Kojima Productions acquires Death Stranding IP rights, presumably meaning the series will only get more unhinged (www.pcgamer.com)

I mean… was that game actually good? Because I got excited for it and then watched a few parts of play throughs where you’re just like carrying a bunch of boxes over hills n shit and sometimes they’d fall off and it seemed like not that fun.

For some of us. Yes the game is incredible. The detail to menus, maps, management and playing control is very very good. Now I won't try and change any minds. The game is very "slow" and isolating but it's an entirely different mood than most games. It's like the film 2001. It can be a slow methodical well crafted movie but maybe not as exciting as say Star Wars. Kojima games always seem to take 10-20+ hours to "get momentum" but I've always enjoyed them.

It rapidly became one of my favorite single player games of all time after I bought it in late 2020. However, it is fundamentally a hiking simulator with a light sprinkling of open world stealth/action/horror gameplay and some innovative passive online multiplayer mechanics.

So, it might just not be your cup of tea. Especially if you don't like simulation / management games such as fight simulator 2020, FTL, etc. However, if you enjoy meditative or atmospheric games, such as dear ester, fallout 3, valheim, Firewatch, maybe give it a shot when it's on sale. The world building is fantastic, and the vibes are sublime.
