He has a massive following for a reason, but nothing he’s done has ever truly appealed to me, personally.
Spicy opinions incoming:
- His dialogue is absolutely atrocious; I’m not convinced he’s ever spoken with a real human.
- His plotting is cliche and convoluted, and there is literally no excuse for a 70+ minute cutscene in any game. I get the sense he’d much rather be making movies but found success in games so keeps making them instead.
- The only Kojima game I’ve genuinely enjoyed was the original MGS; a preference which made way more sense when I learned that it’s also the only game in the series where he didn’t have full control over the localisation and a third party took care to try and make Kojima’s nonsense actually intelligible.

I’m not his fan, but that is too harsh. Metal Gear Solid series also has many strong entries, well received by critics and fans.

His characters stood more out as really cool back during the oil rig revolver vampire era.
