Fostering those connections
If you want to know my thoughts on Death Stranding, please click on this as I'll mostly be going over my thoughts on the Director's Cut additions in this review.
It's really funny when you give Death Stranding a director's cut considering how much Kojima himself said that what we got was what he envisioned and more just corporate speak for a definitive edition of the game with better graphics and new gameplay additions that are pretty popular during the console generational leap going on right now and the past few years.
We can ignore the usual suspects: better graphical tech, quality of life stuff, extra cars and mission to focus on the big additions.
The new ruined factory area and missions are pretty cool additions as I've realized that you mostly always fight and operate in these outdoor and open spaces and being an actual indoor location brings some much needed variety in the folder with a pretty good arc and conclusion.
Open world additions like new roads being able to be built and new structures like jump ramps, cargo catapults and chiral bridges bring a bit more versatility into the fold granted I never understood the use for cargo catapults as much.
One of the most surprising ones is an actual racetrack in which you do time trials in an effort to unlock the cool and click roadster which looks like an expensive car that goes really fast but completely awful for rough terrain so only good on roads. A few new additions like a firing range to test stuff out and drills for more opportunities to actually use guns in general.
Apart from new enhancement to already existing gameplay systems such as better melee, being able to replay certain moments, new regular orders. This is pretty much your run of the mill definitive edition with extra content in which I feel that you will probably appreciate the quality of life more than the actual additions but considering that this version is the most accessible, it's the best version of Death Stranding barring some performance issues.
