This game is such a roller coaster of emotions. Some of the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen in a video game. Genuinely awesome soundtrack (both the licensed music and original material).
There were moments when it was frustrating and boring, and the storytelling can sometimes be way to literal and explanation based.
But I truly did love the story underneath, as it was one of hope and the importance of connection to get through rough times. Some subjects hit real close to home for me, and at times it can get quite depressing, but this strong sense of hope and helping each other is always there to lift you back up.
Again, some game mechanics and cut scenes really didn't work for me, but other parts of the game will be forever in my mind.
I'm rating it a 7.5<->10.5 out of 10. I've decided conventional scales don't cut it for games like this.
I would love to know your opinions if you want to share them!
The moment "Don't Be So Serious" starts playing on your first delivery will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my natural life.
Every low roar song in the game is a banger. It is just amazing story of how Kojima discovered the band and decided to include their music in the game. I can't imagine the game without it
Honestly, i looked them up after starting the game and have enjoyed what I've heard. They are strange, but in a mesmerizing way. Truly a band that is about the art in the music and not about trying to follow music trends. Would recommend.
Yeah, it's an extremely atmospheric game and the music is such a pivotal part of that. The way it all comes together is amazing.
The first thing I looked for after that moment was radio and how to turn it on and I couldn't believe that wasn't an option
