This game sort of has the opposite effect on me. I was never a big fan of the Metal Gear series, I'm too impatient. And a whole game set around doing deliveries seems boring to me, but it's admittedly beautiful and has a lot of hype around it. Is it really a fun game?

It is fun but it requires a lot of patience. If you didn't like Metal Gear and don't really have much patience then this game most likely isn't for you.

It's a very very slow burn, if the first is anything to go by. Like, there are high-action, combative moments but they are absolutely not the focus of the gameplay — majority is just planning routes, figuring the best ways to traverse the landscapes, and helping rebuild the local infrastructure for your Strand (the asynchronous multiplayer server shared with other players)

The main focus is on the messages, themes, and other literary merits of the story. Supposed to get you to think about things from new perspectives.
