Death Stranding (PS4) Expired

Playing it now.

Pros:
* Graphics are beautiful
* Sound track is good
* Story is bizarre - it covers some really interesting ideas
* A lot of big name acting talent
* Lots of interesting game play ideas

Cons:
* Story is bizarre - sometimes you're like "ok, this is just weird for weirdness sake"
* A lot of corniness in the story and dialogue. Sometimes the point he's trying to make feels super forced.
* Game play honestly isn't all that fun. I mean, the game is literally you're a package delivery man. You get packages and you have to just cross terrain to drop off the package and it's accentuated by some minor action sequences. "Walk from point A to B. Ok now from B to C. Now from C to A. Now from A to D". "Oh no, the thing you're carrying is heavy so it's super awkward to walk straight!" "Oh no you're going thru a river so you have to rest every 2 steps you take or you get washed down the river and you might as well reload, but we won't let you reload until you manage to paddle to a safe point!"
* Some of the game play is broken or explained poorly. I just got done with a part where your suit has a light function and it gives you instructions on how to turn it on/off. Except their instructions don't work. Another time I was given a hood and no instructions on how to use it (incidentally you use it by following the instructions on how to turn the light on and off). There's another point where they tell you your suit can make a hologram. No explanation how. If you want to know how it's the same way you're SUPPOSED to turn on/off the light. There's a tip section which usually tells you how to do these things but in the case for the hologram the tip is "hey your odradek can do this!"

My judgement so far (I'm part way thru chapter 7): it's fun enough, but skippable if you have better games to play. It's definitely not nearly as good as games like God of War (PS4), Witcher 3, Spider-Man (PS4), and Breath of the Wild.

Best deal yet.

Keep on Keeping On!
