Top 10 Best Metal Gear Games

When it comes to stealth, intrigue, and deeply woven storylines, few game series have left as big an impact as Metal Gear. Exploring the best games in the Metal Gear universe is a journey through the evolution of action, espionage, and narrative depth that has shaped the stealth genre as we know it. From the early 8-bit roots on the MSX2 and NES to the cinematic, open-world landscapes of later entries, each game brings something unique to the table.
The Top Ten
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

The greatest Metal Gear game. The stealth, the story, and the gameplay add up to one of the best PS2 games. Not to mention it sets up Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain, all looking amazing.

This isn't just the best MGS game ever. It's the best video game of all time. Perfect story, characters, bosses, and gameplay. There is no fault with this game at all.

The best stealth action game in history! The best boss fight in the MGS franchise. The truth about the legendary soldier and the best villain of Metal Gear: Big Boss.

Metal Gear Solid

This game is Kojima's masterpiece. It doesn't need other games to help tell its story because it works as a standalone title. The gameplay was challenging, while it also helped accommodate the story at times. This game was revolutionary and will always stand as one of the greatest games of all time.

In my opinion, one of the best games ever made! Interesting story, wonderful music, amazing bosses, and easy-to-understand gameplay. A revolution!

By far the best in the series. Fantastic story, interesting characters, easy-to-understand gameplay, and amazing bosses.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

An incredible end to the story of Solid Snake. Great graphics, genuinely heartfelt moments and characters, excellent music, a beautiful tone - it's all here.

The second newest one and, in my opinion, the best one. A lot of fun and only on PS3. One of the most popular games on PS3. Really good!

Why is this number 2? This is definitely the best one. Using the Octocamo is just awesome, and the storyline is insane. It concludes Solid Snake's story in a really great way. Definitely deserves number 1.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

It's not the story of the game that does it for me. It's the fact that this game is very post-modern. Kojima basically predicted the future of technology and the internet.

Intriguing story, mature themes, extremely controversial. This is hands down one of my most favorite games from the MGS series.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

My favorite entry in the series. I didn't even think the story was thin or lackluster. It had so much more atmosphere than the other games (and boy, did the others have atmosphere!) that I felt entirely sad when I hit the end after about 170 hours of sheer fun, entertainment, joy, and sadness. I usually don't like open-world games that much, but this didn't feel like a video game anymore to me. It felt like an experience. It was one of my top three video game experiences of all time, and I'm truly grateful I was able to experience this ride.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

This is honestly my favorite in the entire franchise because it's like... I don't know, but I love the cutscenes and the interactive cutscenes. The only bad thing is the torture chamber escape because you have to mash down the triangle. Still, 10/10 IGN Rating.

Amazing! The story, the action, the strategy, the amazing boss fights! The best boss fights I have experienced in a game in a very long time! Plus the cool art cutscenes!

Incredible! Loved the Operations side of it. Recruiting soldiers and building up the base felt great. The downside was the bosses, and I didn't have that great of a feel for the cutscene style.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Love Raiden. Best gameplay in the series.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Much better than Peace Walker. It has real bosses and a real story. This is not a build-your-base simulator where you fight robots. This is a solid game.

Ten times better than Peace Walker. Tighter gameplay and story, and pretty good bosses. I strongly recommend you play it.

Metal Gear

The original one that revolutionized the stealth genre of gaming. Nothing more to say.

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

The Newcomers

? Metal Gear Acid 2
? Metal Gear Survive

10/10 greatest game, most underrated game in the series. I play this game daily. I have 500 hours or more. I can't stop playing. Forget Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3, this is the best. THANK YOU KONAMI!

The Contenders
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

My favorite Metal Gear game. Ground Zeroes is simply awesome!

Great game, but the only problem is it's too short.

Metal Gear Solid (Game Boy Color)
Metal Gear Acid
Metal Gear Solid Touch
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel
