That sounds a little bit odd given it’s mostly just walking around and delivering items, however, it’s not as simple as it sounds… The opening five hours or so revolve around simply delivering packages to various people in the wastelands, slowly making your way across the open-world as the story is slowly drip-fed to you.Īlthough I had a hard time in the beginning due to the slow start, I took this time as an opportunity to get used to the gameplay of Death Stranding. It was hard for me to get into the story at the beginning, probably due to the lack of explanation and really slow pacing, but as soon as I got the gist of it, it became more enjoyable.

This leads me to the next point: The plot. However, when I went further into the game, I began to understand the world of Death Stranding a lot more.

It’s noticeable that the beginning of the game is meant to be confusing, without giving the player a proper explanation. Even when the creatures were introduced, I had no idea what they were supposed to be as they are invisible. This game threw me right into the events with very little explanation.

Regardless, he decides to help to connect different parts of the world, so there will be some hope left. Despite not being able to actually see them, besides their large footprints, Sam is able to sense them. In the very beginning, Sam happens to meet a mysterious woman and it’s immediately obvious that some sort of creature is haunting them. Humans are close to extinction and besides enemies, there is barely anyone around anymore. You see, the problematic thing here is that something dangerous befell the whole world and nothing is the same as it used to be. Well, despite having to walk around a lot whilst delivering packages without falling over…ĭeath Stranding introduces us to Sam Bridges, a courier (Porter) who oddly prefers to stay alone.

I’ve wanted to play Death Stranding since hearing about it when it launched on console last year, although I didn’t really have an idea of what to expect from it. As such, I was really hyped for Death Stranding to finally get released on PC, by publisher 505 Games, as it meant I had a chance to experience his latest game (as I don’t own a PS4). Let me start by saying that Death Stranding is my first Hideo Kojima game – Although I have heard a lot of good things about the Metal Gear series, I’ve never actually got around to playing them yet.
