Death Stranding review – delivering the goods
A work of unbridled ambition and imagination but also a pretentious, contrived, and frequently quite dull gameplay experience – Death Stranding is peak Hideo Kojima.
Fascinatingly strange game world and main characters; Solid combat and stealth mechanics; Superb graphics, with excellent voice-acting and facial animation; Interesting online features
The core gameplay loop of delivering packages can be very boring and repetitive; Narrative doesn't align properly with the non-violent gameplay
