    Yeah, playing during the pandemic made it hit harder, I feel. It really drove home the loneliness, but also the need for a connected community during unprecedented times.

      It’ll always feel like a relic of that time, won’t it? I wonder how we’ll talk about it in 20 years…

      I played a chunk of it then on PS4, but found the text exhausting and put it down. One of these days I’ll have to play it on PC, but it just won’t feel the same.

        I played it on PS4 and beat it, then got it free on Epic a while ago. I didn’t have a PC powerful enough until I got my Asus ROG Ally last year. So, I had to replay it. I love Death Stranding so much and I can’t wait for DS2.

        That is to say, it felt the same on PC for me because I used a controller both times, lol.

          I’ll play it with an Xbox controller on PC, but what I mean is the thematic impact of playing it while so much of the world is also isolated isn’t - hopefully won’t be - repeatable.
