Totally agreed on the Psycho Mantis mechanics…so incredibly innovative, and something truly unique that had never been done before. Thank you for the comment and the kind words!

Nice summary of the legacy if MGS. I still marvel at Psycho Mantis, and clearly remember them making my Dualshock jump across the floor after telling me to put it down. Not ’Perfect’, but as near as anyone’s come in 50y of gaming. Like you said, a Masterpiece.
