From the moment you load up Metal Gear Solid Delta to when the credits roll, Hideo Kojima hangs over the production like The Sorrow, a long-dead member of the villainous Cobra unit who somehow still turns up for a boss fight. The Sorrow's emotion, the game takes pains to point out, is sadness. The melancholy of lost camaraderie, and the scars of the battlefield that never leave. Yet the character is actually presented as a prankster, popping up in cutscenes with a smile and a jape. Like a jilted lover, The Sorrow's defining characteristic is much simpler: he just can't let go.
What is it? A ground-up remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, widely considered the best game in the series.
