Death Stranding is at its best when it is conveying its themes and messages through gameplay, though they're delivered far less subtly in the cut-scenes and dialogue. Death Stranding has heavy political overtones , with characters often saying things like "Make America Whole Again," and files in the anime Game collectibles making direct reference to things like Brexit and Donald Tr

Playground Games could probably look at how Nintendo designed Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or better yet, Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima . In the latter, players find themselves in an expansive version of ancient Japan, and instead of putting waypoints to direct players where their next objective will be, Ghost of Tsushima allowed players to utilize the environmental elements to get a sense of where they need to head to n

If, in fact, Fable 4 is coming soon , it begs the question of why more wasn't shown. The most probable answer is that the game is still in very early stages of development, and that this reveal trailer served only to announce its existence to fans. Though there have been Fable games throughout the last decade, the last main entry in the series, Fable 3 , was released in October of 2010. That means that by the time the Xbox Series X comes out, it will have been over a decade since the release of the last main entry g

One of the strongest weapons in Fable 2 is The Wreckager, a legendary Cutlass that can carve through opponents at rapid speeds while dealing 65 damage a swing . It has the Fear Itself, Golden Touch, and Stoneskin augments. Any swashbuckling pirate or melee enthusiasts will want this devastating weapon. It's just a shame it is obtained so late in a playthro

While other characters may turn on the Hero based on their morality, especially when the Hero becomes the King or Queen, Walter understands what's at stake since he faced the Darkness with the Hero, so he knows that the Hero might do "bad" things just to try and save as many people in Albion as possi

While most RPGs would task players with killing a certain number of enemies or obtaining a rare item, these Demon Doors might ask for the player to laugh in their face or kick a chicken into its mouth. Here are all nine Demon Door challenges present in Fable 2 and how to solve t

He grew mad as he tried to rebuild The Spire and eventually decided that he would rather change the world into his image of a perfect place with no death rather than bring back his family. To some people, that might sound like an appealing world, but not when he was willing to use kidnapped people as slaves to achieve this w

While players are out delivering packages and guzzling Monster Energy, they will notice structures and items that were left behind by other people playing the game. This is Death Stranding 's Social Strand System at work, and it's easily the game's best feature. We would go as far as to say that the Social Strand System is brilliant, and experiencing it for oneself almost makes putting up with the game's many shortcomings worth

Plus, they both don't talk much, so their actions speak louder than words. Depending on the player's choices, the Hero of Bower Lake can make some big decisions that either hurt or help countless people across Albion, making them a well-known figure around town, but they don't have as much personality sometimes as the first H

This is a no-brainer, as this dog is the best boy to ever appear in the series. He's lovable, he can do tricks, he's always happy to play fetch with the Hero, and he's very useful when it comes to finding treasure and dig sp

She shows up frequently to make a case for why the Hero should turn factories into schools, keep Bower Lake, and even fix Bowerstone Old Quarter so it can be used by people in Albion. She's an extremely morally good person, and that also helps the Hero to gain good morality points when siding with

Of course, tied to the choices of players is the morality system in Fable . In previous installments, the morality system is pretty straightforward and choices players make would dub them as either good or bad. Instead of this black and white approach, Playground Games could design the morality system to embrace more morally grey choices that would go beyond a two-dimensional view of a character's moral

Featuring a whopping 177 damage per shot, The Enforcer is the hardest-hitting Blunderbuss in Fable 2 . That said, the weapon has the shortest range out of every weapon in its archetype. It acts similar to a shotgun, destroying any foe that dares to get close. Barkskin and Lucky Charm are also part of this weapon, granting damage resistance and even more damage at the cost of scarr

Just like Jasper, Walter is a loyal friend to the Hero throughout the entire game. While his story does have a tragic ending, no matter what choices the player makes, he's still a guiding force for the Hero the whole time that he's aro
