Mads is kinda filtering me on this trench section, but so far Im liking the game well enough. Didnt check it out for the longest time because I didnt get what game there was to play and just the idea of walking around with a baby powered suit didnt really appeal to me either. Finally decided to check it out tho, and its not bad. Ch1 is nothing but cutscenes, and a lot. 2 is chill. Kinda the tutorial island area on in the east sector. Ch3 the game starts really opening up and actually becoming fun once you get to the central sector. The gameplay loop of running up and down your delivery route grabbing a bunch of orders and lost cargo heading to destinations along your way, raiding mule camps to work on roads along the route and stuff is pretty fun.

I could see this game being a lot more fun to play offline. Its cool since building the roads would be a massive pain in the ass offline, but the 2mins you spend in each area before connecting it to the network is really the only time you actually get to use all the hiking mechanics. I might restart it and do it completely offline. All the trails have already been blazed. I know theres the big meta narrative about working together and yadda yadda, but its kinda lost when Sam's big hourny west is a 30min commute down the interstate.
