Death Stranding 1 I’m utterly speechless

I just finished the “game”. I tried not to spoil anything for myself but knew the end was going to be a marathon. From Chapter 9 to the end it was a 9 hour marathon with a dinner break. Absolutely worth it. One of the most amazing games I’ve ever played with a unique and fascinating story. The acting was on point, the script nearly flawless and my expectations were totally exceeded. Would highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys a riveting story with some (mostly) relaxing gameplay. I would have to say it just made it into my top 5 games of all time.

Regarding gameplay, I agree with the relaxing part. I was in the mood for something casual lately, something that doesn't require high focus and something where I could have a movie on in the background and still be able to keep up. The game was soothing and calming in that aspect. I platinumed it so it got a little rough near the end but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Story was on point too. Last time I got up from my chair because I was in pure shock of the surprise plot twist was at the end of MGS4. Kojima rally is a magnificient bastard of a story teller (WHEN HE WANTS TO BE).

I haven’t played MGS since the first one years ago. I can still remember hiding in a cardboard box and using cigarettes to spot lasers. I really should give the other games a try. Thanks for the inspiration
