Is Death Stranding still worth playing 3 years after? (ClutchPoints)

Let's take a look at Death Stranding's story and gameplay to figure out if it's still worth playing 3 years since its release.

If you want to play a game, that will make you think, make you question what you know, and oftentimes make you go “What the hell?”, then this game is right up your alley. yes, you will have to contend against the various entities that roam the land but at the end of the day, you will still be walking. Although we can’t deny that the game is one huge walking simulator, it does enough to change the formula up a bit, making your walking actually challenging. The more things you have on you, the harder it becomes to walk. Whenever you leave behind a rope, a ladder, or even a bridge, there is a chance that other players will encounter it in their world. Of course, that’s not the only basis for whether you should play a game or not. However, it’s something you really have to consider if you want to pick this game up. If it wasn’t already obvious, I don’t want to go into a deepdive of this game’s story. If you want to buy the game, you can get it on [PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5,](https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-CUSA11260_00-DEATHSTRAND00001) and PC via the Epic Games Store, [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1850570/DEATH_STRANDING_DIRECTORS_CUT/), and the [Microsoft Store.](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/death-stranding/9nkchzztl308) With that out of the way, let’s now take a look at this game’s gameplay and story to decide if Death Stranding is still worth playing. We will be taking a look at Death Stranding’s gameplay and story to figure out the answer to that question. This lets you get and keep the game on your account. All of these Metal Gear Solid games had “blink and you’ll miss it moments.” Not just that, but their stories are so deep, and often times convoluted, that it makes you wonder just what exactly is going on in his mind.
