8 Terrible Video Games With AWESOME Stories

8. Death Stranding

Now the joke could easily be made that no one actually understands the story of Death Stranding enough for it to be listed as being "awesome", but when you look at the threads of this strand genre game that do make sense, then you really are witness to something pretty special.

Sure, the messages of connecting with your fellow man, treating each other with respect and pulling together as a society are about as subtle as a brick to the face, but at their core these are actually pretty bloody essential mantras that we should all imbue within ourselves!

Even when the game is getting abstract you can never say it's boring, however you can say this exactly when it comes to its gameplay.

Or at least, that's what the internet with have you believe.

It does seem that the moment that people take control of Sam was the moment the fanbase divided sharply. Some loved the laboriously slow and methodical walking mechanics and delivery mission-centric gameplay, others hated being Post-Apocalypse Postman Pat, and derided the meat of the game as being the worst bit about the experience.

Whatever your take there's no denying that the narrative of Death Stranding was different, and in this day an age that actually counts for more than you'd think.
