I often have unconventional picks for #VGMWednesday, and today is no exception.

The needle drops on Death Stranding are just too good. For a game with lots of ambient sound and little ambient music during the gameplay, hearing a song fade in while you approach your destination after a long journey hits extra hard.

The entire soundtrack is great, but today I have "I'm Leaving" by Low Roar.

Hideo Kojima isn’t just a game dev—he’s a storyteller, filmmaker, and innovator. From Metal Gear to Death Stranding, his work defies boundaries.

What’s next for the gaming legend?

Death Stranding 2, in its ten-minute trailer, reminds us why Kojima is a unique creator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdzIwQhYABQ #DeathStranding2 #gaming #KojimaProductions #Creativity #videogames

New Death Stranding 2 trailer features a familiar bandana and a weapon to legally surpass Metal Gear - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/new-death-stranding-2-trailer-features-a-familiar-bandana-and-a-weapon-to-legally-surpass-metal-gear #DeathStranding2:OntheBeach #KojimaProductions #ActionAdventure #SinglePlayer #Blockbuster #Thirdperson #Shooter

My guess is that #DeathStranding2 collaboration between #Sony and #Kojima is what makes it exclusive for #PlayStation5.

The game looks rad, and the hype machine is full steam on. Hopefully this time will be less a walking simulator and more an adventure game.
