Generally good idea of the game and you need to try it with a good discount. Graphics is nice.
What is bad:
- Probably fake open-world. Unlike in Death Stranding(where you move anywhere you want and as you want, which gives you a lot of unique challenges) in this game it's a corridor-style open-world, where you feel constantly on rails.
- Optimization one of the worst here, RTX 2060 on lowest settings with DLSS enabled at Performance mode it cannot even run smooth at 40-50 FPS with constant drops during the game.
- Voice acting is the same as if I would take the random person from the street and he will try his best to "play" the character but it sounds just meh and constantly ruining experience. The developers even not added some good sound filters to make the voice attached to the environment, it's just feels like completely backgrounded stroy-telling. Also the text is very basic.
- From the start game feels predictable with zero freedom. For example during your first phone calls you have options to select(say this or this) but it doesn't affect the outcome, some replies to you even has just... nothing(literally muted by interference so you don't get a reply).
- The design of interior of the base and it's exterior lacks an engineer eye on it, it's just designed by the people who never knew about how real engineered rooms, tools would looks like. It looks like AI generated imitation often(I know it's not AI, but you get the point).
- Story has a huge logical holes that are not compatible with the modern cosmonautics standards. For example your main character is just a "men from the street" with "no experience" that got in the situation when "he don't knew the systems of the ships, so cannot operate it alone", what the hell?
But the TOP breaking issues for me:
- Lowest grade voice acting and text
- Poor performance
The above is literally kills the game.
I suggest to play the Death Stranding 1, it feels much-much better in all terms and also has a real physics of the character.
