CLOUDPUNK DECISION ABOVE THE CLOUDS PC
Again, WTF, Hideo?Īnyhoo, this review is focusing more on the technical aspects of this PC port. Another time, I clearly overloaded poor Sam with too many containers, causing him to stumble and fall, dropping all his cargo and causing the baby strapped to his chest in a pod – a BB which can help Sam sense the BTs – to cry. In another encounter, the aforementioned tentacled whale returned, but I threw three grenades made out of Sam’s blood at it and it exploded in a shower of gold flakes.

I wish I’d remembered to get a capture of it: It was wild. A giant tentacled whale then dropped from the sky, ate me, then when I found my body (after floating through water), a giant crater had suddenly been created, surrounded by dead fish. I mean, in one encounter with the game’s ghostly enemies – BTs – a trike I was riding got stuck in some black goo that rose up from the ground. Let’s be honest here, Death Stranding is a weird game. He does this by delivering vital packages from point A to point B, all the while reconnecting the UCA (United Cities of America) to a network that will reunite them. Broken down to its core elements – it’s a game where you play a courier in the future (Sam Bridges), tasked with reconnecting a fractured America. Players control Sam Porter Bridges (played by The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus). Where there are a wide range of hardware variables at play, unlike consoles which are standardised in their design and hardware. Also how Guerilla’s Decima game engine – which was used in Horizon Zero Dawn – scaled to a PC. I was curious to see how it played on a PC with more powerful hardware than a PS4. It was with some trepidation that I agreed to look at Death Stranding on PC when asked by the esteemed editor of this fine publication. I never played Death Stranding on PlayStation 4, but did play Metal Gear Solid V on the console and wasn’t a fan. Versus those that found it good looking game hindered by repetitive gameplay. Those that saw it almost as the second coming as one of the best games they’d ever played. Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding is a game that polarised gamers when it came out on PlayStation 4 and you had two camps. This review was originally published over at Koru-Cottage, another site I write for.
