I know I’m gonna fucking hate this game, but I’ve also been in my gaming comfort zone for too long and I need to shake that off, so I picked up Death Stranding.
My main concerns are:
Too much time navigating menus.
Navigating terrain will feel boring AF.
Too much time skipping cutscenes, or worse: unskippable cutscenes.
Boring combat.
I’m gonna give the story a shot, but I’m fairly certain the totality will amount to pretentious Kojima bullshit, and I’m not gonna waste time hate watching it only to yell about it in my review.
What I’m looking forward to: Conan 😂 And I know it’s a short cameo.
I feel like I’m going on a needlessly bizarre excursion given my knowledge about my gaming preferences and the gameplay in Death Stranding, but fuck it, maybe a drastic change will do me good.
I don’t remember navigating menus being particularly onerous.
Getting around is tedious at first, but soon you get vehicles, and, even better, this zipline thing that you can put anywhere. Those are fun to build and navigate.
The only recommended combat is tying your enemies up with ropes, or later, with a rope gun. (I wonder if Kojima is into bondage) I mean, you can kill the enemy couriers, but it’s not a good idea.
