In a world overwhelmed by noise and with more players looking for solace, it’s time the triple-A developers pay attentionI am 85 hours into Death Stranding 2, an apocalyptic nightmare about Earth becoming infected with death monsters, and I’ve realised that I’m playing it as a cosy game.

The only reason I complete the main story missions is to open new areas of the map so that I can meet new people and build more roads.

According to his daily schedule, he’ll make an appearance at the Kennedy Center at 11am ET, and make an announcement.He’ll then head back to the White House and sign executive orders at 4pm ET.
