10 Incredible Singleplayer Features You Can Only Unlock By Playing Multiplayer
6. Improving The Wasteland Together - Death Stranding
Although Death Stranding was met with a mixed reception by critics and players all around, those who have stuck around with the game past its somewhat lackluster release or returned to it after years can truly appreciate the idea behind it.
This is because it took years for people to see that the true genius of the game lies in its integration of single-player and multiplayer features.
Death Stranding is entirely a single-player experience. As you deliver packages across the wasteland, you're never going to see a friendly face, let alone one that would be controlled by another player.
However, what you can see is the dozens upon dozens of structures that all the players have built throughout their personal campaigns.
You see, the key element of Death Stranding is that although none of the players can see each other, they can impact each other's games by constructing ziplines, bridges, and other elements of infrastructure that make the wasteland easier to traverse.
It is a truly one-of-a-kind co-op experience that happens and leaves a huge impact solely within individual single-player playthroughs.
