What Is Death Stranding?

In case you're not aware, Death Stranding is a game by Hideo Kojima, starring the likeness (and voice) of Norman Reedus. 

The game's description says: "From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an all-new, genre-defying experience. Sam Bridges must brave a world utterly transformed by the Death Stranding. Carrying the disconnected remnants of our future in his hands, he embarks on a journey to reconnect the shattered world one step at a time."

Death Stranding was the first from director Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions after their split from Konami in 2015. It came to PlayStation 4 in November 2019 and by 505 Games for Windows in July 2020.

An updated version for PlayStation 5, Death Stranding Director's Cut, was released on September 24, 2021.
