Now you can walk while you walk

Is there anything else to this game beyond just carrying things on your back? I saw a video months ago and was trying to work out what the attraction factor was.

Yes, there's much more.

But it's hard to explain without spoiling things, as is typical for Kojima games. His games often feature unique and bold new gameplay, have a strong focus on character storytelling ( almost movie-like), all embedded in worlds that share many similarities with our own, but have bizarre twists to them.

In terms of gameplay, it has elements of survival, crafting, stealth, fighting/shooting, and navigation.

I consider Kojima games pieces of art. Not everyone will enjoy them, sure, but it's worth having at least attempted to interact with them, purely to experience their hard to forget uniqueness. Those that find the gameplay enjoyable often rank it as a game of the decade in terms of memorability.

I played through MGS last weekend for the first time. Its really amazing how much consistency and quality has been in his story telling. I would agree it's not for everyone, but it is definitely respectable and something worth experiencing if you can try it out on Gamepass or at a friend's, if you think it's not for you

Some Fighting, a pretty good story, awesome music and horrible driving.

It really isn't for everyone imo but it's a game kinda in it's own genre.

That's pretty cool. This is one of my favorite games on PC. Recently, I've been replaying it on the steam deck. It's not a very heavy game, and works well on a mobile platform. I can see it being reasonably playable on a touch screen, too.

Was this the game I heard described as Bird Box meets UPS?

From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes a genre-defying experience, now expanded in this definitive DIRECTOR'S CUT.

In the future, a mysterious event known as the Death Stranding has opened a doorway between the living and the dead, leading to grotesque creatures from the afterlife roaming the fallen world marred by a desolate society.

As Sam Bridges, your mission is to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America.

Can you reunite the shattered world, one step at a time?

The iOS version of "DEATHSTRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT" is cross-platform compatible, allowing the same user to share save data and play between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Also included is a photo mode and collaboration content with Valve's masterpiece "Half-Life" and CD Projekt Red's "Cyberpunk 2077.' Connect with players around the world with the Social Strand System™.

Norman Reedus and the Magic Fetus is a crazy, trippy, not-very-typical game. But be prepared to grind a lot if you want to move the plot forward.
