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.

I've always appreciated his ideas but rarely the execution

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.

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

Loved Snatcher and MGS5, but Twin Snakes suuuuuUUUUUUUCKED.

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.
