Death Stranding takes place in a world that doesn't afford much human interaction, and as such is a largely single-player experience. That 'largely' is important though. The perfect antidote to a solitary world is the asynchronous multiplayer elements, letting you quite literally see the steps other porters have taken in their journeys, every piece of equipment left behind helping your

More recently, Kojima has been dropping his own hints about a possible Death Stranding sequel. In September, around the time of the Tokyo Game Show , an image featuring the silhouette of a woman's face along with the words "Who Am I?" and the Kojima Productions logo was seen floating around the internet. During the PAX Aus gaming event in October, attendees spotted a QR code that, if scanned, leads to a poster hosted by Kojima Productions. The poster features Elle Fanning's face, along with the words "Where Am I?" and "A Hideo Kojima Game X Elle Fanni

One of the many talented inventions in the Half-Life universe is the Gravity Gun. This tractor beam-type device was designed to handle hazardous materials, and heavy lifting. On paper, the Gravity Gun is a good idea, as it helps people to do their jobs easier, with less ri

The game's story has been likened to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the pandemic's effects weren't fully felt until months after its release. Protagonist Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus , works as a "porter" who delivers goods and services to Americans, in particular connecting them via new networking technology. It's unsafe for anyone to leave their home due to the dangerous weather phenomenon called timefall, and fans have pointed out the way this bears a resemblance to lockdowns that much of the world was plunged i

Most of this was seen in the ladders and climbing ropes people left behind, or the Timefall Shelters and zip lines. One of the most impressive, though, were the dirt paths players made by all walking the same trails. More of this could be amazing in the sequel, seeing players terraform the environment even more with the simple act of existing in the world. It feels like the perfect step to show how people leave their mark on the world, thematica

Released in 2019, Death Stranding 2 story guide Stranding was the first game from Kojima Productions following Hideo Kojima's split from Konami . Both its gameplay and story were markedly different from Metal Gear Solid , moving to a post-apocalyptic walking simulator rather than a military sci-fi stealth game. Where MGS focused on political and militarist themes, Death Stranding was more concerned with human stories around themes of loneliness and ident

Some vehicles are pretty difficult to turn with, and drifting is practically impossible. It would be a great addition for Death Stranding 2 to include not only more vehicles but better ways for them to drive and st

Central to the themes and gameplay of Death Stranding was Timefall. It functioned like rainfall but caused anything touched by it to rapidly age and degrade. It was key thematically, tying into the ideas of extinction, but just as important in gameplay, deteriorating your gear and any cargo you were carry

Despite being a master of boss fights, Hideo Kojima left behind the roots of his Metal Gear boss fights for something more intimate. Boss fights in Death Stranding are few and far between, and mostly play the same, with the player not needing to think so much as to how they will beat their newest adversary. Death Stranding 2 should certainly implement better boss fig

When it comes to co-op, developers should look no further than Dark Souls . It’s one of the perfect examples of co-op, where players can willingly choose who joins them for their adventure. Players can be given warnings through messages, items from allies, and challenged with an invasion. These features would help Death Stranding 2 to become far more immersive and co-op frien

Like most sequels, they exist to continue the story and to implement changes to the game. Death Stranding 2 has the great potential of being a superior game to its predecessor. There are many things Death Stranding 2 could and should improve from the first 'Strand' type g

A normal katana is a practical and elegant weapon, but an energy katana is capable of so much more. Some depictions of the weapon can cut through most matter with little to no resistance. This makes the weapon far more dangerous than a normal katana, as even by touching it, the player could lose an a

There’s so much beauty in Death Stranding . Not only from the open world but for the emotional connection to other characters. This does not stop the game from being stressful, as they play as a glorified delivery man, trying to deliver parcels to people who are hidden away in bunkers while the player fights MULEs and

Despite the power of this weapon, one has to question what it was created for. In what world would humanity need a weapon that is capable of shooting a hole into the surface of Mars? The BFG9000 is too dangerous to be a practical weapon in war, as casualties may be from every s
