Just finished the sniper guarding segment in Metal Gear Solid 2 (I am currently playing through the series for the first time)

I feel like it has been years since I've had to lock in so hard for a game to the point I kind of staggered away feeling physically exhausted afterwards.

I did enjoy it but at the same time what the fuck were the devs thinking not having inverse y directional controls for the swimming sections. I don't think I have ever played another game that used that and I kept smashing Raiden's pretty little head on every solid surface just trying to get him from point A to point B because the controls feel SO wrong.
