Greetings from Lithuania.
I just finished the story of "Death Stranding" (2019). I'm still playing to reach 100%, but already i can say few things. The whole idea inside of me saying that i probably won't like this "slow based boring convoluted mess" as many and many and many reviews said upon its release was gone in like 20 min after i started playing "Death Stranding", almost 5 months after its release now. This game at the end of the day blew me away.
This is one of the most polished games i have ever played - and i do play lot of VG. I mean in whole 58 hours that took me to complete the story, this game never crashed or i ran into a single bug or frame drop - this is landmark achievement. Then there are gorgeous graphics. Motion capture is probably one of the if not the best made in video games ever. Music is amazing. Story was epic, and yes a difficult to understand all of it. But that did not made it bad. Acting was superb especially by Léa Seydoux and Mads Mikkelsen who were stood out for me. Other were good, but not on the level of these two. Only Mr. Guillermo del Toro should probably stay with directing - he is not an actor and it showed here. But this is a small issue. And then there is a man behind it all - Hideo Kojima, who here created of the most unique (if not the most) games that i have ever played. I loved the whole multiplayer aspect of sharing with others, like system and etc.
All in all, i loved "Death Stranding", probably surprisingly to myself. This is not a perfect game, and its story is confusing i admit, but still as a whole package this is bold, unique, superbly involving and addictive game that i have played in many, many years.
