Feb. 2025

I was such a fool on sitting on this gem of a title for such a long time. But its better be late that never, and its the same thing for me playing Death Stranding. Many of the reviewers and players told that this game takes a while to get going and many drop this game during that time; but for me, I had been hooked to this game from the start. I literally played for 20-30 hrs in the starting region alone, taking in deliveries, finding lost cargoes and constructing equipments, making my commute easier. People get bored during the first few hours of back-and-forth alone, but I played for that soothing journey, completing assignments and traversing the landscape. Then the game, as well as the story opened up to me, and blew me away. The explanations of BTs, BB, the flashbacks etc. all were confusing at first, but the thing that got me attached to the game was the very humane acting and emotions shown by the NPCs played by real life hollywood actors and celebrities. Each chapter with it drawing conclusion on each of the characters really kept me interested and wanting to know more what happens next. And the main antagonist, the finale and how the big reveal happens literally brought tears to my eyes. Death stranding is a very curated game, and not for everyone. But those who enjoy this type of 'walking simulator' with a great story, mesmerizing acting and soundtracks that gives you eargasm, Hideo Kojima has got your back with a fun, emotional journey of a game that is Death Stranding. "If You're Not Scared Of Death, How Can You Value Life?"

Death Stranding Director's Cut – The Ultimate “Walking Simulator” You Didn’t Know You Needed Death Stranding Director’s Cut is the only game where delivering packages on foot across a post-apocalyptic America somehow turns into an existential journey about connections, ghosts, and… monster energy drinks? (never mind, they removed it in this version of game) You play as Sam Porter Bridges, a delivery guy with the emotional range of a brick, tasked with rebuilding society by literally hiking through miles of rainstorms, cliffs, and supernatural events – all while carrying more boxes than an Amazon warehouse during Black Friday. And if you trip (you will trip), you’ll watch your packages roll down a mountain while you scream in despair. The Director’s Cut adds “extra content,” which basically means you now have a racetrack in this bleak, ghost-infested wasteland. Because nothing screams “emotional depth” like a casual go-kart ride next to invisible spirits who want you dead. And don’t forget about BB, your little jar baby sidekick! BB cries every time you fall, so you’ll spend a good chunk of this game rocking your controller to soothe it like a stressed-out parent at 2 a.m. It’s oddly adorable and completely unnerving. In short, Death Stranding Director’s Cut is Hideo Kojima’s weird, beautiful, and surprisingly therapeutic delivery sim that somehow makes carrying packages through hell feel meaningful. Just don’t question the plot too much – nobody really knows what’s going on, including, probably, Kojima himself.

I can see why a lot of people hate this game, the gameplay is not for everyone as it requires a lot of patience in order to play this game, it's kinda like eurotruck simulator, you get satisfaction from getting the job done. But this game's story is amazing, it's so good in fact it's so worth going through the gameplay. The story is a Kojima classic, with multiple themes about the importance of human connection, the afterlife, the importance of time in our world and extinction. If you love movies/games with thought-provoking narratives this game is for you.

Its more than a walking simulator. Sometimes its a running simulator, a swimming simulator, and a getting-dragged-away simulator. 9.5/10

May 2024

PATIENCE Many players, including myself years ago, struggled to finish the game. My advice: focus on the main mission path initially. Avoid difficult side missions until you: 1. Unlock the chiral network in the area (other players' signs and buildings will become available after this). 2. Unlock guns and grenades. 3. Unlock vehicles, power suits. Without these, the game can feel like self-torture, and you might give up early as I did years ago on the PS4. The Concept is Philosophical The game might not appeal to everyone, especially those seeking instant gratification. Years ago, I bought the game on its PS4 release and dropped it quickly because I didn't understand its message and focused too much on side missions before unlocking all the QoL features. Today, with our fast-paced lives filled with instant gratifications like TikTok and short content, "Death Stranding" stands out. The game teaches patience and the value of investment, leading to great satisfaction and results. Gameplay The game is highly difficult at the start but becomes easier and less hassle-filled over time, which is a good thing. Initially, it's 75% hiking sim and 25% horror. If you're looking for constant action like in "Resident Evil" or "Call of Duty," this game isn't for you. It’s a slow burn that becomes immensely satisfying. After passing the first area, the game becomes significantly more rewarding. You’ll unlock tools for faster travel, such as semi-fast travel options, special suits, and vehicles that help carry more loads and run faster. Connecting the chiral network in any area unlocks other players' buildings, which is a huge help. What I Like The game doesn't give you everything at once. It gradually unlocks great features, keeping the game fun and engaging even after hours of play. It makes all those helpful items you get from the investment actually meaningful.
