It's actual story and characters are pretty impactful if not demented at times (which is helped greatly by Suda51 being at the helm), but the amount of walking you have to do to get to them gets tiring fast. However, the fact the game knows this and throws curveballs about it that either break the 4th wall, tie into the overarching narrative or just laugh at you for having to walk another few minutes does keep it from being a slog. Great time, very bizarre pacing. Good job Suda51👍
