Same. I was watching reviews and Gamespot tips yesterday and the videos were starting to sway me into getting a copy. The graphics are amazing and it looks like KojiPro built and interesting and calming game.
Granted I'm only just getting to chapter 3 in Death Stranding but here's how I would convey the game to someone:
I've beaten over 50 games this year. Zombie killing, god killing, samurai killing, etc I've done the whole nine yards in games this year. And yet, I think, pound for pound, the act of traversal in Death Stranding is the one most satisfying things I've done in games all year.
This game has even made the simple act of putting down a ladder so immensely satisfying, especially that realization that other players are using the tools that you've put down in their journey.
I spent all morning in DS just making pathways and building bridges for other folks. It is, so far, am incredible game.
