What have the PC critics said about Hideo Kojima's first post-Metal Gear project
An all-star cast, an awe-inspiring world and Hideo Kojima's unique narrative combined to make Death Stranding a big contender for game of the year in 2019 when it launched on PlayStation 4.
This month, the critically-acclaimed game has made its way to PC via publisher 505 Games, giving a much wider audience of gamers the chance to reconnect a shattered dangerous world one step at a time as protagonist Sam Bridges (Norman Reedus). Trekking across America with your parcels is no easy task as Sam has to escape or fend off MULEs, a group of bandit-like porters hellbent on stealing your precious cargo - as well as the invisible but extremely dangerous Beached Things (BTs) that are surrounded by 'Timefall', a dense rain that deteriorates Sam's cargo suit.
With its launch on a new platform, which includes the Photo Mode and high frame rate support among new features, we take a look at what the critics have been saying about the PC version of Death Stranding.
