This series is a love letter to the 80s, with a particular fondness for Kurt Russell’s character, Snake Pliskin, taking center stage. Its stealth-based gameplay was a nice change of pace when the first game came out, but it also facilitated eavesdropping and spying on various NPCs. Believe me when I say that they are eccentric and say weird things. There’s also a fair amount of crazy technology, plot twists, and porno mags. It can be hard to follow at times, but for hardcore fans, the weirdness is extremely endearing.
