I understand why a lot of people were just pissed that THIS is what they got from the legendary Kojima, but I most certainly ain't.
This was a one of a kind experience for me. the MAN LOVES MOVIES. so WHAT did he do? make a CINEMATIC experience within a GAME.
Obviously he coulda just made a movie but I never deter away from a game cause it barely got gameplay (which Isn't true. I've seen more "walking" walking sims than this)
Loved the weirdness, the story and the characters. the Acting was ohhhhhh so satisfying. it was so....bizarre? to play something like this. The Open world was so breathtaking and atmospheric that I got lost on so many occasions, literally and metaphorically.
the Soundtrack was great as well, Love me some Khalid or Chvrches.

All in all I loved this wayyyy too much to give in any less than a full score. NOT for everyone, sure. but DEFINITELY for me.

Couldn't agree more but also worth mentioning it couldn't have worked nearly as well if it were a movie. It's much more video gamey than so many other video games because of how much the gameplay lends to the overarching narrative of connectivity. you wouldn't be able to feel the positivity of building bridges if you just watched and if there was no multiplayer element!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
