The inaugural volume of Konami's Metal Gear Solid Collection has been gracing gaming platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, for nearly two years. Since its debut, Konami has methodically rolled out updates that have refined the collection and its individual titles while resolving numerous bugs that players encountered upon its release.
So extensive are the enhancements that comparing the current edition to its launch version feels like comparing apples to oranges. To delve deeper into the evolution of the collection, Digital Foundry undertook a thorough examination of its present state. Their findings were encouraging, noting that the collection is "in a much better place with patch 2.0 installed, but the fundamental shortcomings are still frustrating." They also recommended that the ultimate experience comes from a modded PC version, while stating that the PlayStation 5 offers the finest console experience for this iconic series.
