#6 Game of the Year 2019 - Death Stranding

After the world falls victim to a devastating event known as the Death Stranding, Sam Porter Bridges becomes a man tasked with reconnecting a fractured nation. Hideo Kojima's PlayStation 4 masterpiece introduced players to a wealth of new concepts and thematic elements, completely redefining what many of us look for in a game. It's a somber, moving, occasionally humorous experience that brings together some of the greatest star power Hollywood has to offer to weave a tale you won't soon forget. Punctuated by bombastic musical moments and layers upon layers of gameplay mechanics that work effortlessly together, it's a masterclass in storytelling that isn't quite for everyone, but for those willing to put aside their prejudices and get over their juvenile quips about "Norman Reedus and his fetus" will find a beautifully-crafted game that will be talked about for years to come.
