Death Standing: Director's Cut is the definitive version of the game. It's gorgeous and runs at 60 frames per second, while including everything from the PC version. The new missions are a bit too light on content, but they round out the experience nicely...

Abstract: The GoodThe BadFew knew what to make of Death Stranding when it arrived on PS4 in 2019. Stunningly beautiful and with the weight of Metal Gear Solid 's creator Hideo Kojima behind it, it should have been a shoo-in for one of the best games on the plat...

Stunningly beautiful game - even more so on PS5,Loads of extras including new gear and structures,Quality-of-life improvements make the gameplay easier to get into,Haptics and adaptive trigger help with immersion
Still as bamboozling as ever,A lot of cutscenes in the beginning several hours' worth of play,Some players might just find the main gameplay repetitive and dull
Plenty of additions and tweaks or no, Death Stranding: Director's Cut will continue to allude those sceptical the first time around. It does make it easier to get immersed into Kojima's world though, for those who had a passing interest and decided agains...
