Sorry, I know I'm so late to get on board with this game but it's like I've not known I've had muddy vision for so long then suddenly put on glasses and see it clearly for the first time!
Admittedly I've never been a Kojima fan (never played metal gear) and I think Norman Reedus is a very one note actor (don't hate me for either of those things 😄) So when I played Death Stranding in 2019, I was hoping for a new kind of experience which I definitely got but I also didn't really follow the story that much and didn't try after a while as it felt too confusing. I ended up completing the game after B-lining it but didn't get much out of it.
Trailer for DS2 started to come out and was scratching that same itch for wanting something different, so I told myself I can only purchase the sequal if I play the first game again in its entirety. This time around was totally different.
I don't know what has changed inside me but I connected with the story instantly, understand what I was meant to along the way, I was marveling at the creative sequence of events after being caught by a BT for the first time and having to fight off against those massive creatures, I got invested in the stories of the characters along the way, especially Mama, and I fell in love with the gameplay. Delivering cargo and connecting the Knots fully encompassed me.
I know I'm a late-comer but boy am I glad I tried this again. This game is nothing short of a masterpiece and I honestly can't wait for the sequal, not long now!
