So Death Stranding is interesting and quite compelling.
But it is a Kojima game, so of course it is really odd and will likely become more so before finally not making any real sense when it finishes…
I am enjoying it but it is sometimes accidentally amusing when someone tells you how amazing you are and really they can’t believe it! You really are the only one who could do what you have done etc.

I have Duskers on Steam. Really compelling atmosphere, interesting visuals, fun gameplay. The less fun side IMO is the insistence on constant degradation of your things and the “you can never go back to a thing even if it was mission critical and you just didn’t have what you needed at the time” attitude. A recent-ish update to the game did allow nerfing the game’s most annoying enemy though. Not enough for me to enjoy the game in more than a dabbling sort of way, but it did really help.
But for real, in short bursts this is an incredible game, I just don’t like how it plays out long-form.
