Konami's new Snake Eater remake is the best way to now experience Metal Gear Solid 3, but it could have been even better.

Snake Eater is a faithful remake that is too afraid of its own legacy to take any risks.” With series visionary and creator Hideo Kojima out of the picture, Konami chose the route of a shot-for-shot remake with almost no creative liberties.

Between its old-school stealth-action gameplay and engaging spy-thriller story, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater largely succeeds as a faithful, visually impressive remake of the 2004 classic.
