DEATH STRANDING REVIEWS PS4
More of this use of PS5’s 3D audio please.įurther afield, the PS5’s screamingly fast SSD results in extremely quick loading times that make the very notion of playing Death Stranding an appealing one, rather than an passive slog as you can get right into the action at a fraction of the time that it took on PS4 and PS4 Pro. Certainly, perhaps there is no more keenly obvious or apt use of Sony’s tech than when the BTs are encountered and their shrieks and disturbing movements reverberate through your skull (assuming you have the requisite 3D Pulse Headset to pull it off).
Leveraging Sony’s still impressive lump of silicon beyond the breadth of its visual capabilities, Death Stranding Director’s Cut also makes supremely impressive use of the PlayStation 5’s Tempest 3D audio tech. With a notable increase in foliage and environmental detail, not to mention improved texture streaming and the choice to choose between native 4K, 30 frames per second resolution and dynamic 4K, 60 frames per second performance modes, this is the best that Death Stranding has ever looked on console. On PS5 Kojima’s bold vision for a post-apocalyptic, divided earth that is trapped between two realities is realised even better still. Nearly two years on from its original release on PS4 back in November 2019, Death Stranding Director’s Cut aims to give us the definitive version of Kojima’s most recent opus, yet in doing so, it adds in so much additional content that it fundamentally alters the appeal of the base game – and very often, for the better.Īlready an extremely beautiful and technically accomplished effort, it’s certainly fair to posit that Death Stranding was one of the best looking games of the last console generation. Naturally, being a Kojima joint, Death Stranding was an extraordinarily layered affair that often strove, as is Kojima’s modus operandi, towards profundity more so than anything else.Īs such, many quite rightly lauded Death Stranding as this deeply atmospheric, apocalyptic fable that intertwined themes of life, love, connection and the hereafter with physics based traversal and the sort of truly cinematic presentation that clearly bore the fingerprints of Kojima’s directorial style.
Even by Hideo Kojima’s own esoteric standards, Death Stranding offered players an extraordinarily off-kelter experience that sought to elevate, often successfully, the seemingly trite base concept of being a post-apocalyptic delivery man. Death Stranding Director’s Cut PS5 review.
