TL;DR? If you have never played Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater, Delta isn’t bad, if you have... Well, you have already played this game once, and if you are a fan, you have done so more than once.

Delta is a code for code remake, and while it suffers from weird performance issues, the biggest problem is that it's a game that either you played in the '00s, and this game does feel like it, or you have never played it. Impressive looking, but even the Phantom Pain plays better, even if it's not the better game. If you have never played any MGS, Delta isn't a bad one to pick up, it is maybe not the best starting place nor is it the best game of the mechanics it has, see Phantom Pain, nor is it really doing anything special and that's kind of the damning praise. If you made a movie shot-for-shot but did nothing to make it different or new, is that a movie worth seeing again?

The long answer for me is yes, but I don't know if that's just the nostalgia to relive something again, vaguely fresh. Snake Eater was always the tightest of the narratives, but that’s also why it's kind of the weakest of the Metal Gear Solid franchise in terms of understanding it. There isn't a Meh button, and while I don't regret the money I spent to relive the magic again 20 years later, I don't know if I can safely tell other people it has magic for the full retail.
