I didn't like this one as much as Death on the Nile. But I think I like it more than Murder on the Orient Express a smidge.

It was well produced and performed. Tina Fey was great in a slightly more serious role. My main issue with this film is that it doesn't work super well as a mystery film. The clues are very subtle and vague. The third act and reveal felt very rushed.

I hope the series continues.

I don't. But I guess I should clarify the market/economy be simulated for a single player (or optionally co-op) offline play.

It's loosely related. But at it's core Death Stranding is about rebuilding a nation after a massive ecological disaster.

I've always wanted something that takes an RPG (JRPG a la Final Fantasy or Western RPG a la Fallout) where the economy is real and active. Like, if I go out and grind to get 9999 of some valuable resource and just dump it on some poor merchant in some tiny town and sell them all and buy all other resources, that should have a noticeable impact on the local economy. Or that there are trade routes between towns Town A specializes in weapons while Town B specializes in healing items. Then you can support them by facilitating trade between towns or you could "be evil" and create larger imbalances in market demand. I don't know, it's just a super nerdy idea.
