[Video Games] What are you playing? (Omikron Edition)

Oh yeah, I didn't technically play it, but I did watch a Death Stranding 2 playthrough when that came out. Gameplay seems fine I guess (comparable or better to the first...although maybe too combat focused?), and definitely a very pretty game. Ultimately didn't really care for the narrative, and I'm not sure I've come away happy with a Kojima narrative in a long time. I do give him credit for trying to be creative and different at least. There was one scene late that was pretty amazing. It gave me Alan Wake 2 epic scene vibes, which is a good thing.

Oh and because I'm a glutton for punishment, I did finish Abiotic Factor (from my last post). I enabled some mods that basically gave me god mode, infinite ammo, etc., which I had to do just to not get frustrated with some of the things I mentioned previously. Even with that, it becomes an even bigger slog IMO, and the ending is pretty bad (both in gameplay and narrative). It is frustrating because, kinda like a Kojima game, I can appreciate the talent and work that went into that game. But it was *not* for me.

Probably going to check out the Ni no Kuni games next.
