Summary

Played Death Stranding after its 70% Steam discount (£16), saying its unusual delivery premise would not justify full price. About 80% involves cargo delivery across hazardous terrain; ladders, upgrades, combat, and vehicles add variety, but progress becomes tedious and frustrating. He criticizes weak rewards, no currency or shops, an empty world, and invisible players, proposing MMO-like interaction and house-building.

Insight

Unique ideas are undermined by repetitive systems; affordability, not quality, drives his recommendation.
