This is a Hideo Kojima game where you deliver packages in a futuristic dystopian world where you're trying to connect to world together with a magic necklace and there's invisible dead people and sub-afterlife beaches and you go back into world war 1 and you teleport and the best part is the package delivering. I think Dunkey said it best when he hoped that this will be the worst strand type game. This idea has a chance to be incredible in death stranding 2 but as it stands there's too many flaws. I like how much you explore the side characters in the different episodes, but the whole story confusing to grasp onto. Especially at the end when you have to endure it for like 4 hours straight. It's ok in most of the game when you deliver packages for an hour, get a little story beat,, then deliver more. But it gets to be way too much at the end. There's also some goofy writing in here. I could go on and on about the problems I have. But ultimately I am looking forward to death stranding 2 in hopes that it'll not do away with its commitment to storytelling, but try and make it way more digestible.
