Death Stranding has been an enigma for so many years ever since the first Death Stranding trailer that it’s weird to say we finally have it in our hands, and a chance to see a Death Stranding ending to the story. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing though is totally down to the player, because I think Death Stranding is the most divisive game of all time. Some love it, some hate it. There’s no inbetween. Except in my case - where I love the Death Stranding story and all the Death Stranding cutscenes, but couldn’t STAND the Death Stranding gameplay. And that’s what this Death Stranding review is all about - it’s not really a review - but a first impressions as I explain why I couldn’t get on with the game and it’s ridiculous runtime, and why I think it’s a huge problem that it takes over 10 hours to eventually start going somewhere - no matter what the themes of the story are. Because I mean, check out those original Death Stranding trailer videos and the Death Stranding reveal. All that insanity is still here, and that’s what gripped me…..but the walking simulator aspect was a little too much. You can hammer a point home too hard, and that’s what I think Death Stranding gameplay ultimately becomes. There’ll be no Death Stranding explained video from me today, since I couldn’t bring myself to get to the Death Stranding ending, but I will watch a Death Stranding explained video or maybe even a Death Stranding walkthrough to see what I missed - has anyone done a Death Stranding speedrun yet? I’d love to see that. So either way, please enjoy my Death Stranding review. Of the first hour. Or 10. By the way, the Death Stranding OST or Death Stranding music is great.
