Finished it, really enjoyed it. Kojima is certainly unhinged at parts here (which feels really silly and over the top at times but it's also something I admire to an extent) but it's probably overall better connected and less convoluted than I expected. Really enjoyed the overall gameplay far more than in the first, although part of me does feel a tinge of sadness that it felt quite quick to go from on-foot deliveries to just vehicles unless you wanted to spend forever getting anything done. But then again I felt that I couldn't get into it in the first.

Anyway, really enjoyed it.

Had to make this to express my frustrations

Finally got to play a good chunk today. That first boss in Aus kicked my ass. I died several times. I entered the fight with nothing but a bola gun and a tranq sniper though so that's on me!

Also love the monorails-just used one for the first time and they're an awesome natural evolution of the roads (which I'm obviously pouring all my time into rebuilding instead of progressing already)

Spoiler:

Am I alone in sort of not caring about "BB" in this game? Engaging with Lou and growing closer to them in Death Stranding was a real highlight of the game but in this one now that it's not Lou I just have no interest in rocking it to sleep, soothing it, or any of that. I feel like a parent with post-natal depression or something lmao. I think Dollman is a bit of a bastard for suggesting doing this to Sam during his grief-feels very manipulative even if the end result is supposed to help him move on.

Also don't confirm or deny but I've now met Tomorrow and my immediate thought is that she's Lou who has grown up in the new shared beach type location due to some timefall-esque things going on in there. I'm liking all the new characters so far and I especially enjoy how they feel like a team compared to DS's more disjointed group, like the effects of learning to exist out in the world after the Stranding are really doing some good.

Can't believe Tomorrow just left a £1000+ coat on the filthy ground smh

Gameplat wise, massive improvement over the first one. which also made it a bit too easy.

But the story's all over the place. The first game felt at least a bit grounded. Here? Random bs go!

I feel the same way when I played through the game. The first game had a bit more of a coherent storyline, I think. And honestly, I'm not sure how I feel that they have another soldier character doing the same bit in the first game. But the overall gameplay for me is a lot more fun this time around. Especially having everything set up for easy transport. I remember accidentally running over a porter because the game forced me to focus on a BT lol
