I think it belonged to Sony. Death Stranding just got released on Xbox as well.

I think this is in the list of games I've pirated but not installed. How high in my backlog priority should it be? Would it join the games I have pirated but later purchased?

It pulled me in. Completely. The world building is genius. The music is amazing. The weirdness is everywhere.

The gameplay is tedious, repetitive and kinda boring. But as you connect more and more places, you get more tools and help from others, tedious journeys become short trips and suddenly everything feels closer to each other.

Overcoming hardship to connect the world again never felt so satisfying.

It coming to Xbox brings joy to my life.

You either fall in love with it or you get bored.

It’s worth trying out just for the weirdness of it all.

Depends if you like the genre or not.

Iirc Death Stranding relied a lot in interactions between players on a persistent world. I'm not sure if that would really work on a pirated version...
