While waiting for the next installment, let’s do a plot recap for Death Stranding, including all major characters, story points, and more.
Death Stranding is an action-adventure game from Kojima Productions. It’s a game set in a post-apocalyptic United States where you play as a porter trying to connect isolated communities.
The game is mostly known for its memes featuring the protagonist, played by Norman Reedus, carrying a baby. This gave rise to some funny memes made by the community, like “Norman Reedus and the Funky Fetus.” Memes aside, the game actually has an interesting storyline and well-developed characters. However, outside the community, people are mostly familiar with its cargo delivery gameplay, calling the game an Uber simulator.
Now, withDeath Stranding 2on the horizon, let’s take a refresher and discuss the first game’s plot recap, major characters, and crucial story points. I’ll try not to reveal information that could be a major spoiler.
