Death Stranding is a truly unique gaming experience from the warped and brilliant mind of Hideo Kojima. There aren't many rockstars of the industry in this day and age, but I think Kojima certainly qualifies. Death Stranding wasn't just one of the best games from 2019, but also deserves to be held as a game changer of its generation. It may not be for everyone but it is like no other game that has come before it, bridging the gap between gaming and cinema, in a surreal and twisted journey of a delivery man just doing his job. Stunning, heart-breaking and an emotional roller coaster, Death Stranding has created shock waves that I hope never settle. Hopefully much like what I said about Hellblade in my other article, this will bring with it a dawn of new experimental, more artistic game development.

The good news is PC gamers will see Death Stranding land on the 2nd of June. Hideo Kojima has teased that the game also will boast a new photo mode, the absence of which caused PS4 users much frustration. This did not prevent the explosion of virtual photography content on social media. Clearly, you can take the photo mode from the game but you can't take the photographer out of the gamer. Throughout this article you will see photographers shots of the game, both screenshots from cut scenes and in game shots. Of course there are those that refuse to shoot from cut scenes and claim it is not art. I am not here to debate that, just to embrace the beautiful creativity of the hobby. Each to their own. I believe whatever gives someone inspiration and drive to shoot new things and experiment with edits is a great thing.

Never fear though those of you that have the game on the PS4. Kojima himself hinted that it could also be coming to the PS4 in the form of an update. The video he shared allows you to pan around a frozen scene, play with the aperture, change the levels of exposure, contrast, use filters, remove Sam from the shot and even change little BB's expressions and poses! The first virtual baby model!

Steam and the Epic Games Store will both see the arrival of the PC version on the 2nd of June. Complete with the usual host of pre-order content. Unreleased soundtracks, a digital art book as well as different skins for things in game. If you'd prefer the steelbook edition, it contains all the same content but a slightly higher price margin.
