I'm still at the beginning (Episode 2) but this is definitely one of the stranger games I've played. From having a fetus attached to me as a Spidey sense mechanism to the main gameplay element being delivering packages there's a lot of interesting choices. I've loved all of Kojima's other work I've engaged with so I want to give this game a fair shot, but I'm still on the fence of whether I like this or not...

Id argue it gets better as you go along but I think the game is primarily about the weird story (as usual) and the unique form of gameplay. You get more options for how you traverse areas as well as some additional challenges which make it interesting.

Yeah, I played the shit out of that game and I still feel pretty ambivalent about it.

I imagine it will end up in my collection eventually (due to being in a bundle I pick up), and when it does I will probably play it immediately. Everything I have seen points to that I probably won't like it, but I'll try it all the same.

Yeah that's the way it's been for me.

Restarted the game three times because I couldn't get into it but I felt like there was something worth playing there, and once I got into the 5th chapter or so I was hooked. Those first few chapters are kinda tough because the plot is so weird and the gameplay is equally strange, but once you get into a rhythm it's a lot of fun.

For me, unlocking the Bola gun was the start of the game really drawing me in. Gave me more options during encounters with enemies

Yeah thats around when I really started to enjoy it more. Right around there you start to get into some Metal Gearish elements on top of the other kinda unique gameplay things.

I just hope he never tries to make a game too strange to be enjoyed on purpose.
