It's hard to describe Death Stranding, as a dream-like experience about love, loss, loneliness, connection and stranding, all amid a stark and beautiful world.
You can have fun (as I did) delivering packages across middle America and knocking out crazed MULEs to get the materials to keep all the roads and machines in working order, as well as donate things to your fellow players. And that's a fine thing to do. But don't get lost in that, as it can all be done after the story, and I suggest that you play it that way.
I would describe the game as an experience, something to be taken in a bit at a time. It encompasses a kind of beautiful melancholy in a way that's hard to describe, and is well worth crossing the snow-capped mountains and rocky valleys for. Ultimately it's a tale of longing amid fear, connection amid isolation, and hope amid extinction.
