I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

    I finally gave death stranding another shot, coming into it with a clean mindset away from all the negativity has allowed me to enjoy the slow and relaxing gameplay a lot more. It’s worth a second chance if you were negative towards it originally.

      People have called it a “delivery simulator” as an insult to it, but honestly to me that sounds pretty freaking sweet when I need to relax after a long day.

        The thing is that the marketing for it–and everything about Kojima in particular–hails it as the most complex, deep, meaningful game ever. But you’re playing Philip J fucking Fry. Kojima is almost as bad as David Cage and everyone seems to be okay with it.

      I started it like half a year ago and stopped when I had to hide from that strange black fog things. I hate stealth mechanics, so I stopped playing. May I ask if it gets better? I mean in terms that you acquire gear or abilities to not need to crawl around that black mist creatures? I am super interested in the game, exploring, doing the deliveries, seeing how the story unfolds and I really want to play it, but not if I need to play hide & seek all the time :-(

        Once you unlock the blood grenades you can easily take care of the BTs, you also get more weapons that can deal with them. It’s pretty early that you can stop crouching and holding your breath to deal with them.
