Death Stranding gets its own Twitch Plays Pokemon moment as streamer turns the whole game into cargo that chat has to keep balanced: "Eyes forward, Sam"

Death Stranding.

A streamer has taken immersion to the extreme with their Death Stranding stream, which allows the stream itself to lose balance alongside Sam Porter Bridges.

While Death Stranding is filled to the brim with classic Hideo Kojima idiosyncrasies, including its bizarre plot and worldbuilding, one of the most interesting aspects of the game, in my opinion, is how it makes the act of simply walking around a central mechanic. As the protagonist Sam piled more cargo onto his back, it became harder to keep your balance, especially when travelling over uneven terrain, so you could hold down the triggers to have him hang on to his bag straps and balance himself (which actually works, I've discovered in the time since, who'd have thunk).
