Multi Watcha playing?

I've always appreciated his ideas but rarely the execution

My only Kojima experiences have been Snatcher, Twin Snakes, and MGS5.

Loved Snatcher and MGS5, but Twin Snakes suuuuuUUUUUUUCKED.

Snatcher has lived rent-free in my head since I was a teen

Tried it on Game Pass and thought it was complete shit, but I'll say that I've never been the biggest fan of Kojima's style.

I think that being divisive is his angle... Kinda like the Souls games. It's almost like he wants to alienate people that don't like his style, and lean into it more for people that do. It took me years to appreciate MGS, I had the original for PSX and didn't actually complete it until the PS2 era.

It's like he wants to distance himself from other games while still maintaining a familiarity that attracts people. It's a weird way of making games, but, he has definitely carved out his own style over the years.

One thing that I think Kelly will appreciate is all of the nods to other games strewn about the world. I thought it was cool as hell when I crested a hill and saw a Tallneck from Horizon projected on the grasslands.

You'll definitely like the game if you enjoyed those, because they're not as rehashed as some of his other titles. It just might take you some dedication to get beyond the beginning and how much of a slow burn it is.

I've gamed very little over the past month, but have just spent a couple of hours with Clair Obscur, and have finished Act I. Did not see that twist coming at all, and very much makes me want to press on before I go way in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday I started Ghost of Tsushima. I'm about 2 hours in and am enjoying it so far. The first hour was a little bit slow, but once you get into the open world and have more freedom, the game seems to pick up. I'm still trying to get the hang of the combat - I'm only on the medium difficulty but I've died a few times. The skill trees look massive, so I'm sure I'll get tons of new abilities, but it's a bit tricky to pick up at first.

I really like the wayfinding in the game. Although I suspect it will take marginally longer to get around the map, it's much more creative than having a minimap with an arrow pointing the way.

One of my favorite games of all time! Spent quite some time just riding around enjoying the sceneries!
