The gameplay was fun (though I agree about the ghosts), but I found the writing obnoxious. Super melodramatic and weirdly absurdist, but at the same time really quite tedious.
This was my experience. I bounced off it a few times, then finally got some of the interesting gear, then realized I had >!reconnected a player-built Zipline section in the last area of the game!<, was nearing its end, and I didn’t wanna leave the world quite yet hahah.
One of the few open-world games that I enjoyed just existing in, doing the menial busy-work. Growing attached to my carts as Norman Reedus grows attached to BB… Such a bizarre experience.
I never played Death Stranding. Maybe 2025, love the concept!
It was a fun chill game til the scary ghosts got involved…

I got bored and read up the plot and decided that I’m good and then picked up another game.
Same. The intro is long like any Kojima game.
Then I tried it a year later and forced myself past the 5 hour mark.
Then another five hours.
Then 40+ hours later, I realized I do love this game. This really stupidly weird game.
