Looking back at my thoughts on the original Death Stranding, I pretty much have the same things to say about this “Director’s Cut” iteration: I like delivering packages and I like the world, but man do I not care about the story and the cast here with the exception of Mad’s Solider Guy and Die-Hard Man.

Playing on the hardest difficulty, I found delivering was weirdly easy to handle but the mandatory war sections felt unbearable without additional planning beforehand.

Despite my hangups, I’m still excited for Death Stranding 2 and hope Kojima Productions leans even harder into the package weight management + daddy day care gameplay experience
