Today on IGN, we delve into the world of game development maestro Hideoko Kojima, ranking his creations from the lows of Police Knots to the highs of Metal Gear Solid 5. Starting with Police Knots, we see Kojima's early foray into graphic adventures, setting the stage for his future innovations. Snatcher, a cyberpunk gem, showcases Kojima's ability to push boundaries with its extreme themes and unique storytelling.
Metal Gear 2 emerges as a pivotal moment in Kojima's career, introducing crucial mechanics that would shape the stealth game genre. However, it's Metal Gear Solid 4 that marks a dramatic conclusion to Solid Snake's saga, though criticized for its excessive focus on cutscenes. The original Metal Gear, a groundbreaking title, kickstarted the stealth action genre with its gripping Cold War narrative.
In Death Stranding, Kojima takes a departure from Konami, delivering a post-apocalyptic narrative starring Norman Reedus. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker on the PSP stands out as a canonical entry with innovative gameplay mechanics, bridging the gap between handheld and console gaming. Lastly, Metal Gear Solid 5 shines as Kojima's swan song in the Metal Gear series, offering unparalleled gameplay experiences and diverse playstyles. And let's not forget PT, a bone-chilling teaser for Silent Hills that left players yearning for more.
