Death Stranding Review : The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

It took me 4 attempts to play through the game. Was it worth it? 👀

🔹The Good🔸 The Bad🔻The Ugly

The Good

🔹Despite popular opinion, it's not a "Walking Simulator", It's also:

• Running simulator

• Climbing simulator

• Driving simulator

• Flying Simulator

• Construction simulator

• Minefield simulator

And much more and it's all fun except the first few hours.

🔹 It's not just a game, it's a sense of helping the community and other players along in your journey. Structures built by other players can be used by you and vice versa to make your journey easier.

🔹 Excellent graphics and excellent environments, will leave you in awe at times.

🔹 Gameplay is very unique, like no other. It will frustrate you at times but you will come to appreciate it.

🔹 Music in the game hits at the right moments, it makes you wanna walk even more.

🔹 Road construction and Zipline mechanism in the game is top notch, you will love it.

🔹 Combat, is different from other games, it's as stealthy or as CoD as you want it to be.

🔹 Story of the game is excellent but will require your full attention

🔹 Every character in the game is well crafted with excellent stories.

The Bad

🔸 Forced missions where you have no other options but to walk.

🔸 Infrastructure deterioration over time. I don't want to repair the infrastructure that I put in so much time building.

🔸 Long story, even though its good, it's stretched too much, especially in the end. It took 5 more hours for the game to end, after you think the game is about to end and it's mostly just cinematic.

The Ugly

🔻Pacing in 1st few hours, kills it. You need to play through the 1st 5 hours for the game to open up. Episode 3 is when it gets better.

🔻Too much cinematics in 1st few hours and at the end of the game.
