The first 4 hours:

Cut scene, cut scene, 5 mins of gameplay, cut scene, cut scene, cut scene, cut scene, 10 mins of gameplay, cut scene, cut scene, 5 mins of gameplay, cut scene, cut scene, dialogue scene, dialogue scene, dialogue scene, 10 mins of gameplay, cut scene, dialogue scene, dialogue scene, dialogue scene. At that point I gave up; the constant interruptions were exhausting.

Good world-building, decently intriguing story, dull but well-fleshed out (if over engineered) postal delivery and broadband supplier simulator (and even THAT is constantly interrupted by mobile phone calls), terrible menu UI, and absolutely atrocious pacing.

Overhyped and overrated. If this didn't have Kojima's name attached it would have had a mediocre reception.
