Death Stranding Is Secretly A Stealth Retelling Of This Japanese Legend
28.2.2023
Death Stranding is undeniably an odd game. It has floating spirits, rain that makes you older, ghost-detecting babies, and pee bombs. That’s not to say that the weirdness makes it bad, though. Even its harshest critics, who deride it as a “massive failure” or (gasp!) a “walking simulator” will...

8.11.2022
I am obligated to report that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty is over 20 years old. I may not want to think about that, but here we are. The original visual aesthetic has a wonderful PS2-era charm that I think has become rather endearing in its age. But that hasn’t stopped one modder from...
