Any Death Stranding players?

If a chill, very easy mode game with a story told entirely through metaphor seems interesting to you, then give it a shot.

The entire game--using that word loosely--is a fascinating trip through a mindfrick.

Here's a personal challenge...beat the game, then explain the story to someone irl.

I recommend giving it a shot just because it's so up its own arse, it's impressive. The uniqueness of it is a selling point. It's the Sharknado of video games.

I very much enjoyed it, but it's a very polarizing game. There was actually a recently bumped old thread that had a few pages discussing it: LINK /

I just started it a week ago. The landscapes and general vibe is so chill I love it. Getting mixed up with BTs and MULES can be downright freaky at times too. Overall I’m loving it

You guys are gonna have to bear with me on this one, but I think the only comparison you could make for this game to people unfamiliar with it is that the game style is basically like you are sailing a ship, except the ocean is land.

It has all the mechanics of an ocean and you load your ship and travel port to port

You have to be okay with making deliveries as the main mechanic, though. It's not an action game most of the time.

I've been playing Snowrunner and Farming Simulator. Boy am I ready to keep on delivering.

You mean UPS training video, errrr game?

Just to give you some perspective, I’m a huge, huge fan of Hideo Kojima’s work. I’ve played every Metal Gear game ever made 3+ times, and once in story chronological order from start to finish and I think it’s the greatest video game story ever written. I also like to watch movies and play games with dark themes in general.

That being said, I didn’t like Death Stranding. I found it boring and extremely depressing to the point that it affected me in real life for a few days after I finished it. The weird BB shite, the flashbacks, the story being completely death-centric, etc. I just didn’t care for the game and wouldn’t buy the sequel.

That being said x2, it is interesting enough to warrant buying and playing IMO. Some people think it’s a masterpiece, I just don’t personally like feeling like I’m in a deep depression after finishing a game.

It’s a unique game and I enjoyed my time with it but I don’t think I’d replay it. I might check out the sequel. I enjoyed the music and spooky interesting landscapes but in typical Kojima style the plot is bonkers
