I just hope some aspects have a bit more fine tuning but from the early reviews I don't think Kojima did anything to make the new game less tedious.
It's sitting at 90 on Metacritic and 92 on OpenCritic and it seems like a lot of reviews are saying there are substantial QoL improvements. Also, the only mixed reviews are complaining that it's too easy, even on the hardest difficulty, and Kojima went too far in making the game more accessible.

Just reading some blurbs from reviews and holy shite I can't fricking wait. Took Wed-Fri off from work and plan on firing it up as soon as I finish work tomorrow.
It's nice to see that a lot of reviewers who didn't love DS, really enjoyed DS2.

Hope the story is more coherent, but I have low hopes for that lol. Still loved the first game, glad I'm now a reviewer because I would have given it a 9, and if you ask my why I honestly can't tell you. It seems so boring and weird, but it loved it.

It's good to see a lot of reviewers say combat is not forced and you can engage with it as much, or as little, as you want. Sure, Kojima gave us more tools to take a combat-focused approach, but ignoring that approach is totally viable.
I also saw that the post-game works in a similar way (i.e., no NG+ and it's completely free roam like DS1...plus, no missable trophies!).

Held off on listening until now but the Woodkid tracks slap, as expected
As usual given their ignorance there’s no reason to care what the publications/critics say, but when their “opinions” and those of actual players are in sync, that bodes well. Excited to play this week. Will try and push to the end quickly so I don’t get spoiled

Awesome to hear, can't wait to see how different tracks are used in the game.

Is this one similar to the first? Is it really a “walking simulator”? Never played the first
Posted on 6/24/25 at 6:56 pm to DownSouthCrawfish
I have a problem. I don't know why I'm compelled to buy any Collectors edition. I still haven't even played kingdom come or assassin's creed. This might be the first one I've had arrive day 1.

If it's a walking simulator it is a great one.

9+ hours in and I can't stop myself from picking up every random piece of cargo and delivering it
I keep telling myself, okay, this is the last delivery and THEN I'll progress the story
