Next stop: The end of the world

Death Stranding is truly one of the kind. The story and characters introduced in the game are fascinating, the presentation of its world is captivating, and the gameplay is… strangely addictive.

This game was created for a very special type of person. A person who likes loneliness. And I love how it’s creating this sense of being lonely, while on the other side it’s making you feel that there are plenty of others around you. Sounds familiar comparing it to our times, right? And that's probably this game's greatest paradox. Especially that our main goal is to restore Chiral Network, which is essentially the Internet.

There is one more aspect of Death Stranding which literally stole my heart. This game has many special “moments”. Moments, in which you’re about to deliver something, you’re all alone, the world around you is beautiful, and suddenly the perfect song starts playing. Everything about these moments is absolutely perfect. It’s like an art hidden under the shell of a video game.

It’s definitely not a game for everyone, but everyone should give it a shot. Like I've stated above, it’s truly one of the kind. Death Stranding created its own micro genre, and you can’t compare it to anything out there.

Side note: I am playing Death Stranding mostly on Steam Deck, and the overall experience is great. There are moments when I am loosing frame rates, but in general, I wasn’t expecting it to play so well on this device.
