I saw it in the PS State of Play and I still have no idea what I watched.

Too much fantasy nonsense. I saw the 1st game walkthrough for like 30 minutes couldn't continue after that.

I finished the first game. The story is dumb as hell and the combat sucks. But, gathering packages and delivering was pretty relaxing gameplay. The whole "strand" system or whatever he calls it where you get other players stuff in your game made the game WAY too easy. I pretty much didn't need to do anything as most of the stuff I might need to get somewhere was already done. Definitely would have preferred an offline experience.

The whole game is strange, it's litteraly a delivery simulator. I finished the first game, but I can't say that I understood anything at the end. The tory is very strange, combat is almost useless (in my opinion this game doesn't need it at all), but even though it was relaxing the first 10 hours of gameplay, later I got tired of it.

I think that Kojima is basically a movie director 'stuck' in the gaming industry. His games are weird, but I'd rather watch them, than play them. The last Kojima game I liked was MGS2, never really was interested by anything else from him since then. I recall just watching the cutscenes from both MGS3 and MGS4, saw a little bit of MGS5 and stopped there; never felt like I "missed" any important video gaming-related experience. Then again, I'm saying this because outside of MGS1 on PS1, and to some extent MGS2 (not all of it) his games never really grabbed me that much, to be very honest (despite how much people rave about them, or at least up to maybe MGS4).
