I did like Death Stranding. Which surprised me because it feels like a bonkers indie game about a post-apocalyptic Deliveroo driver, but inexplicably given a $100m AAA budget. He still can't write dialogue for shit, all the celebrity cameos are hilariously out of place, almost nothing makes any sense until the last 20 minutes, and there's grind in awkward places.
And in spite of everything, I can't help but admire the unapologetic nature of the concept. It's kind of like Red Dead Redemption 2, in that it goes against everything gamers normally want, to the point you can almost hear the boardroom full of middlemen getting frustrated that there's not enough shooting, or wondering where there the multiplayer funbucks are.
