Yay, finished with DS! I’m happy i gave Death Strandiing a shot after being skeptical I’d ever like it with how much negativity surrounds it, but now I can’t figure out how to ever recommend or describe it, since pretty much all criticism surrounding it is true. the writing and naming is sometimes atrocious, there’s hours of cutscenes stacked atop each other with lengthy complicated plot, the game is mostly walking or slowly driving in silence for 50-100+ hours, most of the side characters are forgettable and celebrity cameos, ‘Mario and Princess Beach,’ etc. However, it’s fantastic and weird, please play it

#I only skimmed through some of the popular negative reviews but also talked with friends about how none of us had any interest in the game #and the DS 2 trailer brought some of that attention and excitement back #tbh the walking sim complaint is the one I’ve come across the most when that’s easily the best part of the entire game #…if you like walking that is lol #in terms of the writing it’s more of a mixed bag but I’m slightly desensitized after playing a lot of metalgear #it’s also sometimes cheesy and bad in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. never know what you’re gonna get #basically I understand why it’s hated but now that I like it I wish more people did lmao
