Selectstarters Game Review: Death Stranding

Death Stranding is a rare specimen in our current industry. It is what we can call an auteur game. After departing from Konami after many years of Metal Gear Solid, game director and storyteller Hideo Kojima travelled the world making connections, much like the main character in his future game.

As the name of the company suggests, this game was a Hideo Kojima’s vision. From story to gameplay and aesthetic, he dictated how he wanted that game to be. A one-man vision, we could say. Did this approach work? What was the result? That’s what we’ll discuss in the next paragraphs!
