I'm playing it right now, just started chapter five. The story really picks up and becomes a bit more coherent as the game progresses. Also new resources, structures, tools etc become available that really pick up the pace of the game.

If you like these sort of games, go for it. It can be challenging for the first couple of runs, and maybe frustrating to lose everything on death - especially since this style of game play is not very popular nowadays. But it has a very unique and lovable vibe - and it' s also very rewarding when you finally get the hang of it and figure stuff out.

I have 4500 hours (187 days) over 9 years in GTA online and that's a considerable percentage of my lifespan, and I'm not happy about it.

1300*3=3900, so I'll say to you what I would say to my past self, wrap it up and play a different game. Sorry if this is a buzzkill answer.

It really shouldn't be a mystery at all and it's a real bummer it is.

Super Mario Bros is also an entire franchise built off the foundation of "get from A to B and don't die to the obstacles along the way".

But we never got people confused asking "what? All you do is run to the right and jump on turtles? How is that supposed to be fun lmao"

Death Stranding is essentially just that idea abstracted out into a 3rd person action adventure game, and with an emphasis on inventory management/tactical problem solving with equipment.
