this game is just too good, it feels like it was designed to cater towards everything i love in games. big over-the-top stories, chill gameplay, great world design, and much more. the online aspects in this is incredible and so overlooked. i loved walking over a bridge or climbing up some ladder that somebody i don't know placed and just trying to spam them with as many likes as i possibly could. getting excited to see how many likes i received for the structures that i built every time i logged on. not actually interacting with anyone but still getting a glimpse of how they experienced or ventured through some part of the game. the world feels so fun to explore and journey through. i probably spent the majority of my time just gathering resources to build roads for one giant highway like i was playing catan. the soundtrack fits so well and the story and characters are so sick. i can see it not being a game for everyone, but it's definitely a game for me.

put this one off for a while because i heard mixed things on release and was worried about how it could possibly follow up the first game. safe to say that this completely exceeded my expectations. story is incredible and i love how cinematic this game feels. it looks amazing and feels great to play.

pretty massive disappointment after how much i loved the first one. i get its "early access" or whatever, but that just feels like a cop-out with what we were led to believe before release. there are some massive improvements to the graphics, building, and AI compared to the original. but overall, it's just completely lacking in everything else. not really scary, not a lot to do, story not as interesting. excited to try it again tho in like 2-3 years

super fun game. the open-world aspect of this allows for so much more creative freedom in how you approach things. sucks that there was so much cut content. however, if you take the cut last mission into account, i've never really understood why people thought the story was incomplete. sure it's not as tight towards the end, but it was working under the constraints of trying to tie back into the MSX games from 30 years ago. and i think it succeeds at that and does so in an interesting way.
one of the greatest games ever. it's so over the top in the best way possible: ocelot constantly spinning his guns, snake's dry and funny delivery, the random zoom-ins. this game is just filled with so much charm, and that's just one part that makes it so good. you also have the amazing visual style, great sound design, fun gameplay, and so much more. the insane story is what really pulled me in and made me wanna play through the other games. and this is all without mentioning the theme song...
