Ranking the Metal Gear series
(N4G PC)

Polygon: With the debut of Metal Gear Survive, one of gamings longest-running franchises closes the book on one era and begins a new one. For nearly three decades, Metal Gear held a unique place among video game sagas. The series debuted in 1987 as the brainchild of a young designer by the name of Hideo Kojima, and with just a few exceptions Kojima shepherded each item through the years. Unfortunately, Kojima underwent a messy divorce from Metal Gear publisher Konami toward the end of development on 2016s Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, and the two have parted ways.
