@WolfJay Death Stranding is one of those polarizing games. It’s huge stretches of pure mood. Soaking in the landscape and the feeling of distance traversal, broken up by weirdo Kojima storytelling.
I rate it one of my top 10 games, but you have to want that experience. Cresting over a hill after a fucking horror fest of passing through a terrible traversal section and seeing god-rays over the city you’ve been trying to reach. All while a new awesome song you haven’t heard spins up? Pretty great.
It helps to think of it like a traversal puzzle, but it is sometimes (purposefully) a slog.
