Death Stranding, man I cannot describe how brilliant this game was, perhaps this is one of the best story driven game I’ve ever played in my entire life. It has now taken the first spot in my list of games, its not just a game it’s an Experience, it’s a Deep emotion, it’s a feeling that makes you crazy and being lost at the beginning makes you want to google everything about it, even makes you want to stop playing it(that’s where all the negative reviews comes) but when you uncover the story slowly, indeed it will hit you hard, harder than any game ever could. You’ll be thinking about it for weeks.
This game has been a true rollercoaster. Hideo Kajima turned a delivery service into a fabulous game with an UNSUNG HERO. I do not have the right words to fairly describe this masterpiece when someone ask me about this game, I cannot bring myself to truly explain them how beautiful this thing was.
Graphics, the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The environment is made to be an exceptional visual treat. Astounding cast and award worthy performances. Gameplay and mechanics that immerse you completely in the atmosphere, which is truly unique unlike any other game. Sound tracks so good that you actually get lost and forget what were you doing.
I’m not going to lie, it was a challenging game as there is so much to do in this and yet all you do is delivering things lol, I don’t know when I got addicted to this. This game will bring out a sense of responsibility in you towards the community and other players playing. A review cannot convey the feeling of building a bridge to help others cross a treacherous river, or making a generator or putting ladder at a point where they are needed the most. It encourages you to find structures or tools that other players have put down to help you along your way, until you're able to put up your own structures and tools for other players to use. In doing so, you become a helper yourself., And that's when it hits you.
In a world that can sometimes seem so bleak and divided, Death Stranding teaches players a valuable lesson in community and goodwill. It teaches you to be grateful for community. Everyone is walking the same path and the weight you carry is not yours alone. What Kojima tried is that ‘He wants you to reduce the suffering of others and at the same time you can share yours with others.
The only con in this game is,
It requires a lot of patience Well at-least in the first two chapters yes, & whatever confusion you have or any plot-holes in the story you think there is, each and every single thing will be filled/explained at the end & believe me it will be the best feeling ever, like a 301 page book which you get to understand all of it at once on the last page. It’s not for everyone indeed but if you like it, it will be forever.
