It's weird, dreadfully weird, enduringly weird, it doesn't work all the time, and it won't work for everyone, but it worked for me, and I feel very fortunate. From a presentation standpoint, it's perfect. The visuals, the score, and contains probably the best ensemble cast I've ever witnessed in a game (but how Mads and Norman got the nomination over Tommie I do not know). It took me a long time to finish- starting on pc, then restarting on PS5 with the new edition. But Kojima definitely crafted something so unlike anything I've ever played before that I feel like it's something you have to try at least once. I am so glad he is able to continue to make weird shit, and while Metal Gear was always somewhat based in reality Death Stranding throws proper nouns at you from the start and expects you to remember it all, and it rules for that. I hope he can continue to do this. Docked points because I cannot safely play this game with a beer in one hand without risking dropping all my cargo.
