• Story and Characters: Death Stranding has a complex and mysterious narrative that unfolds as players progress through the game. The main protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, is a courier tasked with reconnecting isolated cities and delivering essential supplies.
• Strand System: The game introduces a unique social mechanic known as the “Strand System.” Players can leave behind structures, items, and messages for other players in the game world. This asynchronous multiplayer feature allows for collaboration and resource sharing.

• Timefall and BTs: The game features a dynamic weather system, including rainfall called “Timefall,” which rapidly ages anything it touches. Beached Things (BTs), otherworldly entities, pose a threat to Sam, and players must navigate and avoid them using a combination of stealth and strategic movement.

• Music and Soundtrack: The game’s soundtrack, composed by Ludvig Forssell, complements the atmospheric and emotional tone of the game. The use of licensed music also contributes to the overall experience.
