Hideo Kojima is more than just a video game designer. He refers to himself as an auteur and essentially handles nearly every aspect of every project that he's ever worked on. Some might refer to it as micro-managing, but we prefer to look at the results rather than what led up to it and, boy, has Kojima given gaming audiences some of the most memorable video games in history.
With that said, we've decided to round up some of the most notable Hideo Kojima games ever released, ranking them from the worst up to the very best.
Metal Gear
Do you know the best way to anger the Metal Gear fanbase? Tell them that the Metal Gear franchise is a diamond in the rough. Admittedly, the hatred and bashing you'd receive is well-deserved. After all, the Metal Gear franchise is widely regarded as one of the most influential if not popular stealth-action games in video games in history. Or, as Kojima himself liked to refer to the series' genre, Tactical Espionage Action.
Of course, while that might be the reputation of the Metal Gear series now, that wasn't necessarily the case way back in the 1980s.
The first-ever Metal Gear game, which was released in 1987 for the MSX2 before being ported over to other platforms such as the Famicom, was very much an unpolished gem and is difficult to go back to, even for hardcore fans. It wouldn't be until later on that Hideo Kojima would find his footing, or to so speak, and establish the foundations of the highly-praised franchise. Death Stranding Death Stranding might not have lived up to the hype, but it managed to carve out a sizable niche for itself that should warrant at least one sequel in the future.
