Death Stranding PC Review | Kojima’s Stunning Open World Is Best On PC
Death Stranding is certainly of a high calibre. It’s a beautiful open world game in which you play Sam Bridges, who must deliver packages across a post-apocalyptic United States. It’s almost literally a “walking sim”, in that you must consider your footing on uneven terrain, the balance of the packages on your back, and use social construction tools to gradually colonise and construct roads, bridges and other shortcuts on the routes you’ll take across terrain.
It also, naturally, has a batshit supernatural science fiction story, with incomprehensible too-long cutscenes and entirely comprehensible horniness for Mads Mikkelsen. It’s ambitious, audacious, personal, and unique in a way big budget games so rarely are. It was one of ourfavourite games of 2020.
Note that this freebie is the original game and not thebetter, stranger Director’s Cut, but don’t let that stop you. The original is still great.
