Death Stranding

Summary

In Death Stranding, players traverse a rugged America as Sam Porter Bridges, planning routes, balancing cargo, and building roads, zip-lines, and shelters while evading BTs and raiders and linking settlements to the Chiral Network. Its asynchronous cooperation—where player-built structures persist across worlds—popularized the “strand game” idea and showcased Decima’s cinematic realism under Kojima’s new independent studio.
