Review scores for METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.2 are in, with the PS5 version holding an 85 Metacritic score across 28 reviews and the PC version at 80 across 14. The Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and Switch versions have not met the review count threshold.
Most critics center on METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS, calling its port the reason to buy the set.
