In ps5 this game is an absolute masterpiece. Honestly I saw so many crítics review, users review, saying that this game wasnt worth it, but I finallu decided to give it a try and its an stunning game. The gameplay is something that will keep your mind engaged, you have to be constantly thinking on the best aprroach to deliver the packages, the history is very good and the graphics are gorgeus

it's a masterpiece

Fantastic experience all the way through. While some of the story elements are truly confusing, it ultimately has a great narrative. The gameplay is truly unique and the connections with "other" players is super cool and useful. Glad I finally played this game, I'm ready for the sequel.

Bro honestly, this isn’t even good. It’s such a beautiful game. I get what they are trying to do, but so god damn confusing.

Pros:
Graphic is amazing and light/shawdows management is at his best
The idea are thoughtful and you end up having another conception of how we should cooperate with each other in real life
The story is interesting and thrilling even though at certain points seems to be gaining time for the next turn of events
The ending is moving and unexpected
Character design is alright


Cons
The gameplay is not horrible but so reiterative that at some point results in being boring
Riding vehicles is just frustrating and annoying
Enemies (mules and BTs) have no personality and almost add nothing to the game
Menus could have been better designed, sometimes they are not straightforward and it takes a while to get used to them
Too many cutscenes in moments where there should not be any (before getting into the private room, when you have a shower - there is 4!)

All in all I liked it and played it enjoying myself but if I am honest I would not play another title of the series. Kojima’s ideas add sth to the industry because one cannot ignore that this game is different and have some interesting concepts to be developed further. However it stays that the repetitiveness of the gameplay pushes away from it and this needs to be considered if a player is not that patient.

An absolute masterpiece. I can see why it wasn't everyone's bucket of fish but personally, I loved every second of it.

The story is intriguing, the gameplay varies between relaxing and full of action and the music is some of my favourite in any game.

This game is beautifully strange, thanks mostly to Hideo Kojima's limitless imagination and creativity. I was glued to the screen for months just taking in the pure vastness of the game world and winding down in the private room listening to tunes, checking in with BB and drinking monster energy drinks.

The cast is brilliant, all of them deserving every award that comes their way and more.

I have spoken to Tommie Earl Jenkins on Twitter a number of times and his character of Die-Hardman was definitely my favourite character, especially in the late game. But I also grew attached to the game's protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, played by the badass Norman Reedus.

Guillermo Del Toro is always awesome, as is the king of video games, Troy Baker, and I was thrilled to see Mads Mikkelsen play one of the most unique roles I've seen in a video game narrative ever. He has been one of my favourite actors since I watched James Bond - Casino Royale as a boy.

Lindsay Wagner was wonderful as Amelie, as was Margaret Qualley as Mama and Lockne. I loved the whole idea of Heartman and how his heart stopped every ~20 minutes and full credit must be given to Darren Jacobs for his excellent portrayal of the character.

Heartman is an extremely interesting character in the game's lore and Darren does an outstanding job at bringing him to life.

Overall, I enjoyed every moment of this game and would rate it as my favourite game of 2019 without a doubt.

Also I would like to thank Hideo Kojima for making this whole project happen, ignoring the haters, of which there were many, and pushing through with this masterpiece as he had envisioned it. I was super pleased to see all the bonus content on my birthday (Jan 16th) and I was actually playing the very moment it ticked over to my birthday when I was pleasantly surprised by these wonderful and thoughtful additions to the game.

For anyone who has made it this far, thanks for reading my review and I do hope you give this game a go. It may not be for you, and that's okay, but you may find yourself to thoroughly enjoy it like I did.
