Ah I should probably avoid this topic but I'd appreciate opinions direct from fellow B8ers. I was planning to get Death Stranding and was kind of hyped but I heard some reviews that weren't too kind... I also thought it'd be a shorter game but I read time estimates that have it running 50+ hours? And kind of have time management issues at the moment so fitting a monster game into that would be tricky.

So I guess my question is.

(1) Should I get it? (I usually stick to RPGs but I loved Shadow of the Colossus so the concept of travelling a deserted landscape kind of appealed to me?)

(2) If I get it: how compatible would it be to say, with the game not muted/volume still on, listen to podcasts while also playing it? I mean if there's long stretches where you're just travelling from point A to point B and there's a little background music from the game with nothing else, I'm thinking of multitasking opportunities, though it might destroy the immersion aspect...

Anyways I know the game just came out so you're only a few days in but would appreciate some quick yes-or-nos on those two questions, thanks!
