Update: Mexico was just a tutorial 🙃

Cons:
- Why'd they change the button layout with no alternatives 😭
- The writing is stinky and on the nose more often than not, even for Kojima standards
- The game feels lifeless at time compared to DS1. (Maybe I need to get further, but everything feels kinda stilted and barebones at times)

Pros:
- The visuals are jaw dropping and the music is great
- The idea of going to Mexico is nice and raises a lot of questions that are fun to toy around with.
- It seems that the game is going to have a commentary on AI and automation in general and that has potential. KJP has done it before
