However, if you’ve already played the game, watched some gameplay online, or read Logan's wonderful review , then that isn’t news to you. In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt Another title that is worth picking up right now is Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot . The game was just released last January and offers a single-player action-adventure experience that recounts the events of Dragon Ball Z . Players can pick up Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot right now for $40.19, which is 33% off its original price of $59.99. Immediately after its release, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot received mostly positive reviews from players and critics, and the game went on to top several sales char It's an interesting conceptual design that does genuinely make Death Stranding different from many singleplayer and survival-style games. However, Kojima's comments on the "strand game" genre mentioned sequels , some that may not necessarily be exactly like Death Stranding . In an interview with GameSpot, after being asked about the future of Death Stranding , he stated a new genre of games isn't defined by just one gameplay experie Between the world premieres and the awards being given out, video game enthusiasts have many reasons to tune in to The Game Awards every year. This year's event has the potential to be the biggest Game Awards yet, and it will be exciting to see how it all goes d On July 14, Hideo Kojima’s latest creative venture, Death Stranding , finally releases on PC . Like other PC players, I’ve waited since November to experience Death Stranding on PC, and now that I’ve had my hands on the game for about a week I’m happy to say that, so far, it was well worth the w 2019 was a great year for gaming with many popular titles being released or remade in today's standards. To that end, the list includes breakout games such as Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, on sale for $40.19 compared to the original $59.99 price. Furthermore, the latest addition to the Star Wars canon, Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , can be purchased for $49.79, seventeen-percent down from the normal $60.00 cost. Finally, deathstranding2world.Com Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , the best-selling game in the series on multiple fronts , is available at a thirty-four percent discount on the $60.00 price tag, costing only $39.59 during the sale. On that note, the Season 1 Battle Pass bundle for Modern Warfare can also be purchased for $63.99 compared to the normal $79.99 c Aside from the game’s stellar performance, Kojima Productions actually added new content into Death Stranding’s PC version in the form of new side quests in reference to the classic Valve franchises Half-Life and Portal . These quests become available around Episode 2, which is pretty early in Death Stranding’s campaign. These quests are definitely an exciting addition for PC players as they reward different cosmetics from and based upon the Valve franchises; for an example, look no further than the above screenshot that shows a Half-Life skinned vehicle. I’ve haven’t completed all of the Valve quests yet, but I can tell you that in the first mission I hauled a heavy Portal Companion Cube back to a delivery terminal and was rewarded with an awesome pair of Gordon Freeman glasses to make Sam look a little more scienti Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding sequel , either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t
