In this review/critique of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (from the perspective of a long-time fan), let's discuss the evolution of game remakes over the years, video game preservation, playing in release order, whether new players should start here and ultimately how Delta really is just Snake Eater... for better and worse.
