Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Review – Snake's Later Adventures Hold Up on Switch 2

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 lands on Switch 2, bundling MGS4: Guns of the Patriots and Peace Walker into one package for Nintendo players who missed these later entries in Hideo Kojima's stealth series.

The collection picks up where Vol. 1 left off — MGS4 wraps up Solid Snake's story, while Peace Walker, originally a PSP title, follows Big Boss in the aftermath of Snake Eater. Both games are also available individually on the Switch eShop if you only want one of them. The review notes this is a great compilation overall, continuing the work Vol. 1 started when it launched in 2023.

Vol. 1 had a rough start — it shipped with notable issues but received significant updates post-launch that brought it up to scratch. Vol. 2 arrives with that history in mind, carrying the same Master Collection branding and presumably the lessons learned from the first release. Kojima's original MGS trilogy formed the backbone of Vol. 1, covering the classic PS1 and PS2 era; Vol. 2 extends that into the PS3 and PSP generation, rounding out the Solid Snake and Big Boss storylines.

For Switch 2 owners who want the full Kojima stealth experience in one place, this collection makes a strong case — especially for anyone who never played MGS4 or Peace Walker on their original hardware.
