    It’s an exceptional game, IF you can stomach the gameplay loop. Some might describe it as a walking simulator, a beautiful one, but a walking simulator nonetheless.

    It also has some great story telling, but the gameplay loop won’t change, so if you find that too boring, it might not be a game for you.

      I’m gonna be that guy and say that death stranding isnt a walking simulator by definition, walking simulators as a genre are more like visual novels meanwhile death stranding id more call a hiking simulator about the logistics of going from A to B.

      I’d say death stranding is more like euro truck simulator on foot than it is stanley parable.

      Other than that pretty much my thoughts on the game.

        I LOVE that description, and I completely agree. What I’ve noticed though, with people that do not enjoy the game, that they’ve all labeled it as a walking simulator.

        So I do get their ‘feeling’
