Relaxing!? For me it’s like the movie Running scared. the moment my porter boots touch grass I’m sanic, miss me with that time rain and stranding zones i can deliver packages all day just try hittin’ me.
I thought it was really relaxing… until it suddenly is super stressful. By the time you finish the game the stressful parts aren’t an issue anymore though.
Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to “you deliver packages” there’s a lot more to it. There’s planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.
It’s for sure not a game for everyone and I don’t begrudge anyone who says they don’t enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved
Yes, I played the game. I still have it installed, so I’ll try again.
Some games will hook you from the start and will not let you go until you finish them. Some will have you return even after you’ve finished because you enjoy being immersed in the world.
This one felt like too much like reality to be fun, having to do heavy labour carrying stuff while being punished by black stuff popping up randomly from nowhere…
It probably boils down to personal tastes, I’ve had this issue with some other games like Hellblade, Control, and Prey.
It’s clearly not the grinding aspect because I’ve clocked 350 hours on Skyrim.
I never finished this game, but damn did i enjoy how relaxing it was

i had like 4 strokes the first time i started getting pulled into the inky abyss 12/10 would porter again.
My take on this game: I don’t understand the hype. You just have to carry stuff on your backpack between places, stumbling like a drunken idiot.
Sorry, I played many games over the years but can’t find anything in this to get me hooked.

Let me have another go, and I’ll get back to you.
The entire bar building aspect/async multiplayer is hidden from the trailers. Might not be as fun if player counts are down
There’s an argument to be made that this is intentional, funnily enough
