So basically just because of the story and because it's a piece of kojimart?

It's between Death Stranding and Three Houses for me

Story, graphics, gameplay is tight. After a couple hours of basic gameplay the game is open with crazy possibilities

Is this true @ anyone else? I've seen very mixed reviews

It's okay if it's a great piece of art with subpar gameplay I just don't wanna be lied to

I mean you say mixed but its at 84 metacritic. Its far and few between

Days Gone already did the concept better, if not for that then maybe.

I'd be surprised if it tops Resident Evil 2, Outer Wilds or A Plague Tale for me.

No. As far as I bothered to read..
Bad reviews said it's pretentious with shit gameplay.
Good reviews said it had poor gameplay but was an AMAZING piece of art

The gameplay is actually really good, in ways I didn't expect. When people say walking simulator, they mean it literally, the game has super detailed movement and it's all about traversing a dangerous landscape to deliver packages. It doesn't sound fun, but it seriously is.

Thats encouraging. It seems like the kind of thing that I would really be into if done right. On the other hand MGSVs gameplay never clicked for me at all and people praised that.

The gameplay is solid.

Sam moves really well, whether it's on foot or by vehicle. The actions are smooth, and even the "annoying" stuff like managing your cargo and plotting paths ends up becoming more fun/addicting than it ever is frustrating.

The online aspects are also really cool, imo. I don't want to give away anything, but you can sort of connect with other players and help each other out. It's a neat feature and I find myself wanting to help other players whenever I can -- and not because the game requires me to but just because I myself want to. The promotion of camaraderie and connectivity is done pretty well. And not in a sort of on-the-nose or pretentious sort of way either.

Honestly, the first couple hours are the "worst" since it's before you get access to some better equipment, but if you can get through that, then you'll find yourself having fun with the game. It's by no means as bad as any of these negative reviews say it is. Kojima really made something special, and not just as an "art piece" or something. It's a solid game all around.
