I'm carrying half a ton of metal scrap and the soul of my dead daughter over the crest of a red sand dune when a mournful folk song begins to play, the words All that I want is a home inside the woods, and a woman that I can love spilling softly out of the universe. One of Death Stranding 2's endless notifications pops up to tell me the sun is beginning to set. Dusk settles right as I park the truck full of random crap I just stole from a camp full of bandits, and I cherish the uncanny timing of another perfect music video moment before I bring the new location into the chiral network, reconnecting the isolated outpost to humanity via magic wi-fi. One cutscene later, the dusty landscape behind me has transformed into a Las Vegas strip of player-made bridges, power generators, futuristic timefall shelters and neon holograms, each zapped into my game world because they've accrued hundreds of thousands of Likes from other porters who've run across them.
What is it? The most complicated mail delivery sim conceivable by human minds
