God, this game is amazing. Many people approach it as a walking simulator, but its more than that. Ill admit, maybe the first 2 hours are, but thats before they give you vehicles to use and drive, which really isnt long. Theres 3 things that make this game just... so great

The Graphics/Physics/Mechanics
Theres was maybe 2 times something weird happened... a truck got stuck on a rock, and my game crashed loading a boss. Other than that, the game is BEAUTIFUL and runs smooth, just look online and find a cutscene. The tripping/stability mechanic for rocks, and slants works wonders, and its pretty reasonable when it comes to balance. Carrying a lot and turn around quickly? You stumble. Carrying a lot of stuff? Hit a roof and it falls off. Its the small stuff that gets you, cause it all just runs perfectly together


The Story
Man.. this game isnt as easy as "go across the US, kill bad guy, yay you did it!" the entire last 2 chapters (of 13) are almost all cutscenes, just DETAILING and EXPLAINING stuff, connecting and making sense of the 40 (in my case) hours you put playing this game, why this person did this or why they are how they are. Plus the twists all the way inbetween, I'd sit here and gasp at some stuff, like "oh my god thats him!" or just be shocked at what I was presented

The Music
Now, this seems minor, but the soundtrack for this game is unique. Of course anything made has its use, but the music in this just.... hits; it knows just when to kick on, and complete the scene. Whether emerging after a nap in your room, driving through a desolate valley, sneaking past BTs or that final delivery, people who played know what I mean. It just creeps on you and gives that extra bump or tension needed to make the feeling alive


Overall... this game makes me sad. I've completed the story, and I'm sad I cant experience it again with the same level of mysticism, but I'm glad I was able to experience it to begin with. 1000 likes to Kojima and the wonderful people who put this together!
