A look at Hideo Kojima's Snatcher.
Metal Gear is my favourite series of all time - in any medium. The games seamlessly blend comedy, melodrama and filmic elements while still pushing gameplay to the forefront, unlike many other film-like games. I would consider myself to be an unabashed fan of Hideo Kojima's work. Even the unfinished Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Death Stranding - a game about parcel delivery - I adore, and consider to be two of the most interesting games made in the last decade.
From the start, you're treated to Masahiro Ikariko's incredible soundtrack. From the game's opening moments, before you even get to take control, you're treated to the incredibly oppressive 'BIO-HAZARD' as you find out about the history of Snatchers.
You even have that signature Kojima final act where there's barely any gameplay and you're treated to pure exposition, filled with late-game plot twists that change the context of the entire story. Snatcher's storytelling feels miles ahead of anything else released by 1988. So much so in fact that even games lauded at the time for their cinematic elements, like Ninja Gaiden, feel lacking in comparison.
