FRIST_008 Death Stranding Director's Cut Review
Nov 13, 2026
A game with its own vocabulary, a world in which I read every note I find, and on top of that there are kind of achievements for it: read 100 letters here, 100 lore entries there, and so on. But everyone probably knows the story here is top-notch. So what about the gameplay?
It's not a walking simulator, and it's not a courier simulator. Unexpectedly, it's a game about optimizing your route, like in strategy games, only on your own two feet. And I deliberately avoid games like that, because I drown in them and lose track of time... and here Kojima tricked me, and I drowned in the gameplay of optimizing my path... 10 strokes of genius out of 10... When a game tricks you and you love it. I just can't sleep when I'm playing this game. I keep saying, okay, I'll just deliver this cargo and go to bed... Three hours later: ARGH
