Unsurprisingly, I like this game, as usual, the review will have 3 categories to cover (which is surprisingly small).

Story: Not bad, seeing as this game is inspired by Bioshock (in a way), I could see it as a spinoff to it, i don't have anymore words, probably because it's best experienced blind, but i can say that the dialogue is not bad (in my opinion)

Music: Oh it rocks alright, there's a personal favorite of mine, and it's the first boss fight, something about the booming music and the guitar hits hard

Gameplay: It's challenging and somewhat simple, the bosses are kinda difficult but still beatable, and the powers ARE awesome.

I've followed Atomic Heart for quite a while, and this game hasn't been disappointing at all, ever since the dancing robot thing on Youtube, it has me attached, overall, it's worth it, get the game, and kick some robot ass, btw, try to experience it blind.

so I decided to do like a small review on this game just for the fun of it, but like always, gonna split it to 2 sections: Story and Gameplay, I'd do music but it's nothing special tbh

Story: Now unlike Remedy's Usual Stories (i.g: Control, Alan Wake and Max Payne), This was apparently not connected to the Remedy Verse but instead a Standalone, Mainstream-type of story, specifically a Time-Related Story, and this story was actually pretty interesting, It wasn't one where the story was going to be confusing, and technically the Main Character didn't use a Time-Machine like he was The Doctor from Doctor Who, instead, it gives (only) the Main Character and The Villain the powers, I'm, of course, trying my best to remember most of the story because i played this like a long time ago, but all i'm can think of saying rn is this: You'll need to play the game to understand the story, and trust me, it's not too confusing.

Gameplay: the Time Powers were awesome, I like how it was implanted like how it could realistically work (not too realistic), and the gunplay, while not too crazy, was pretty good, even the variety of weapons was also not too bad, but there is one thing that I kinda had a problem with, The Episodes, I don't know if it was just me but when I tried to watch through it, it just sped up like unnecessarily fast, I ended up watching the Episodes on YouTube instead, oh btw, There are choices in this game, but they don't really change the ending, more like it shows the effects of the choices made by The Villain, which is pretty cool.


TL;DR: It felt like a pretty short game, entertaining to say the least, the powers were cool, and the story wasn't bad.

Hideo Kojima was someone who is pretty famous (and infamous), mostly for Metal Gear and some other Konami, and being one of the people who can easily recall the Metal Gear timeline in one go, and since DS2 got announced, I thought i give my thoughts on Death Stranding, which I happen to love a lot, I'll split this into sections: you've got Gameplay, Music, Story and closing thoughts, with that settled let's start with music, as that's a vital part of Death Stranding

Music: I love it, mostly because it's experimental in a way, I like how it can go from the horror movie style soundtrack from Ludvig Forrsell to the smoothest and relaxing sounds from Low Roar, as a Writer that is doing stuff for VRC Roleplays, i've found music like Low Roar to be more of where I get some of my ideas to pop out, overall 10/10

Gameplay: I'll be honest, I like the gameplay but even I know there's a bit of a problem with the driving, lemme explain, Imagine this: you've riding a motorcycle to say, Die Hardman's office in Central Knot City, you've managed to avoid BTs and MULEs trying to kill you or take your packages, you're getting closer and then a small pebble from nowhere stops your motorcycle right on it's tracks, Tl;dr: loved the walking gameplay, shooting could be better, Vehicles could be done a lot more better. 7/10

Story: Loved it as well, remember when I gave Music a 10/10? the story is also why, certain scenes along with the music fits so well, as for the dialogue, I liked it, along with the characters, Fragile and Higgs being both my favorite characters, now normally, I could try making a non-spoiler synopsis for this game to get you interested, but I've seen that it's a little tough in a sense, so if I were you, give this a try, it may not be for everyone, but it could be for you 10/10

Closing Thoughts: I've become a fan of Hideo mostly because of MGSV, I know, sounds interesting, initially, i thought it was just a cool story, but when I checked the whole thing for Metal Gear, I got Invested, so truth be told, I also became interested in Death Stranding because of it, now I'm here writing this review to say, give this a try, if you don't like it, that's fine, at least you gave it a try and gave a opinion.

As of right now, it's a mixed opinion, sure the mods being literally erased was the worst thing to happen, I, myself, has already finished my strike on this game, the only reason why i may stay is because the alternatives right now need to be given time for the worlds, servers and avatars, until then, it's a mixed opinion dispite the negative review, I am dissapointed in VRChat for the recent EAC Update, but only time will tell what happens next.

it's a god game with a great community!
