Reception

Recently revamped and improved old-school-inspired 3D stealth action experience on Switch

Rainy Night Creations are clearly huge Metal Gear Solid fans, and I feel bad giving it a bad review. But, with a heavy heart, I confirm that as far as MGS tributes go, this ain’t it. If you want to re-experience the joys of MGS, then just play MGS in the Master Collection. If you’re sick of that, play the VR Mission add-on (it’s great!). If you’re sick...

Calling Spy Drops a clone could potentially give the impression that it’s a well-made copy of a PS1-era classic. This is not the case: it feels more like someone tried to copy a game that was made nearly 30 years ago, but wasn’t talented enough to pull it off. It has a lot of the same features, but none of the quality that made MGS so beloved.

Whether in terms of its muddy visuals, poor controls, or muddled gameplay, this is a mess

Spy Drops tries to capture the surface-level feeling of Metal Gear Solid without understanding what made it a landmark title in 1998, or why it’s still considered one of the greatest games.
