It’s really a great ton of fun, but you have to find logistics/transportation/exploration and a little stealth fun. It’s not a “Little something for everyone” type of game. But if you like games like Snowrunner, truck simulators, or Elite Dangerous or if you just have a penchant for hiking/mountaineering, it’s the only real AAA game of its kind and you’ll like it a lot. Also while the story is somewhat nonsense, the worldbuilding and general “vibe” you get while playing it really revolted it above even it’s gameplay.
Gameplay wise, it’s looks fucking boring.
Everything else-wise, this is the probably closest we’re gonna get to Kojima making a film.

Hmm, I’ve always assumed I would hate this game, but I love snowrunner and trucking sims. Maybe I’ll pick it up while it’s on sale.
It’s actually kind of funny because that new Snowrunner spinoff game looks to have been inspired by the gameplay loop of Death Stranding too.
They’re adapting the game into a movie, it was announced quite recently IIRC

I don’t understand why a movie instead of, at least, a mini series…
I always wished they’d make a Yakuza miniseries. Hopefully this trend of film/show adaptations of video games continues.
Get Uwe Boll on it, stat!
