There are concepts from Death Stranding that I think are really cool. AAA delivery simulator with connected community interaction seems like a good base for something, and clearly a lot of people resonated with it.

As for myself, I'm really not a fan of stealth and every section with BTs is just frustrating. I also cannot muster much interest in the story, the world situation is somewhat intriguing but I feel like if I'm going to get anything out of this I have to stick with it until the end, and I really don't feel like putting in the time on something I'm barely enjoying.
