Personal Thoughts
I realize that I haven’t given you everything about the game (not even remotely close). I did this purposefully, as you should see this journey unfold through your own thoughts/eyes. I’m sure that each gamer out there will pull something from the game as it begins to reveal itself. For me, Death Stranding pulled me into the world of Sam Porter, put me in his shoes, and took me places that I had emotionally forgotten existed within myself. It played with my heartstrings, had me hugging my wife and kids more, and genuinely had me re-evaluate what really mattered in life, and the connections I had made with people along my own journey. It’s more than art to me, it’s an experience that shows the finality of life, the finite amount of time we have, and what we should intend on doing with the remaining time spent on this earth. This is something most gamers probably haven’t thought about when playing a game, but I guarantee you’re going to have these thoughts as you progress through Death Stranding.
As a good friend of mind always says, you aren’t going to make it off this earth alive, so you better start living.
Conclusion
Death Stranding reinvents how video game design can work. It takes you through an experience you didn’t expect, doesn’t hold back with its design intentions and execution, and takes the gamer through a journey like no other. This is a masterpiece that only Kojima could pull off.
Sony you are truly for the gaymers...
