Something I've never heard people talk about when it comes to some of Hideo Kojima's games is the creep factor.
Yes creepy, I've always found a few of his games to be have a mildly creepy, eerie atmosphere, nothing major, but still something I've felt but have never seen mentioned by anyone else, is it just me?
Metal Gear Solid with it's nighttime, snowy atmosphere, dank, dark hallways or moments like seeing the hallway with all the dead bodies for the first time or the fight against Psycho Mantis, I would definitely describe the game as having an eerie atmosphere at times.
Metal Gear Solid 2 less so, but definitely as the game gets more mind bending near the end, it gets fairly creepy and the music during Arsenal's Guts is creepy.
Then we have Zone of The Enders and for some reason that's a game that has always creeped me out, weird I know, but something about being on a nighttime space station totally devoid of human life, with even the enemies being AI drones and the eerie music, always creeped me out somewhat.
But that's about it, I don't think much of anything in MGS3 was creepy, other than the fight with The Sorrow, and I didn't find anything to be creepy in MGS4 or MGS5 at all.
But the one time he did make a full on horror game, PT, it was so damn scary that people are still talking about it 5 years later even though it's a game made up mostly of two hallways and a bathroom, which I think proves Kojima does have some chops in creeping you out.
I look forward to seeing what he has in store with Death Stranding, which definitely looks to have horror elements to me.
