Honestly, just jump in and enjoy! Figuring things out as you go can be part of the fun. Don’t overthink starting with tips; sometimes experiencing it blindly is the best way to go!

The early chapters can feel slow, mainly tutorials with tons of cutscenes, so don’t skip them. Pay close attention to the story as it really builds up! Plus, read your emails as they provide important updates and lore about the world and characters.

Be patient! The first few hours are kind of a slow burn, but once you get through those initial chapters, the pace picks up. Enjoy the scenery and immerse yourself in the gameplay—don’t rush through it!

Don’t worry about using guides. I just finished my first playthrough without them and had a blast! Just be aware that you’ll be confused in the beginning, but it all makes sense as the game progresses. Plus, keep an eye on your stamina bar—it can sneak up on you if you’re not paying attention!

ZipLineMaster -

Get those zip lines set up as soon as you unlock them—they’re a game changer! And if you’re working towards improving your delivery rating, consider splitting larger deliveries unless you have a truck. Trust me, it’ll save you some headaches later on!
