I feel lucky I spent more time than necessary or I'd be more confused.

Only an hour and a half in and I've already had multiple WTF-ery moments thrown at me.

And as with any Hideo Kojima title, I've only controlled Sam for a fraction of that time.

This is the best Kojima could come up with?" but after playing for 10 hours and still at chapter 3, I can totally understand that logic. There's something strangely gratifying about stacking a bunch of cargos and delivering them all in one run. Plus, it felt good when people appreciate the structures that I built.

Close to chapter 9! We are getting there! Heartman cutscenes were great, story is definetly picking up. I love this game so much, but damn... this fucking pacing...

I def wanna reach the end though!

Hah, got stuck in the snow area and stopped playing two months ago. Have not finished the game. Kinda feel like doing so, due to visiting Grouvee and seeing my notes here.

Not sure when I will continue :)

Been playing a handful of hours on PC. What a gorgeous and intense experience.

Excited to dig deeper into the story. I can see why this game did not resonate with many players. I am currently taking a more open approach, an open-minded and relaxed approach with not too many expectations, after dropping the game on PS4 when it came …

There's lot's of things to take into consideration when playing and the story elements/world building, keep you invested in the narrative.

(...)

Also interesting to play this during a pandemic, lots of similarities between this game and the situation we are in.

Started playing this on PC after ditching my PS4 copy last year. Loving the aesthetic, performance is great. 3hrs in.
