Will I Like Death Stranding if I Like Oregon Trail?

[Z-Beat]

So I've been made aware that the primary mechanic of Death Stranding is figuring out how to get from point A to point B. Everything else is either to support that goal or secondary to that goal. The only other real games that I've played that are similar are Oregon Trail and maaaybe FTL. Am I correct in expecting Death Stranding to be a much, much higher production value version of what Oregon Trail was trying to accomplish with its gameplay style?

Would I be more likely to enjoy the primary gameplay loop, is what I'm asking

Norman Reedus can actually carry upto 120 KG of meat on his back.

Can the mods fix my poll? The 'Yeah sure' Should've been the first choice but it got shoved into the title

He fails to ford the river pretty frequently

If figuring out what path to take is your gem, then yes. It wouldn't hurt if you were also good at deciphering systems heavy gameplay. If you're the type of person who's gonna throw the controller at TVs when a game doesn't control like any other (Team ICO games are a good touchpoint for this), you might wanna keep the receipt though.

I wish Kojima made an Oregon Trail.

Could you imagine the shit you'd run into making towards the Pacific Northwest?

where the fuck is the yes answer

Man now I'm sad that I don't live in a timeline where Death Stranding is actually just an Oregon Trail remake with Kojima writing.

You even have to figure out how to cross rivers without losing your shit. Good stuff

This conversation can comfortably fit within the Death Stranding OT.
