Thanks! It’s really difficult to recommend Death Stranding because it’s so weird and different people are going to have very different tolerances for its bullshit. The RRP of £50 is quite a large punt to take on a game that’s largely experimental, and whose experiments don’t always work out. I imagine it’ll be 50% off this time next year though, and £20-25 is my personal “Eh, what the hell,” threshold.

I’ve become accustomed to this process of organising my thoughts about games via reviewing them and have noticed I remember far less about the ones that I don’t, so while I might leave it for a long period of time because I’m not playing games or just don’t feel like writing about them, I’ll always come back to this blog eventually!

(Well this is exciting, apparently it’s not letting me comment with my user account despite being logged in.)

Hands down the best review of Death Stranding I’ve read. Somehow I want to experience this game now, for better and worse.

Mgsv has 50 missions, and every mission has a “A Hideo Kojima Production” at the beginning

I am equally fascinated and put off it. Even more so after reading…

But I don’t think I can stomach Kojima’s bullshit, ultimately.

The brilliance of Kojima is not his plots, his character designs, or even his emergent gameplay.

It’s coming up with a game where the primary challenge is figuring out how to walk without tripping over, and getting Sony to give him $100M and Mads Mikkelsen’s phone number.
