The head of the Nintendo fighting game starring Mario y cia is sincere in the pages of Famitsu magazine.
"Death Stranding is not for everyone." That is the phrase that has been read in many analyzes and has been repeated to satiety. It is also collected by Masahiro Sakurai, director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, who, in statements to Famitsu, has shared his impressions on the video game of Hideo Kojima. The creative has stressed that there are few video games with a proposal as original and interesting as the title of Kojima Productions.
The good and the bad: Sakurai thinks
Despite considering that the work is not suitable for all tastes, the developer has acknowledged that he loves the feeling of losing track of time when playing Death Stranding. According to Sakurai, the game is very well built, as it requires the player to overcome all kinds of obstacles to connect to the network and unlock certain benefits. It also highlights how difficult it is to properly mix new possibilities with history and gameplay.
As negative points, Sakurai focuses on controls, which can be difficult to handle, since it introduces many mechanics that require a button to be pressed. On the other hand, he complains about the subtitles, because he considers them to be too small. However, Kojima Productions already announced that in December it would publish a new patch. The objective? Allow to modify the size of the subtitles, as well as to eliminate the vehicles abandoned by the players, that in certain occasions block the passage.
Both Death Stranding and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate compete in The Game Awards 2019 for the Best Game of the Year award. The title of Sakurai already includes among its fighters Solid Snake, protagonist of Metal Gear Solid. With the announcement of new characters for 2020, the possibility opens up for unpublished fighters to join the fight. Who will be next?
Death Stranding is available on PS4 since last November.
