Same and I never got how amazing the story was supposed to be, or at least didn't feel it had the same impact.
It has the whole hero's journey thing going with Kratos going on a quest and learning the value of fatherhood. It also has the typical good vs bad saga, which is role-reversed a little by Kratos as a tragic hero and a former DESTROYER OF GODS.
Nice ideas in theory but I felt it didn't really do anything unique with them. I also really disliked the dialogue of the kid, who spoke every five minutes and made me feel like the game didn't trust me to connect certain details.
But that's the point I guess - a lot of the game is based around the story. It really really really wants you to get what it's about. I'm not a fan of media that doesn't trust its viewer/player/reader.
Not to riff on Sony either because they've made similar very good games. The Last Guardian was amazing because of its subtlety. Even Uncharted was cool by virtue of not taking itself that seriously. Death Stranding is unique.
Something like AssCreed is a zone-out game so I think it's more likable.
I love a good story mode and I was looking forward to giving it ago again because as I’ve got older I found I appreciate single player games over multiplayer, mainly because my reflexes aren’t what they use to be. I can’t compete with the young ones anymore. So I like a nice story driven single player.
I loved uncharted games they’re probably the first Sony exclusive series that I really got into, played them all and loved them all. I’ve not tried last guardian but I think it’s one of those free games on Ps5 so I’ll look into when I’ve completed miles morales. (I can only play one game before the next)
A few of my mates have played death stranding and they didn’t really like it so I’ll likely give that a miss too or at least wait until it’s way down in price As we generally have the same thoughts with games.
