From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an all-new, genre-defying open world action adventure, starring Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner.
In the near future, mysterious explosions have rocked the globe, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death Stranding. With otherworldly creatures plaguing the landscape, and mass extinction imminent, it’s up to Sam Porter Bridges to travel across the ravaged wasteland and save humanity from impending annihilation.

A relaxing experience all about the emergent gameplay of traversing a massive landscape and whether you're prepared for it or not. Best consumed in small chunks, and make sure you play it online - helping and being helped by other players is one of its biggest strengths.
For most of it, it was a 4* time, but the pacing goes really out of wack towards the back end of the game, with what feels like over half the spoken dialogue shoved into the last quarter. With how much dead time Death Stranding has (as far as audio), I feel like more could have been done to get to know the characters and story without the Kojima brand exposition dumps.
the best comment i've ever seen about this game was
"it might not be a game for everyone, but it's certainly a game for me"

i already played it a bit on PS4 and saw a playthrough of it, but actually playing it and finishing... one of my favorite games ever now
Changed my life, also banger soundtrack
I absolutely adored this game start to finish. I know so many people undervalue this game and put it off as a "walking sim" which most of it absolutely is about just walking but I feel that's grossly underselling what this game offers. People are way too quick to label something as "bad" just because they don't like it. This game is far from a bad game. Playing this game and helping fellow players out whilst also being helped by them was one of the most amazing feelings I've felt during a game. It really reminds me of when you actually see a Useful note in the souls series except this time other players are DIRECTLY helping you. I'm so excited for the Sequel.
It's like playing Metal Gear Solid 5 but with a fat dude with a heavy backpack.
Very good experience, felt nice seeing people were using my bridges / ropes, and helping someone else build structures. I just doubt I will be replaying it any time soon lol. Cannot wait for Death Stranding 2!
