Death Stranding Review — Kojima strikes gold

Death Stranding is a distorted vision of the open-world genre, pulled apart by its individual threads, deconstructed, and sewn back together in the image of its director, Hideo Kojima. It’s an astonishing, compelling and provocative experience, even if it isn’t always as exciting to play as it is to think about.
One correction: in the review, I explain that leaving dead bodies creates craters. But that's not quite right: craters are caused by Sam's death, and leaving dead bodies creates BTs, which have the potential to kill Sam and then leave a crater.

How do you write about the theme of boredom? Do you bore your readers with a boring story? If not, how do you evoke the feeling of ennui?
I think this game is like that - a game about isolation, alienation and disconnection. So the gameplay highlights the futility and drudgery of one man walking across a vast desolate world.
Then again, i have yet to play the game. Cant wait!
Subbed before this channel blows up. You sir deserve to be bigger than you currently are.
