![]() There's also an endless supply of Monster Energy in Sam's room, so why not get them to deliver some boxes too, eh?ĭeath Stranding's biggest questions are answered in classically long-winded Kojima cut scenes. You think they could work an easier way to make deliveries happen, even just to save poor Norman Reedus slipping a disc. This society has holograms everywhere, delivery robots and the ability to 3D print almost anything. Shop now Death Stranding Standard Edition (Higgs Variant) While there is some explanation in the game as to why society has to rely on people manually lugging heavy items around – namely the lack of Chiral Network coverage and putting the population out of work – it's still quite hard to believe. Then there's tech expert Mama ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's Margaret Qualley), along with rival porter Fragile ( James Bond's Léa Seydoux) and a looming enemy played by Mads Mikkelsen. He's supported by a pretty A-list cast, mostly BB expert Deadman (with the likeness of Guillermo Del Toro but voiced by Jesse Corti). Sam can see BTs using his Bridge Baby or BB, which allows him to scan for the ghostly enemies. To get across America, Sam also has to handle Timefall, rain which ages you, and MULES, crazed enemies who became so obsessed with delivering packages they went mad. They're Beached Things, dead people whose souls are trapped in purgatory since the Death Stranding event. What are BTs exactly? Not that catchy Korean boy band. He's tasked by the President to travel across America to link lots of different cities (Knots) to the chiral network – essentially the internet – in a bid to reconnect society and help them battle ghostly BTs.

Well, we've spent a solid 56 hours trawling through Kojima's barmy new creation, which promised to birth a new game genre, as he did with Metal Gear Solid's stealth gameplay, and sadly, the answer isn't a pleasant, or simple, one. But what the heck does it all actually mean? Are the answers actually interesting? And most importantly, does it all add up to a good game?
