Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater takes players back to the Cold War, before Solid Snake even existed. We step into the skin of Naked Snake, whose story only reveals its full weight once the campaign ends and the chain of events that follows becomes clear. The plot remains the same as in the original: an infiltration into the Soviet jungle, a rescue-and-assassination mission, and a fight to survive both the animal kingdom and human stupidity.

Here comes October, and the spooky season is ringing at full volume. Even here, this month has gained a modern connotation that has long carried a specific dose of popularity and stereotypes worldwide.
