Opinion: Death Stranding deserves a chance, you guys

Death Stranding is trying to be realistic in its gameplay mechanics and surpassing all the grounds when it comes to its universe, story and characters.

The point is, Death Stranding has a clear cut vision and Hideo Kojima is trying to show off as little as possible because he doesn't want to ruin it for us.

Death Stranding is about connections, about complex characters, about reuniting the society, its more realistic in its vision than many other games out there.

Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, created a painstakingly detailed open world and added features that felt believable and realistic to immerse us in it. This, however, doesn't mean the game was "fun" in the usual way, and many fans complained that they didn't feel a sense of progression since there were not the usual checklist of things to complete. Rather, RDR 2's open world had hidden all of its mechanics in the far ends of its beautiful open world - one only had to look closely.

Death Stranding

Death Stranding is trying to be realistic in its gameplay mechanics and surpassing all the grounds when it comes to its universe, story and characters. It wants us to take in the beautiful sights without shoving another enemy encounter in our faces every 15 seconds. It wants us to feel like a delivery man by throwing different traversal and survival mechanics at us. it wants us to be emotionally attached to our BBs by rocking them and singing them a lullaby to calm them.

It wants us to feel many more things as well, which Kojima is saving until the game's release, so that we find it for ourselves.

In other words, we need to give Death Stranding a chance, rather than throwing it out with the bathwater before even trying. Sure, it won't be a usual open world with a checklist of an infinite amount of things to do (that's a long checklist, now that I think about it) and it doesn't really have to. I would rather pee, take in the beautiful sights, rock my BB and immerse myself into its mysterious world with the help of its story and characters.
