I played for a few hours and gave up. I see it just sitting there in my library and I feel like I need to revisit it to justify the purchase.
At what point does the game start to get better? Balancing packages and walking around BT areas just wasn't fun in the first few hours.
Is it for people who really like guided games? I hate the make your own fun and figure it out type gamesI liked it but also understand it totally isn't for everyone. I played the hell out of it when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Just recently started playing it again doing endgame stuff, getting all the shelters to full star ratings. I find it a real zen experience now just delivering packages, building things for other players with all my upgraded stuff and fully rebuilt road system.
I wish they gave you the ability to listen to the unlocked songs on a music player while exploring out in the world MGSV style. (Unless I'm missing something). The game even blocks spotify while the game is on. So I cant even queue up the soundtrack that way. Bummer.
It's literally the game of the year for 2019 (by a narrow margin).
They main story is pretty guided. Go here do that. All the main missions and deliveries to progress the story are color coded. There is one particular moment towards the end of the game where you need to figure something out on your own...but should understand what needs to be done if you were paying attention to the story.Is it for people who really like guided games?

I think the only general consensus that you could find about Death Stranding is that it is highly ambitious, very strange, the writing is sloppy, it looks great, it has some jank, and the asynchronous elements are excellent. Everything else is a huge tossup. It is a very divisive game and opinions swing wildly from person to person (more so than any other game that I can think of) when discussing it. I personally didn't always appreciate every element of it, but it is certainly very interesting. I think it is worth giving another shot, OP.
I have seen this statement a few times now and I have found it impossible to verify. Most of the sites I checked out gave their GotY to either Sekiro, Control, or Resident Evil 2. Is there are an aggregate list of GotY somewhere that I am missing? Or are you just saying that it is your personal GotY?
*edit*
I stopped being a dummy and did a search on ResetERA instead of on Google and I found it.
Far as I can tell, there isn't one - Game is hugely divisive. Those that love it seem to truly love it, and people who dislike it seem to detest it.
Played for 164 hours,loved every minute......this should show OP there really is no consensus,lol.
The people that love it, I just dont see what they see. I want to though.
'Beautiful nonsense' is how I sum up my feelings about it. I dropped it once I got past "super slow repetitive invisible footprints" and hit the "balance absurd packages on back" part.I played for a few hours and gave up.

There is no consensus... people always use that word wrong.
Opinions are divided, but most people like it according to all data we have.
It was in our GOTY top 10, too.
Lol inversely I had a lot more fun with the gameplay and didn't think the story was amazing.
