As Hideo Kojima ’s first labor after leaving his longtime work of Konami , Death Strandingproved to be a divisive game among fans of Kojima ’s former titles . While many player were happy to have a less scrap - focused , more constituent play experience than what had previously been present intheMetal Gear Solidseries , others derided the plot ’s want of intensity and Kojima ’s ever - present penchant for admit just a small too much bizarreness into his game .
Death Stranding , despite the alter responses from players , is undeniably a technical masterpiece , with beautiful graphics and near picture - naturalistic characters . Thewalking mechanics ofDeath Stranding , something which is usually delegated to simply pushing onward on a dominance spliff in most game , project instrumentalist actually make to think about how they require to thwart over modest obstacles like rivers and boulders , and feel so much more on-key to life than what had previously been called " walking simulator " game in the past times .

Although it was namedThe Game of the Yearby multiple publication ( including this one)Death Strandingseems to continue to separate critic and audiences thanks to its occasionally frustrating innovation choices and lengthy stretches of nothing atrociously exciting happening . While Kojima’sDeath Strandingwas indeed innovative in a routine of ways , such as being one of the first massively democratic titles to allow players to turn pee into grenades , it just did n’t have thefun gameplay ofControl , the antic writing ofDisco Elysium , or the sheer unbridled entertainment ofUntitled Goose Game … at least , according to the GDC .
