Oh tatty. Those Death Stranding reviews.
I always figured that Kojima unchained by Konami would be even more up his own rear than usual, but it sounds like he's disappeared so far that he's turned himself inside out.
I'd go into the game thinking of it as a glorious failure, and celebrate the weirdness of it all .... but the whole thing just sounds deathly dull. I'll buy it .... but maybe when I see a deal on the disc.
Anyway, downloaded Afterparty, the new game from the Oxenfree people, on Game Pass. I hate it.
The story is just the most awful faux woke garbage that only people in their 30s writing from the perspective of teens can manage - Think Life Is Strange but with none of the sincerely goofy charm.
The performances also hit more often than they miss. It's great having an all star cast but when you have to shoehorn Janina Gavankar (who I normally love) into playing a teenager there needs to be a huge suspension of disbelief.
