Episode 41 - Death Stranding: Smooth Walking Past the Critics to Excellence
We kick off season 3 with a hefty title: Death Stranding. In 2019, the title was the first release from the freshly-formed Kojima Productions. Controversy and confusion plagued the game even from before its release.
Was it nothing other than a walking sim? Why was it so bloody weird? Why didn't Sam talk? What's up with the baby in a jar?
These questions and more caused the game to be panned by most critics on launch. With the release of Death Stranding 2, however, many of these same critics are either pretending they liked the original all along, or suggesting that the sequel is radically different enough to justify their love of the second installment.
Join us as we discuss Death Stranding Directors Cut, its initial reception, and dig into what sets it apart from nearly every other game on the market as we begin our own journey through season 3 of the Deep Fried Gaming podcast.
