• In the vast world of Death Stranding, where connections blur and isolation reigns, I find myself trapped in a never-ending cycle of loneliness. Every step I take feels heavy, as if the weight of the world is pressing down on my shoulders. The beauty of Hideo Kojima’s creation is overshadowed by the stark reality that sometimes, even amidst the chaos of life, we are left to wander alone. The haunting echoes of unfulfilled promises linger, leaving me to question the meaning of our connections.

    As I traverse this desolate terrain, I can't help but feel like a ghost, haunting the shadows of a world that has moved on without me.

    The Complete Guide To What The Actual Hell Is Going On In Death Stranding
    Given just how categorically weird Hideo Kojima’s games are, and how otherwise risk-averse AAA publishers tend to be, it is downright miraculous that Death Stranding was enough of a blockbuster hit for someone to greenlight a second one—even moreso s

  • In the vast emptiness of the world, where connections feel like distant echoes, I find myself overwhelmed by a profound sense of isolation. Just like the preppers in Death Stranding 2, I yearn to connect the scattered fragments of my existence, yet the chiral network remains unreachable, leaving me adrift. Each day feels like a reminder of the solitude that lingers, whispering in the silence. The rewards of companionship seem like mere illusions, glimmering far beyond my grasp. I walk this beach alone, haunted by the absence of warmth, searching for a sign that I am not as alone as I feel.

  • In Death Stranding 2, you're just wandering around Australia, trying to connect everything to the Chiral Network. Along the way, you might stumble upon a place owned by the Ghost Hunter. But honestly, if you find it too early, you can't really do much until you meet the Chronobiologist. Sounds kind of tedious, right? Just another thing to wait on.

  • In this vast, lonely world, where connections are fleeting and memories fade like whispers in the wind, I find myself lost. Just like Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2, I carry the weight of solitude on my shoulders. The beauty of his improved visage only reminds me of what I yearn for—understanding, companionship, and a spark of hope in the darkness. As players revel in the adventure, I can't help but feel like a ghost, watching from the sidelines, haunted by the echoes of unfulfilled dreams. Every step feels heavier, every moment more isolating. This game may offer escapism, but my heart remains anchored in this sea of despair.

  • In the dim light of solitude, I find myself staring at the screen, contemplating the moment in Death Stranding 2 when I utter "I refuse." A choice that echoes the emptiness within me, a reflection of the paths untaken and the connections severed. Each click feels like a reminder of the burdens I carry, the weight of isolation pressing down, leaving me gasping for the warmth of companionship. The game mirrors my heart, where every refusal is a step further into the abyss of loneliness. How many times have I turned away when all I needed was to reach out?

  • Hell is Us terrifies in all the best ways

    Hell is Us has been on my radar since it was first announced in April 2022, and I’ve finally been able to spend some time with it via its demo. The war-torn world of Hell is Us is immediately chilling and the demo’s brief glimpse of the gameplay, despite some minor hang-ups, has me eager for more.

    You play as Remi as he ventures to the fictional country of Hadea. A civil war has broken out, dividing and devastating Hadea’s people. Remi must travel through the war zone in search of his parents, and quickly comes across a farmer who exposition-dumps plenty of information that may or may not stick. Essentially, shit is bad, tragically so, and Remi is about to discover just how bad.

    You wander around a forest while an unsettling Returnal-esque score accompanies you. Eventually you gain access to ruins that turn out to have been some sort of dungeon for prisoners long ago. It’s here that Remi encounters the first of hopefully many “oh, shit!” moments. He comes across a creepy-ass enemy I can best describe as if Spot from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was designed to horrify — a pale white humanoid with a black circle for a face who contorts around the level like a marionette. A mask-wearing woman shows up out of nowhere to take down the creepy foe, but dies saving Remi. Without explanation, Remi decides to don her poncho, take her drone, and wield her BGS.

    Turns out he’s pretty good with a sword. Remi will encounter a couple dozen enemies throughout the demo; the combat is easy to pick up and is somewhat standard third-person-melee, though it does rely heavily on stamina management. Your max stamina is also reduced when you take damage, so you really don’t wanna get hit much.

    You can heal using consumable med kits as well as a pulse mechanic. Attacking enemies creates floating particles around Remi and once those particles form into a circle, you can press your controller’s right bumper to activate a healing pulse. It’s an interesting mechanic, and I like how Hell is Us is giving players a way to recoup health in the midst of combat. However, actually doing it is a bit clunky; keeping one eye on an enemy and the other on the particles around Remi is distracting, and timing the pulse is a challenge — you can only activate it during a brief window, and you’ll likely be in the middle of a combo when a pulse opportunity presents itself.

    While Hell is Us’ combat has surface similarities to Soulslikes — like parrying blows from creepy enemies — it felt less punishing and more forgiving than what you’d expect from a FromSoftware title. I only died once in the demo, compared to countless deaths in the opening hours of Soulslikes such as Lies of P or Elden Ring. Notably, enemies don’t respawn when you save your game, so you don’t have to worry about repeatedly striking down the same foes.

    Because dead enemies remain dead, exploration is encouraged in Hell is Us. Developer Rogue Factor boasts that the game has “no map, no compass, no quest markers,” so you’re free to wander around the game’s world without a guiding hand and discover its secrets. For example, that farmer I mentioned earlier told Remi about how three of his sons died in this war. Later on, when exploring the World War I-like trenches outside of the ruins, I found a note from a soldier on the other side of the conflict bragging about killing three brothers “cowering in a farmhouse.”

    The note also mentioned taking a gold watch from one of the boys, which I grabbed and returned to the farmer — without a quest marker to guide me or a journal entry saying “give this item to the farmer.” This completed a “Good Deed” and I was told a reward may come from it later in the game; I’m curious how these types of quests will play out in the full release. The prospect of doing good deeds in this torn-asunder country is especially appealing.

    A Soulslike-adjacent game placing greater emphasis on user-guided exploration than combat sounds enticing, and Hell is Us is delivering on that promise so far. Its demo is available on Steam through June 16 before the full game launches Sept. 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

It’s an interesting mechanic, and I like how Hell is Us is giving players a way to recoup health in the midst of combat. However, actually doing it is a bit clunky; keeping one eye on an enemy and the other on the particles around Remi is distracting, and timing the pulse is a challenge — you can only activate it during a brief window, and you’ll likely be in the middle of a combo when a pulse opportunity presents itself. While Hell is Us’ combat has surface similarities to Soulslikes — like parrying blows from creepy enemies — it felt less punishing and more forgiving than what you’d expect from a FromSoftware title. I only died once in the demo, compared to countless deaths in the opening hours of Soulslikes such as Lies of P or Elden Ring. Notably, enemies don’t respawn when you save your game, so you don’t have to worry about repeatedly striking down the same foes. Because dead enemies remain dead, exploration is encouraged in Hell is Us. Developer Rogue Factor boasts that the game has “no map, no compass, no quest markers,” so you’re free to wander around the game’s world without a guiding hand and discover its secrets. For example, that farmer I mentioned earlier told Remi about how three of his sons died in this war. Later on, when exploring the World War I-like trenches outside of the ruins, I found a note from a soldier on the other side of the conflict bragging about killing three brothers “cowering in a farmhouse.” The note also mentioned taking a gold watch from one of the boys, which I grabbed and returned to the farmer — without a quest marker to guide me or a journal entry saying “give this item to the farmer.” This completed a “Good Deed” and I was told a reward may come from it later in the game; I’m curious how these types of quests will play out in the full release. The prospect of doing good deeds in this torn-asunder country is especially appealing. A Soulslike-adjacent game placing greater emphasis on user-guided exploration than combat sounds enticing, and Hell is Us is delivering on that promise so far. Its demo is available on Steam through June 16 before the full game launches Sept. 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
