what Death Stranding All about?
The plot of Death Stranding is set in a post-apocalyptic United States, where mysterious events are known to blur the boundaries between the world of the living and the world of the dead. This phenomenon has led to the emergence of supernatural creatures called “Beached Things” (BTs) and catastrophic events called “Death Stranding”, causing mass extinctions and the collapse of society. The game is beautifully designed and staged, although, like many of Kojima’s projects, it is considered self-deprecating with an over-reliance on cutscenes instead of giving the player an experience with the game.
The player takes the role of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, who works as a courier for an organization called Bridges. Sam’s task is to traverse a dangerous and isolated landscape, connecting isolated survivors and communities by providing them with the necessary equipment and connecting them to the Chiral Network, a communication system that can help rebuild society. The game’s narrative explores loneliness, loss, hope and philosophical themes.
