Death Stranding Director's Cut

Wow. What a game. For the first few hours I had about a hundred questions and answers to basically none of them. At some point I just stopped trying to understand everything and went with it. And that's probably the best advice I can give: just go with it. By the end, the pieces start falling into place and suddenly the bigger picture becomes clear. Really well done. I especially liked the Social Strand System. You rarely meet another player, yet their ladders, bridges, signs and structures can suddenly save your delivery. It's a clever way of making you feel connected to other players without turning the game into traditional multiplayer. Keep on keeping on.

I want to start by saying this game changed the way I look at videogames and what a game could be. This is much more than just a videogame. This is truly a work of art that deserves your attention. Don't let the "walking simulator" memes fool you. This game turns the simple act of traveling across rough terrain into an addictive rewarding puzzle. The loop of planning a route, building infrastructure, and helping other players online is incredibly satisfying. Backed by a beautiful soundtrack and stunning visuals, it is a masterclass in unique game design. Hideo Kojima assembled an elite movie cast and gave them full creative room to elevate the script. Combined with flawless facial capture technology, the actors elevate what could have been a confusing sci-fi concept into a deeply moving human drama that will leave you questioning what is going on in a good way. Upon finishing the game when it initially released on PS4 I found myself questioning what it all means? What was Kojima trying to achieve? What was the message behind it all? This lead me to consider this game as a work of art more than anything else. It is a beautiful unique experience that no other game has ever delivered me. If you're looking for an action packed game this isn't for you. If you're looking for something unique that could be described as a true work of art look no further. 10/10 must play game imo.

Great game with a lot of talking and explanations but the gameplay can be pretty fun, also tense and spooky. Some episodes really suck. Btw it was directed, scripted, sculpted, written, casted, ect by Hideo Kojima .
