Just played the first 45 mins or so and I'm gripped so far. The cinematography really is on another level to almost any other game.

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the fact that Kojima wants you to know that he made the game, like, every five minutes. Ay first I thought it would make for a good drinking game, but now I'm afraid one wouldn't survive a single play session.

It’s ok - I’m just kicking off chapter 2. I am not smitten as it stands, but I’m interested enough.

On Episode 3 and loving it about 13 hours play time. Been playing since 8am with a few breaks in between so i think i'll call it a night and jump back in tomorrow.

Really enjoying the early impressions, people. Thank you! Those of us who are holdouts on buying it are eating these posts up. Looking forward to reading more as people get into the meat of the game this weekend.

@KratosMD you've summed it up pretty well there, I've made several trips and I really don't see myself getting bored with this at all. If anything I've been more engaged on every journey on this game than I ever have in an open world game. With you really having to pay attention to the landscape as you work your way through, now all of a sudden things like rivers aren't just there to look pretty but a challenging obstacle that you have to think about when trying to cross.

The social aspect is great as I'm seeing lots of signs and such appear all around and today its giving me notifications of of others using my bridges and such. I like how outside of the first city there is already a distinct path forming as players are heading out on their adventures and I'm curious to see how far this element goes.

I truly believe we will be looking back at this title in a few years as perhaps the first that really changed how open worlds are created and this sense that the world itself can be the challenge

Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.

The UI and feedback after missions is all pretty obnoxious I think, but maybe it’s deliberately supposed to be a bit overwhelming. I don’t really pay attention to any of the post mission info.. at least not yet.

Glad people are enjoying it! Ended up taking it back though, put about a dozen hours into it and just didn't click with me. Story is super intriguing though, game play just wasn't fun to me. Same feeling I got from the Uncharted games and Last of Us. I wanted to get through the story to see where it goes next, just don't want to have to play the game to get there. Some very creative stuff going on though, Kojima really is a mad scientist in some regards.

I'm hooked on this one, My first Kojima game and i absolutely adore it, will be fighting the wife for the t.v. Later. Built my first stretch of road and fabricated a reverse trike last i played. Love the social aspect also as i've completed a few unfinished structures!

I'll be honest even with the countless reviews I poured over, the many videos I've watched and not to mention all these lovely first impressions from all of you whether it be KratosMD's high praise with almost childlike wonder and awe or redd214's dismay at the gameplay...

... I still have no idea what to make of this 😂

Which I guess is actually a good thing.

I've written off plenty of games by word of mouth, videos and such. So something I HAVE to just experience for myself is certainly doing something... whether good or bad I dunno.

Keep the impressions coming guys!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I was exactly the same, go look at my initial comment on the review page and at the time I had no intention of playing this game, yet now I don't want to play anything else.

For me it's the best game I've played this year (and I loved The Outer Worlds). Its also the most subjective in terms of what the player will get out of the experience and I'm not sure many people will truly know until they play it.

One way or another this is likely to be the freshest gameplay experience and the most divisive for some time

@KratosMD How difficult is it to build those structures yourself?

I was kinda bummed seeing various bridges and ladders on my first mission, I kinda want to do that myself.

KratosMD's posts almost make this sound like a sort of deconstruction of the open world genre.

What I'm wondering is if the game will be too easy for me once I get to it, since I'm not playing at launch. With millions of people playing and building structures, is every relevant environmental challenge going to be addressed soon?

@KratosMD Alright, that seems smart, design-wise. Reminds me of Hollow Knight and how it restricts access to the map for a new area until you explore it and find the cartographer.

Sounds like you're really digging this game.

Does it really make a difference if you deliver lost cargo at a terminal or the "wrong" station? You get less points I presume? But the lost cargo just randomly spawns on the map, right?

@KratosMD I see. So it's there to grind exp if you really want/need it. I'll pick stuff up if I have the space for it, but I've delivered wherever I was heading so far.

What’s in the packages you deliver? Do we ever find out? Or is that part of the story intrigue? Like maybe it’s a twist that you’re delivering illegal goods the whole time and helping supply some enemy force or something.
