That's not an insult though. Death stranding made hiking a mechanic. If you just hold forward on that game, you lose. The game has multiple loops. Big loop with planning your route and scouting the terrain, small loops in making small adjustments on what path you take and how you balance your weight. It's the only game that makes walking a mechanic instead of a brainddead thing, and it's a shame not more games copy it, since it makes travesal interesting. Driving physics suck though and the game has other flaws, in typical kojima ways, but you can't deny that the walking isn't atleast more interesting than other games. Try and scale the snowy mountain without the snow robot legs for a real challenge. The subjective thing is the game isn't for everyone. It's for people who enjoy hiking, and like slow paced atmospheric games. If you only like fast paced action, it's not the game for you and that's alright.

For many players, this artistry on display is enough of a selling point. If you're a very gameplay mechanics type of gamer, this game isn't for you, and that's fine. There are endless games in every genre that appeal to different demographics and that's good. Videogames shouldn't appeal to everyone and try to hit a wide demographic, that would counteract their artistic freedom.

The Order: 1886 is way better than hellblade 1, and people should be having that same negative criticism that they had on The Order with this hellblade 2. They complained about it being 8 hours, mostly cinematic, for full price.... Look at this "game" being basically full price advertised as a "game" and yet it is reported that what you mostly do is walk a straight line and it's only 5 hours to complete, so it should be receiving the same criticism. Hellblade 1 was their warning and guide, because this is basically the same game, they made it seem like they were going to expand on it but it turns out that they didn't.

To be honest... doesn't seem that much different from the first game. Thing is, the original Hellblade was big because it was an indie game competing with AAA titles, and looking great while doing it. But it was always more about the audio gimmicks and the story of Senua than actual gameplay (despite also providing a good experience in that regard). I believe Microsoft promoting the game as a flagship release did more harm than good. The expectations that were generated would never be met.
