Hideo Kojima is one of the biggest names in gaming, and gamers have flocked to his work for decades after the Metal Gear series popularized the stealth genre. His games are known for their intricate gameplay, attention to detail, and cinematic cutscenes, though many have found his unconventional storytelling style too eccentric. Throughout his storied career, Kojima has produced many notable projects, but perhaps his most controversial release is P.T.
