MGS 2. The messages and themes were so ahead of its time and are slapping hard now in the age of social media and AI. The game itself had to be delayed in 2001 for a few months because the final boss fight took place on the twin towers. It subverted so many expectations till the end, leaving us not knowing what to believe. It even spoke about memes before most of us even knew what that word meant.

The gameplay is incredible too. Tactical with solid mechanics. Was absurdly detailed to the levels of red dead 2, during the age of ps2. For example, ice would melt in real time. Plus it cements snake as one of the coolest characters ever.

Most are. Some aren’t
