Back in July Microsoft was reportedly looking to sell Ninja Theory to an unnamed buyer, the buyer has fallen through.

>Third, an update on our studio divestitures: In August, Compulsion and Double Fine returned to management with their IP, back catalogs, and runway funding. Undead Labs has now successfully transitioned on similar terms and, with a new publisher, will release State of Decay 3 day one on Game Pass. Unfortunately, two separate agreements for Ninja Theory fell through. We will now begin consultation with employees on a proposed closure while continuing to explore other paths forward. Consultation with Arkane remains underway and is expected to continue through the end of the year.

We'd love to hear what first made you a fan of the series, along with the one scene that you'll always remember!

ComingSoon.net - Tyler Treese - 9.5 / 10

>Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is another home-run release by Konami, which continues to do a great job of making its back catalog available on modern systems.

Console-Tribe - Simone Cantini - Italian - 65 / 100

>Metal Gear Solid Master Collection: Volume 2 is yet another sign that Konami is coasting on Snake’s legacy, relying on a brand that keeps shining despite everything. The three included games remain heavyweight works, still capable of telling a crucial chapter of gaming history, but the package around them is so lazy it makes the already modest Volume 1 look almost committed. The bare‑bones upscale, recycled assets, blurry cutscenes, and total lack of meaningful enhancement reveal an approach focused more on the logo on the box than on the quality of the offering. The material deserved far better, and while die‑hard fans will fill the gaps with their affection for the series, everyone else is left with the sense of a missed opportunity — a tribute that could have celebrated a legendary saga but merely resells it, without conviction, hoping it’s enough.

DayOne - Genghis Husameddin - 9 / 10

>You’ll likely be picking this up for METAL GEAR SOLID 4, its long-overdue port finally making the rounds with this latest Master Collection entry. But don’t sleep on Peace Walker either—both are incredibly fun games and shine like beautiful lights even after twenty whole years, thanks to this great port. ∎

Multiplayer First - James Lara - 10 / 10

>It took eighteen years, but Old Snake is finally free of his cell architecture prison. It shines strong on modern platforms, which is surprising, considering how Vol. 1 turned out. But it seems that Konami has taken all the criticism to heart, pouring the care, polish, and respect into Vol. 2 that this legendary saga deserved from the start. It’s the kind of game preservation that I feel every remaster should aim for, and I cannot recommend this collection enough. > >Whether you’re a long-time veteran returning to watch the sun set on Solid Snake’s final mission or a newcomer finally getting the chance to experience the complete timeline from start to finish, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is an absolute must-play. It honors Kojima’s original cinematic vision while stripping away the technical limitations of 2008, delivering a definitive package that ensures Snake’s legendary farewell will live on for generations to come. > >Seriously, guys, this is it. This is what all of us Metal Gear Solid fans have been waiting for all this time.

Pizza Fria - Lucas Soares - Portuguese - 8.5 / 10

>Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 preserves better than it modernizes. That phrase probably best summarizes my experience with the collection. The stories remain excellent and represent some of the most important moments in Metal Gear. Especially Metal Gear Solid 4, which finally ceases to be limited to the PlayStation 3 after so many years.

Push Square - John Cal McCormick - 8 / 10

>After nearly twenty years chained to the proverbial radiator that is the PlayStation 3, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots finally arrives on PS5. The nanomachines, the fashion model robot monsters, the flamenco dance battle, the fried eggs, the cigarette smoking underpants monkey, and that ridiculous final boss, all running at 60 frames-per-second and looking better than ever. This is good, isn't it?

---

TodoJuegos - Jorge Guerrero - Spanish - 8.7 / 10

>Konami brings back three very different pieces of Metal Gear, from Solid Snake’s emotional finale to Peace Walker’s tactical foundations and Ghost Babel’s handheld curiosity. Not everything is remastered equally, but the historical value of the package is huge.

---

TryAGame! - Guillaume Dreher - French - 8 / 10

>50 euros for 2 games (and a half) that will delight fans of the license who could not have made them at the time or the new ones, come by the grace of the Death Stranding. It lacks more than the Metal Gear Acid to make the collection complete. Current games on their theme (AI, privatization of armed conflicts) and that have not really aged on the gameplay or their aesthetics.

---

Uagna - Silvia Mannu - Italian - 8 / 10

>The main mission of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 is to revive and rediscover two truly great games. Metal Gear Solid 4 is an imperfect but utterly unique experience. Its endless cutscenes and uneven pacing put your patience to the test, and its pacing hasn’t aged well, but its ambition, emotional depth, and moments of nostalgia are hard to match. Kojima told the story he wanted to tell, no matter how long-winded or bizarre it might be. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is truly a must-play title. Although it began as a Metal Gear Solid game for a handheld console, it remains an extremely well-rounded game, featuring all its elements of stealth, strategy, co-op missions, and, of course, Kojima’s signature storytelling. Finally, Ghost Babel is a most welcome addition: an almost-forgotten entry that’s now available on all modern platforms. It’s a shame about the absence of certain games that would have perfectly rounded out this collection such as Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and the two Metal Gear Ac!d titles—and especially about the half-hearted nature of these ports, which unfortunately offer no technical improvements.

A simple "How many entries are between date X and date Y"

The formula I used was:

=COUNTIFS(C:C,">=1/1/1951",C:C,"<=31/12/1959")

It's the same one that I saw in tutorials but for some reason it doesnt work on my sheet.
