MGS2 is great but people are too blindsided by the concept of its themes rather than the execution of how it explores them. Conceptually the game sounds amazing until you remember 90% of what it covers is done through codec exposition dumps. Great audiobook, terrible game.

It is terrible at telling the story, but gameplay wise it is pretty good.
Much better than shit like TLOU.

If you're complaining that it doesn't explore the info control plot through gameplay, there are a few gameplay segments that parallel MGS1, e.g. waiting for the elevator; backtracking for the PSG1; Rex/Ray fight; Hind D/harrier fight; Raven/Fatman fight...

Even an actual cutscene would've been better, codec was always a shit narrative device
