Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! In this special episode, we are wrapping up our Metal Gear Solid series deep dive with one final retrospective on how we feel about the series.

It should go without saying, but this episode contains spoilers for the entirety of the Metal Gear Solid series. So, if you have not finished this game or any of the others in the series, and do not want to be spoiled, save this episode for later.

Thank you for listening! We hope you have fun.
