"Daddy" in this context is a terms submissive female uses for her dominate (usually male partner) in a sexual relationship or something similar (prostitute/pimp or super young/super old dynamic).
I'm trying not to prejudge this game but that is my impression too. Kojima's name has people actively looking for reasons to enjoy, like, or at least appreciate what looks like a relatively mediocre offering. One the one hand its an approach that more gamers should give to games that interest them rather than writing off games wholesale real fast, on the other hand, its really dumb that a dev with a cult following gets this level of leeway while other, likely better games, come and go. The controversy sells though so I understand why they are going deep on it.
I'm not a brain doctor, but I'm not convinced "you can only talk about the first half of this game" is a good policy to enforce alongside "people aren't going to like the first half of this game."
That sounds like Kojima being overly optimistic that the twist ending is some profound thing that he does not want spoiled.

We've had so many amazing looking, smooth animating Metroidvanias (From teams big and small) that this one really underwhlems. Its not bad but the animations are stiff, the backgrounds don't mesh with the sprites. The backgrounds/levels feel blocky and square and the models really feel like they are 2d and that they are seperate from the level and not part of it, if that makes sense. Its not very cohesive and that I think is why its jarring.
