There’s also time fall to contend with - rain that speeds up the ageing process of everything it touches from plants to living beings.Īmidst this chaos, Death Stranding puts you in the role of Sam Porter Bridges. Global communications have been severed and humanity has been scattered and divided, holed up in underground living quarters. Death Stranding is a remarkable achievement in ways more than one.ĭeath Stranding is set in a bleak world fractured by invasions from near invisible otherwordly spirits known as BTs (Beached Things). After the narrative missteps that were Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, Hideo Kojima and his team at Kojima Productions has finally found the right balance of story and gameplay along with spectacular production values that command your time and attention. On watching Death Stranding’s credits roll at the end of a generous 50-hour campaign a sense of relief washed over me.
