    It gets more involved and there are some actiony elements but the core gameplay loop is the same.

      So should I play Horizon Forbidden West instead of this? I don't like tedious shit.

      I'm just going through sony exclusives in my ps plus catalogue right now

        The game "gets better" as you adjust to the tedium. It's a "you must imagine sisyphus happy" simulator.

        I get that people have different tastes in games, but that's a funny "not tedious" game to play instead of Death Stranding lol

          I don't get you. There's more exploration than running deliveries back and forth and falling on my ass every 5 seconds. Other biomes than "Welsh and scottish moors, but in america"

          You a Death Stranding fanboy?

            Death Stranding is more focused on the environment and exploration - it's just a slower game and doesn't have bright yellow markers telling you where to go

              Death stranding is about falling on your ass every 5 seconds and listening to a baby cry through the ps5s controller speaker.

              I don't mind no Direction, Demon Souls remake and bloodborne are my favorite sony exclusives.

              I gave stranding a chance and it's boring IMO.

                I think they're trying to point out that both Death Stranding and Horizon Forbidden West are basically the same Ubisoft-style open-world slop. Don't expect much other than a giant world and tons of the same crap to do over and over.

                I'm also a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn. Forbidden West was a downgrade. It was just more of the same, but now Aloy won't STFU and she literally spoils puzzles for you.

                  lol death stranding is one of the only good pc AAAs of the decade. it's a piece of art. putting it on the same level as Ubisoft slop is such an insult and completely mischaracterises the work even if it's not for you personally.
