Just recently fully completed DEATH STRANDING!
Absolutely Fantastic Game!
While the gameplay might not be for everyone, and put quite a few people off. The story is absolutely fantastic, and I can definitely recommend playing this, even if just for the story.
while the gameplay may not be for everyone, as if you do want to go for 100% completion, it is a big grind, if you just play it for the story, you should be able to finish it a lot quicker than what it took me to 100%.
With directors cut coming out soon, I think I will give it a bit of time, and re-play the game with the new directors cut content when it comes out.
Genuinely a fantastic story, and game!

I had a lot of enjoyment from this game, really a fantastic game, and story.
I hear the ‘it’s not for everyone’, or ‘it’s just a walking sim’ comments going around, and those sort of comments are the reason I got this game so late after release, I think the game is good, and the story is fantastic, for everyone. While the gameplay may not be for everyone, the story, and cutscenes are fantastic.
In my personal opinion, even if the gameplay puts you off, if you just focus on main story when playing, there isn’t all that much ‘walking sim’ in all honesty. So if you do want to give this game a shot, but are being put off by the ‘walking sim’ elements. Give it a shot when it’s on sale, I thoroughly recommend!
I’m of the opinion that the game is one big metaphor for what happened between Kojima and Konami.
Really enjoyed the game.
If I want to experience the story without the ‘walking sim’ elements, couldn’t I just save $60 and watch a long-play on YouTube or something? What do I gain by playing the game instead if I don’t like the gameplay?
You could totally do that too!
For me personally, I feel like watching a video of either just the cutscenes, or someone else playing through the game won’t be as satisfying a story.
In terms of price, it goes on sale fairly often, and I picked the game up for about 23 AUD (which translates roughly into 17 USD).
I was of the opinion that I wouldn’t enjoy the ‘walking sim’ elements, but I genuinely enjoyed the game.
