • Noisy Pixel – 9/10

Critics have praised Konami and developer Virtuos’ willingness to stay faithful to the original title in the remake. The game’s visuals and quality-of-life changes have also garnered praise, allowing the remake to strike a balance between the new and old elements.

Perhaps the biggest strength is the fact that many believe Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake is now the definitive experience. According to critics, this version makes it hard to imagine playing the original release from 2004.

On the other hand, some have pointed out that the remake carries over the flaws of the original. They argue that Konami could have changed more elements of Metal Gear Solid 3 with this re-release.

Anyhow, the reception has been largely positive, and Konami is likely to be pleased with the initial reactions. Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake officially launches next week, so it will be interesting to see what general audiences have to say about this re-release.
