Most Stressful Open-World Games

It’s a pretty practical weapon against enemies, but how it works just makes no sense. It’s a foam finger that practically disintegrates body parts. In the hands of many, this weapon could take over entire planets, all whilst being entirely comfortable thanks to the foam padd


Trust it the genius Hideo Kojima to come up with such a silly weapon for Death Stranding . The game requires the protagonist, Sam, to go to the bathroom and bathe. It turns out that Sam’s bodily fluids can be used as weapons against the mysterious threat of the BTs. This includes his toilet wa


There’s no practical use for this gun, and its creation is odd and bizarre. It’s unknown who funded such a weapon’s creation, but they must have a great love for dubstep. A weapon that fires music in deadly force to anything in front of its barrel, is impractical as it g


Hideo Kojima, creator of cinematic games like Death Stranding 2 Walkthrough Stranding and the Metal Gear series, among other titles, is often described as an auteur of video games, because of his enigmatic style and the artistic vision he brings to creating playable worlds. Judging from the leaks surrounding his latest project, Kojima might also be described as an auteur of hype, for the masterful way he has built interest around and enthusiasm for his games without actually confirming anything. This is clear from his handling of the Reedus "leaks," which may not even have been leaks so much as carefully scripted reveals orchestrated by Kojima hims

Feeling alone in a vast universe can be as unpleasant as it sounds. There’s also the fact that players could find hostile planets and pirates, which could plunder their loot. There’s also a game mode where if players die, the game ends, meaning they lose everything they have worked for over the ye


Central to the themes and gameplay of Death Stranding was Timefall. It functioned like rainfall but caused anything touched by it to rapidly age and degrade. It was key thematically, tying into the ideas of extinction, but just as important in gameplay, deteriorating your gear and any cargo you were carry

This invention is more of a confusion than it is impractical. For a series built upon the horror of Necromorphs and environmental spooks, it’s interesting that one weapon in Dead Space is a Foam Finger. This finger is a weapon that can obliterate the limbs of enemies with one press. The weapon even makes fun "BANG" noises when fi


In late September 2022, a private document from Sony Interactive Entertainment was leaked on ResetEra by user Arubedo . A spreadsheet appearing to list forthcoming PlayStation titles, the document is dated 2021 and includes a game called Ocean, which was attributed to Kojima Productions. Leaker Dusk Golem on ResetEra claimed that Ocean is, in fact, a codename for Death Stranding 2, Kojima's next game . According to Insider Gaming , Dusk Golem has a track record for reliable leaks in the horror genre, so while some have questioned the authenticity of the leaked document, there are reasons to believe in its accur


As video games constantly evolve, they attempt to outdo themselves on the whimsical impracticality of inventions . These are prominent in sci-fi titles, in which weapons take the center stage on what players can use for themselves, against the many growing forces of evil in sci-fi gam


Despite being a master of boss fights, Hideo Kojima left behind the roots of his Metal Gear boss fights for something more intimate. Boss fights in Death Stranding are few and far between, and mostly play the same, with the player not needing to think so much as to how they will beat their newest adversary. Death Stranding 2 should certainly implement better boss fig

When it comes to co-op, developers should look no further than Dark Souls . It’s one of the perfect examples of co-op, where players can willingly choose who joins them for their adventure. Players can be given warnings through messages, items from allies, and challenged with an invasion. These features would help Death Stranding 2 to become far more immersive and co-op frien


The game's story has been likened to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the pandemic's effects weren't fully felt until months after its release. Protagonist Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus , works as a "porter" who delivers goods and services to Americans, in particular connecting them via new networking technology. It's unsafe for anyone to leave their home due to the dangerous weather phenomenon called timefall, and fans have pointed out the way this bears a resemblance to lockdowns that much of the world was plunged i


That said, Timefall seems solved by the end of the original, at least partially. It would be interesting to see it return, though, and new weather could be even better with storms that lower visibility, extreme heat that tires you out, and harsh winds that make it harder to move. Strong winds are even briefly featured in the original and this would be a great opportunity to expand t
