I really need to go back to it. I had finished the haunted train yard section last time I played, whatever chapter that is. I died twice at the boss fight as you’re trying to leave the area, and then I got busy doing something else and just never went back.

Be sure to steal from this boss. You can get a weapon for Aerith. A nod to the original where it was a regular enemy, which also had a staff for Aerith.

It is quite interesting to me that one of my big takeaways is, "It's nice to play a linear game." It seems like just a short time ago "linear" was a bad word in video game reviews.

As long as you are making interesting decisions along the way, there's nothing wrong with a linear game. And the combat system is way more interesting than the OG.

I want to make time for more Death Stranding, too.

Makes you wish Destiny had a rich, engaging story with dynamic cinematics from which to cut a trailer… no?

You're not wrong. #codyWasNotWrong

I'm currently on chapter 16. I really liked chapter 14 with all the side-quests.

I think they absolutely killed it with this remake.
