My first survival game, and I gotta tell you, I had one of the best experiences, all because I had my friends throughout the entirety of my playthroug, I can tell you for a fact that I cannot see myself playing this alone, nor do I find any replayibility for myself, I do understand why people make different runs of it, but is just not my type of game. I loved building 3 house though, build system on the game is pretty amazing
Playing a Kojima game for the first time might be a challenge, I was told, but you gotta start with something. For what I've been told this is not the most welcoming Kojima project, I tried 3 times to complete this game, it wasn't until I passed my 10 hours of game in which I got hooked to this game. In very few words what to expect from this game, over the moon visuals, a very, veeery unique gameplay, amazing story and heartwarming music. If you are the type of player that is in it for a story driven by its gameplay then this might not be your type of cookie, Kojima will always tell you what you can do whenever the story wants you to do it, you can see that with how MULES evolve through the story, how BTs are placed as you continue and so on. Without a doubt one of the finales I've ever experienced, and let me throw a cliche word, "Death Stranding is not only a game but an experience".
Opinions are supposed to be personal, and my score for this game is as personal as it gets, I'm amazed about every aspect of this game, combat is so perfect, and I love it, having that many options for your party and many combinations for you to run, plus the ability to remain in action mode while running through lower level dungeons is amazing, HOWEVER, I missed my novel side of these games, I missed the many activities that Persona saga offers, I think this is more of a SMT like than a Persona like game, even still, but, I have to add, not having that and having a focus on gameplay makes this the most replayable game from the company, and Im happy about that, in conclusion, I'm in love with this game, looking forward for an expansion to play more of this
I have always been afraid of playing MMOs, however this caugth my eye since choosing a class that gated me from a story line was not an issue, that plus a very good moveset on all weapons and the good graphics have me playing the game daily, now, about my dislikes is mainly the PTW system, I head about it since the Korean beta and I know it changed for the better, but on a game that your endgame experience and progression depends so much on PvP, paying for the best gear ON THIS game feels more like a necessity rather than a luxury.
