So, advanced the story a bit rather than build roads and 5 star shelters.

Got out of the snowy area and …


First, getting the winter wheels makes using the truck in the snow so much better, changes my opinion of the area a lot, still crap, before but vastly improved after. On to the story proper, damn seeing Sam caught in a loop of burning and dying over and over again hit hard, I felt for him. And then anime girl Tomorrow arrives and does cool anime fighting, was really fun to watch. Then her trying to help Sam and not being able to, and the obvious answer Rainy appears to save the day. It was a pretty solid scene in my opinion. Then the reveal to Sam that Lou is gone nad he’s been carrying an empty pod all time, poor Sam being hit with that info. And again a little later, the whole final sequence with Neil Varna and the reveals there. Cant wait to see where it goes from there.

Finally finished it. Could not be bothered to 4-5 Star or even unlock the last shelters as the area was really ass to travel around in, the snow and all the BT areas just made me rush at the end.

The End Fight was kinda luls, as usual with the Kojima games. Most if not everything was explained and I felt it was a decent story in the end.

Is it just me or does Dollman sound like triumph the insult comic dog?

I just finished it. I like the ending, not exactly what I expected but somewhat satisfying.

I didn’t bother to 5 star anything once I reached the snow area. It’s just a very tedious area in my opinion until you actually are out of it than you get new tools that make it a bit easier but it had drained me already.

Overall mechanically, pacing and story wise I found the game superior to the first one. The deliveries are a bit more tedious to be honest not just the snow area but overall in the game. The world is larger and generally speaking harder to navigate than the first one which doing deliveries somewhat less rewarding.

Still an amazing game. I’ll definitely replay it at some point.

I knew the voice from Dollman sounded familiar. The same actor that plays Jesus in the TV series The Chosen.

Just finished this up. Awesome game and story.

I have to say, pretty sure I have seen by best cut scene to date out of any video game when combined with an awesome musical song selection when:

Higgs had Sam in a perpetual and painful fire death loop of which he would never get out of until Tomorrow came in and starting kicking major ass - that was just epic.
