As a kid, MGS2 was my favorite. In college, MG: AC!D, and now as an adult, MGS:V.

I think that Kojima has gotten less absurd, but more pretentious, and I'm fine with that; it's hard to appreciate video games much otherwise.

My favorite boss fights are: Vulcan Raven in MGS1, Fat Man and Metal Gear Ray in MGS 2, and The End in MGS3.

Idk. Death Stranding was absurd even by Kojimas standards...

Yet somehow less absurd than the Colonel in MGS2 trying to stop Raiden from reaching the final boss by talking to the player and telling them to put down the controller and go outside to enjoy nature. :D

He's always gonna be weird, but he used to be more fun about it.

I think he's moved away from absurdism, and more towards surrealism: less existential and more fantastical or dream-like: Amelie and BTs and BBs, versus FOXHOUND or the Sons of Liberty.
