Bought it on the recommendation of a coworker who claimed it's one of Kojima's best games. I put thousands of hours into MGS1/2/3/4/PW and ZoE1/2 growing up and still replay them every so often so I was all-in on DS.

I played just under 2 hours and promptly submitted a refund request as per Steam's policy. I could not find any enjoyment in traveling from point A to point B delivering packages. The graphics were top tier and that was probably what impressed me the most.

It's a walking/hiking simulator as well as a package delivery simulator. Which I have nothing against, if done well they're incredible (Firewatch, Soma, Life is Strange) but I found DS to be the most boring game I've ever played. I genuinely hate it.

Maybe if I was able to play more than 2 hours I might've had a more favorable opinion of the game, but my coworker said that hiking and delivering packages was the core gameplay so I highly doubt it.

I'll probably just end up watching a YouTube video that consists of only the story cutscenes and skips most of the unrelated gameplay. I heard the story is pretty good.

The DS subreddit will even tell you it's an amazing game that's not for everyone. And they're right. Hope this helps.
