For what it's worth I answered yes to all of the above and I really, really enjoyed the gameplay of Death Stranding but I found the storyline to be disappointing in a lot of ways.
If you are expecting some really cool mysterious cosmic horror, uh, temper your expectations on that front. Don't be like me.
Isn't the plot basically identical to the Oscar-bait movie that Zoidberg, his uncle, and Calculon make in the Futurama "That's Lobstertainment!" episode?
No, you see your mom who is also the President who is also the end of all things made flesh started the Death Stranding after she shot you and your dad and felt bad about it and brought you back to life, and there are ghosts everywhere who make a nuke go off if they eat a person. You can make the ghosts go away by peeing on them or kill them with your blood. Anyway there's a guy in a robot skeleton mask named Die-Hardman and he needs you to know that delivering packages is super important, also Guillermo Del Toro wants you to join him in the shower. And then Troy Baker says "We're all of us part of the Death Stranding." Actual direct quote.
Do you like inventory management? Do you really enjoy fiddling with the briefcase in Resident Evil 4?
Do you like terrain traversal? Are you the type of person who either disables or never uses quick travel in open world games?
Do you have a high tolerance for silliness and pretentious writing?
If you've answered 'no' to any of these, then skip it. If you've answered yes to all of these then go download and play it right now.

But once you recognize the secret of Kojima's writing, you will be ashamed of your words and deeds.

You left out the part about the unskippable Blitzball cutscenes, and how your dad was a pro before he turned into a whale

I'd add to this, do you enjoy constructing infrastructure?
Alternative to question one: Do you mind pressing Y on the cargo menu? No? Then do that and the game will auto-sort cargo for you.
