Ikelos Death Stranding Review

Death Stranding, a.k.a. "The Great Walking Simulator"... I went into Death Stranding expecting something different, and boy... it definitely delivered on that! But not in the way I’d hoped. Hideo Kojima clearly had a vision, but for me, that vision got lost somewhere between endless hiking, confusing plot dumps, and… carrying boxes. I get that Death Stranding is supposed to be about connection and loneliness, and maybe it hits home for some. But for me, it felt disconnected from what makes a game fun. Beautiful visuals, great music, and a cool concept couldn’t save it from being, well… a boring delivery simulator with a confusing plot. Bold, artsy, and incredibly unique... but ultimately, it just wasn’t fun. And if I’m not having fun in a game, what’s the point?
