Hundreds of very short training challenges stripped from the original Metal Gear Solid — sneak past guards, clear a room, solve a weapon puzzle — set in abstract wireframe rooms with no world attached. It is the pure mechanical core of the game and nothing else. There is no story to speak of, and this PC release is a widely criticised port that many players replace with a community fix.

A standalone expansion to Shadow Tactics set in the same Edo-period Japan, with the same real-time squad stealth: pause, plan, and execute several characters' actions at once. If you finished the original and want more, this is exactly that. It is also only three real missions long, reuses maps from the base game, and adds nothing mechanically new.

The high point of the series and arguably of stealth: dynamic light and shadow you read as terrain, a knife, and levels with several genuine routes through them, plus a co-op campaign built for two. Twenty years on it holds up completely. The PC release does not — running it on modern hardware routinely needs community patches, and even then it crashes for many players.
