I found it boring to be honest. The gimmick is that Frieren is old, and that's supposed to make us have deep thoughts about life and the nature of time, right? Well, other fantasy media has been playing with the "Elves live long" trope ever since Tolkien, so it's nothing new to be honest.
It might not be generic anime, but it is generic fantasy for sure.
Notes Taken During Gameplay
I try to treasure each and every single encounter in the game. Every time I see something different, a porter name that catches my attention, or simply some cargo description that I find most interesting, I write it down so I can "fix it onto my brain" and remember about it later.
Sometimes, I'll look up for porters that seem interesting on Steam and add them. I then explain what sign, cargo, or contribution that made me find them in-game.
That's it. That's how a neurodivergent, austistic-minded individual plays Death Stranding, I guess!
