Sam Lake by far.
Really enjoyed Alan Wake and Max Payne.

Kojima's games on the other hand I find unbearably pretentious and lame. The guy's writing is insanely bad.

For me, what usually makes me drop Kojima games is the gameplay. I thought Death Stranding had a very interesting story with amazing cinematics, but I just couldn't handle the gameplay. It's way too complex. And in the bad way.

Yeah I often find that a lot of his design choices in terms of gameplay (and pretty much everything else) are based on "wouldn't this be weird/transgressive" rather than "is this actually fun".
