I know almost nothing about Death Stranding, the upcoming video game from Metal Gear Solid developer Hideo Kojima, but I am completely in love with it. I’m a cynical guy, the kind who’s spent the past few days irritating my co-workers with my grumpy hot takes about Fallout 76 (what's the point of a Fallout game without non-player characters to tell a story?!). I’m unmoved by most things and tend to treat hype with suspicion. When No Man’s Sky failed to live up to the lofty expectations it set, I shook my head and said “I told you so.”

And yet, Death Stranding has absorbed me in it’s hype machine. I gobble up every scrap of information, watching every trailer repeatedly to glean new knowledge about the game. I scour Kojima’s twitter account looking for hints and clues to what, exactly, Death Stranding is.
