Metal Gear is one of the most recognizable franchises in videogames. The series is still wildly popular after more than 33 years since the launch of the very first title, and out of all the boss fights and various antagonists Hideo Kojima has cooked up over the years, Solid Snake’s confrontation with Psycho Mantis is the most memorable. In fact, many believe it to be one of the best boss fights in videogame history.
I originally planned to go all-out and include some superlatives and other categories for this list. After some pondering, I would rather keep it simple but sincere. I mean, that’s basically been my M.O. for the past 9 months I’ve been writing at GameCritics.
HIGH Taking revenge on that scoundrel, Brady Culture.
LOW Getting stuck on a puzzle I was sure I remembered correctly.
WTF Even 14 years later, I still don’t get most of the pop references.
I had a strong year of gaming in 2020, although this was almost exclusively based on games released from other years.
HIGH Matches are quick and perfect for pickup-and-play.
LOW No online mode or bots for single players.
WTF Pressing start can pause the main menu screen.
Wasting no words, staffer Eugene Sax lays out his top picks for 2020!
You might not think you know Dan Marshall, but odds are good you’ve seen or played his games. The co-founder of BAFTA award-winning indie developer Size Five Games has overseen the creation of everything from sex-ed comedy shoot-’em-ups to 2D stealth/thievery, all the way to LucasArts adventure homages.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to pronounce 2020 a real Low and WTF of a year.
HIGH A surprising glow up…
LOW Boss battles.
WTF That dungeon under the city is huge.
Eugh. I shouldn’t have waited to do this.
