I wrote a really extensive review of this game right here.
To me, this is a true hidden gem. I know that term gets abused quite a lot, but not a whole lot of people know about this one. Yet it's one of the most memorable 3D platformers I've played in awhile.
This was posted in December.
It’s similar to how Twitter users say Mastodon is “hard”. They want a 1:1 copy of Reddit or Twitter, and don’t want to learn new things because any kind of learning at all is unpleasant.
But that will change when—not if—the network effect of the social web becomes apparent.
I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.
There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.
Like Lemmy, I think the UI/UX of Mbin needs improvement. For example, just the other day, I tried to hide a specific community and was t able to easily discover how to do that.
This isn’t to say that Mbin is horrible. I’m using it right now. It just needs improvement.
Well, I know Lemmy, Mbin, and Piefed are imperfect but they will have to do.
As for me, I think I’ll indefinitely stop using Reddit except to keep r/Sizz on maintenance.
No more posting or commenting there.
Unnoticed? Not at all. The Guinness World of Records recognizes this game as the first to "utilise basic stealth game mechanics".

I happen to disagree with them, but they certainly noticed.
The reason you've never played this game is because it didn't have a dedicated cabinet. It used the Raster Scan Convert-a-Game system. Which means many of the cabinets that were once used for this game no longer host it. And if that's not enough 005 never got a home port.
It is also highly likely Konami knew about 005 since this game was developed and made by SEGA, got great reviews upon its release, and well, Metal Gear used its mechanics.
