Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is a remaster compilation of three iconic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The compilation was developed and published by Konami, the owners of the IP.
The games included in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 tell the stories of a special operative infiltrating enemy bases, discovering their secrets and foiling their plans.
Metal Gear Solid stars Solid Snake, infiltrating Shadow Moses island in Alaska after it was taken over by FOXHOUND, a rogue special forces unit, tasked with bringing an end to their occupation before things get out of hand. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty begins aboard a tanker ship transporting a mech capable of launching nuclear missiles, afterwards shifting to a marine decontamination facility. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is set in the Soviet Union, where Naked Snake must survive in a jungle and stop the communists from winning the Cold War.
All games included in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 make use of the third-person perspective (TPP). The player must be stealthy, sneaking behind enemies or taking them by surprise. The third game significantly expanded the stealth aspect, letting us hide among dense vegetation or use different kinds of camouflage. Each game revolves around completing missions and facing enemies, who can be eliminated via firearms and various gadgets. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater also introduces some survival elements; the protagonist suffers realistic injuries and must eat regularly.
The games included inMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 haven't had their visuals upgraded much; instead they were adapted to widescreen resolutions.

Game Ratings for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Oliver Reynolds
Still, there’s no denying the quality on display with Sons of Liberty, and rarely has a sequel demonstrated such a drastic improvement with its visuals and gameplay. For all its indulgent quirks, Sons of Liberty is another seminal video game that fully deserves its reputation as one of the greatest of all time. It’s just a shame that Konami couldn’t max out its potential for its release on Switch, as this is a game that deserves all the love and care in the world.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Adam Beck
Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid remain some of the best stealth action games on the planet, so it’s disappointing they’ve been treated with such disregard. With that said, at the very least the Maser Collection is beautiful time capsule of how the series has evolved, even including translated encyclopedias of the games. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has plenty of technical frustrations, but at least it remains true to the classics.
God is a Geek: 9.5 / 10 by Chris White
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is a staggering piece of history that further cements the impact of Snake's legacy in gaming.
