I remember I wrote a glowing review for the standard game, but I can't remember it. However, it will be given just as much, if not more praise than I initially gave it.

Kojima said when he announced Death Stranding that it was a game with a genre that has never been made before, and it is just that.
While looking at the game as an uninitiated it may seem like a walking simulator, but it's deeper than that. while gameplay is good and keeps you hooked for hours long sessions, the story is the prize (At least to me). It's nearly never happened where I've gone into a game where the world itself seemed completely alien. It's hard to explain, but playing for a couple hours, you would understand just how while nothing is how you expect it to be, there are still rules that it plays by.

It's an experience. Try it out! The journey itself is rewarding. :]

Everybody loves a good comeback story.
The game is not only very playable now, but pretty enjoyable too.
Most missions are original and engaging enough that nothing feels stale.

There are some cons however.
The crafting system is very strange and I had to look up several videos and articles explaining just how rarity values work and how they mingle with the crafter skill tree.

Right now, I'm just waiting for the new and only DLC expansion they're gonna come out with. Hope it's good!

Couldn't get through any reasonable milestone in the game other than getting past the prologue and doing a couple supply missions.
I gave up after numerous crashes following the slowest gameplay with NPCs, who coincidentally all got the same lobotomy procedure done to them.
The game is ugly and punishes your computer for it while not being very fun to play. And for those reasons alone, I'm afraid that it's gonna be a 'no' from me.

I only cared for the campaign and haven't played any of the multiplayer.
Campaign-only was worth buying this game when it was in a very steep sale. Otherwise, it's not enough bang for your buck no matter how you look at it.
Graphics optimization was very off. This game gave me way more stutters, screen tears, and dropped frames at generous settings than MW and MW2 on their max settings. I don't have a sloppy system either.

I liked this game initially, but it quickly turned into a lake that's as deep as a puddle.
Lots of stuff happen in the beginning, but then turn those same events into significantly less meaningful tasks that just seems like busy work.
Even if you want something to play while listening to music or podcasts, there's other options out there that don't ironically give you a headache over how mind-numbing the gameplay is.

Good game only if you play with friends. Believe it is impossible to pick up, let alone play the game if you're used to playing games solo.
Coordinate with friends to buy this game and learn the mechanics, which are difficult by its own merit.

I can't stress enough that if your friends drop this game, so do you.

Cool game to play for a while, especially while listening to music or podcasts.
Bottom line is that it doesn't take alot of mental energy and it's REALLY grindy if you play solo.

I miss this game for what it used to be.

Probably my most favorite Ghost Recon game to this day.
I've followed this game since its first E3 trailer and I was hooked from the jump for the sole reason that we finally get to ventilate cartel scum. It was a novel new enemy to fight and this game didn't disappoint.
This is a giant open world game with plenty to do and explore. Objectives lead to other objectives that make the gameplay alot more seamless than the other open world Ubisoft title.

I've played most MOBA games out there (Not MOBA-like). DoTA 2 always seemed to me like the quintessential "King of MOBAs".
The depth this game has compared to its competitors is not even close. Constant updates and reworking of mechanics keep the gameplay way more fresh forcing me to come back because of just how fresh it is.
Devs are always on top of things as well.
As an added bonus, while there is a robust player behavior system, it's never been so strict that players have been banned for the occasional trash talk. That's a plus for me all day!
